Science and Engineering Day is back this Saturday 16 March offering a unique public window into the wide-ranging work of our world-class research-intensive University, with over 130 fascinating exhibitions, interactive displays, talks and shows.
There’s still time to register for day, secure your place here.
There are 12 different Zones to visit, many opportunities to meet research teams who are having a global impact, and visitors will be able to see the labs and facilities where the research is actually taking place. It’s free to attend and will be open from 10:30 to 16:30.
New activities open for 2019 include the chance to explore the life-changing work of the Auditory Implant Service and an opportunity to meet our Formula Student Team in the AutoLab.
We are featuring two exciting competitions this year – one to highlight the 100th anniversary of the University’s presence at Highfield with a spot the difference game, and another open to people travelling to the festival in a sustainable way, such as walking or cycling.
Science and Engineering Day is part of the Southampton Science and Engineering Festival. The Festival is the largest event of its type in the South, is always scheduled as part of British Science Week, and is a full member of the UK Science Festivals Network.
Follow the Festival Team on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and don’t forget to join the conversation using #SOTSEF.

Some of the 130+ free activities are ticketed to manage the event effectively. A proportion of these are released in advance, with the remainder available first-come first served on the day and they can be collected from the venue of the activity/talk itself.
