Opportunities
At Glasgow Science Centre, we have many opportunities for Public Engagement. It’s a great forum for sharing your work or research with our visitors.
Every year, we work alongside experts and researchers to showcase STEM research, career opportunities and build science capital for school, family, adult and community audiences.
There is a broad range of Public Engagement opportunities from; tabletop activities, workshops and lectures to live digital events, podcasts and written interviews.
Current Public Engagement Opportunities
In Person events
'Science Lates: Time' on 13 March 2026
Our Science Late events are adults only, and the theme for March is Time, and we are looking at the past, present and future. We are looking for experts who would like to bring their knowledge of time, time travel, space time, the future of robotics or AI.
If you have a super engaging talk or a hands-on demo you’d like to share with a curious adult audience, please get in touch with us.
If these events appeal to you and you would like to creatively spread your STEM research to a wider audience in a fun and relaxed setting - get in touch at [email protected]
If you'd like to work with us on public engagement outwith our seasonal programme of events, such as on funded projects or research grants, we'd also like to hear from you!
Please note, all in person activity will require:
- Public Liability Insurance from your organisation
- Risk Assessment with Method Statement
- If using any chemicals, we will need a Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and a COSHH assessment
- Any electrical equipment that needs to be plugged into the mains will need a PA Test (portable appliance) carried out within the last 12 months.
