Café Scientifique is a free and open forum for debating science and technology issues, not a shop window for science. We are committed to promoting public engagement with science and technology and making it accountable.

If you would like to attend, please contact Nazila Noorkhan on 01322 312 000.

For past and future meetings, please see the Events page.

Next Event:  No Powder, No Life!
The next event is on 26th June 2008 at the Nucleus, doors open 6:45pm for a 7:30pm start.  Professor Alan Reed, Director of the internationally renowned Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology presents discusses how powdered and bulk solids materials affect every part of our lives, from most things on the supermarket shelves to the quality of the medicines we take.  We will see how they are handled, the problems, and how dangerous they can be.
