The ESRC Festival of Social Science in Northern Ireland is part of the wider UK Festival of Social Science and is led by Queen’s University and Ulster University. The Festival is a mix of talks, discussions, even walking tours and all events are free of charge.
Queen’s University Belfast and Ulster University have once again come together to produce an exciting and varied programme that showcases the range of high-quality social science research carried out by our researchers. This year’s Festival theme is “My Local Area,” with some of our events exploring challenges faced by our local communities, both urban and rural.
The UK-wide Festival is an annual celebration of research and knowledge about human behaviour and society and celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2022. The Festival offers a fascinating insight into our social science research and how it influences our everyday lives.
