Please find below a 'call for proposals' for popular science events and activities as part of this year's BA Festival of Science... THE BA FESTIVAL OF SCIENCE The BA Festival of Science 2004 will take place at the University of Exeter from 6 - 10 September 2004. The theme of the Festival is the responsibility of being a scientist. Further details about the Festival and the core scientific programme can be found at www.the-ba.net. In Exeter, the Festival of Science will for the first time be accompanied by a diverse programme of events not only at the University but all over the city and the region. Events and activities will vary in their edginess, ‘seriousness’ and style, and will engage a broad range of local audiences in science-related activities and spectacles. We do not want to prescribe events but a range of approaches is envisaged from, say, science in film, science through drama, science trails, science in shopping centres, science exhibits, and so on, to consultation events with specific groups concerned about particular local, science-related issues. The target audiences of these events and spectacles should be as diverse as possible. They should mainly coincide with the dates of the core Festival, however the weekends before and after may be utilised. CALL FOR PROPOSALS The local coordinators are now looking to hear from individuals and organisations that want to run science-related events and activities for the local public as part of the BA Festival of Science. Proposals should include a short one paragraph description of the event and give an indication of the target audience. The local coordinators will identify proposals for inclusion in the Festival programme, and will lend a ‘helping hand’ to organisers of events. Proposals should be sent as soon as possible, or by 15 February.
