[apologies for cross-posting]

To all those who are involved in helping to plan and/or run a Science Festival:

I’m writing to ask you to spare 10-15 minutes before the holidays start to help us with a research project that will hopefully help us all demonstrate the benefits of science festivals to others – and help everyone to compare notes to do it better.

The aim is to collect information about as many festivals internationally as possible, so we need your help to both complete the survey and spread the word.

http://www.survey.bris.ac.uk/bnhc/sciencefestival

We are aiming to publish a summary report, as well as a journal article on behalf of the community. The research team is currently Savita Custead from the Bristol Natural History Consortium, Karen Bultitude from UWE, Dom McDonald from the Oxford Trust, and Annette Smith from the BA (and EUSCEA). If you have any questions about the process, please get in touch!

Thanks very much in advance for your help with this.
