Each year, the British Science Association holds the British Science Festival, one of the UK’s largest science festivals. It attracts over 350 of the UK’s top scientists and engineers to discuss the latest developments in science with the public. This year, the Festival will take place from 4-9 September 2012 in Aberdeen. The Festival generates a great deal of press interest and the British Science Association runs a strong press operation to facilitate this.
