Our work

The British Science Association coordinates, delivers and oversees a number of different projects and programmes aimed at engaging more people with science. We work across the UK by building partnerships with national and local organisations that match our vision of a world where science is seen as a fundamental part of our culture and society. Below is a list of some of the projects we manage, or are a part of.
