The Manchester team are looking to recruit volunteers for the next Pint of Science Festival (14-16 May 2018)!
Pint of Science is a three day festival taking place across Manchester, where scientists are brought to the pub to share their research with the public. The festival has been a great success and now simultaneously takes place in over 10 countries. This year marks the 5th year that the festival has taken place in Manchester.
We need volunteers to organise the following themes, as well as one-off events throughout the year:
- Atoms to Galaxies – e.g. Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Materials.
- Beautiful Mind – e.g. Neurosciences, Psychology, Psychiatry.
- Planet Earth – e.g. Earth Sciences, Plant Science, Zoology.
- Our Body – e.g. Biology, Medicine, Health.
- Tech Me Out – e.g. Technology, Engineering, Computing.
- Our Society – e.g. Sociology, Public policy Law, History, Archaeology
Don’t be put off if you’re not a scientist! There are numerous roles in organising this event and we need plenty of creative minds. This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience in event organisation and public engagement, as well as meeting new people. There will also be positions on the committee such as promotion, social media officer, website organisation etc.
We will be holding out first meeting in the University of Manchester Students Union Council Chambers (room 2) at 17:00 – 18:00 on 7 November 2017.
