Our Deputy Managing Director, had the privilege of attending the opening session of this year’s British Science Festival.

The British Science Festival is Europe’s longest standing science festival, travelling to a different place in the UK each year. The festival aims to connect people with scientists, engineers, technologists and social scientists.

This year the festival was co-sponsored by Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) and the University of Liverpool (UoL) with more than 100 free events taking place across both campuses and cultural venues across the city including Bluecoat, The Black-E, Kazimier Garden, the Museum of Liverpool, and Liverpool ONE.

Our Deputy Managing Director, Marga Perez-Casal had the privilege of attending the opening session of this year’s British Science Festival.

The event was a celebration of all that Liverpool has to offer in research and innovation, showcasing some of the “firsts in Liverpool” such as the railway between Liverpool and Manchester back in the 19^th century, the fact that football goal nets were first created and used in Liverpool and the fantastic work that scientists in Liverpool delivered through the COVID pandemic, among many others.

Marga Perez-Casal said: “I personally enjoyed the ‘In conversation with Julia King, Baroness Brown of Cambridge’. A formidable and very engaging woman who started her passion for science at an early age living with her mother in London. She is a great example of what a life in science is, and a very apt new president of the British Science Association. Her passion is still as strong as ever, with the emphasis on the importance of good science education in schools as a must for the UK.

It was also a great opportunity to meet new scientists and innovators in our city and explore new opportunities for LHP to support.

A truly inspiring event.”
