Welcome to the 2017 Cavan/Monaghan Science Festival

 A regional Festival celebrating, exploring and promoting the wonders of science, technology, engineering arts and maths (STEAM) in our everyday lives. This year the festival will take place from 7th-23rd November across the two counties.

The festival is a Monaghan County Council and Cavan County Council initiative in partnership with Cavan Monaghan ETB, and generously funded by Science Foundation Ireland.

2016 was our inaugural year, with over 145 events and approximately 9000 participants from preschool children to adults attending across the two counties.

We will have some of the best national and international scientists, researchers, speakers, creators and artists to take you on a new road of discovery.

From the science of superheroes to nanotechnology, science behind baking to Crime Scene Investigation, wonders of the cosmos, water for wellness to the mystery of food labelling or try your hand at coding, podcasting, 3D cad, lego storyland, to dealing with serious topics such as cancer, HPV, autism and dementia. We hope you enjoy our festival of discovery, learning and fun!
