Meet the Scientists

Meet the Scientists needs you!

Come and share your research with a family audience through hands-on activities and experiments at a Meet the Scientists day at the Museum of Liverpool or at Eureka. Meet the Scientists is open to all researchers at post-graduate level and above, no experience is necessary and we will provide training events in the run-up, or we're happy to work with individuals to develop their ideas.

Next dates

• Saturday 23rd November - Eureka!
• Saturday 8th March - World Museum.

We are looking for people to:

• Run an activity about their research; this can be a brand new activity or one that you’ve run at another event, you can run this by yourself or with other people from your research group
• Help out with the general running of the event on the day.

Audience info:

• We get between 1-2,000 people through the door per event.
• It tends to be a family audience, with children most commonly between 4 and 11 years old.
• Some researchers design activity for children but prepare seperate conversations to have with parents/adults.

We can offer:

• Support with developing your activity
• Budget to buy resources
• Tips and advice on engaging a family audience
• Overall event organisation; you just need to turn up with your activity on the day. We'll even buy you lunch.

Why you should take part:

• Meet the Scientists are fun, friendly and rewarding events
• Opportunity to share your research with the public
• Develop new skills and experience of working with a family audience.

We have now filled all activity stands at Eureka! We are looking only for general volunteers.
