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.
