    The Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition

    A free, week-long festival celebrating the cutting edge of UK science.

    Glasgow Science Festival

    We also support other science festivals, such as the Orkney Science Festival

    Collaborative projects have included Chasing the Waves, a project that brought together researchers in IGR, actors and musicians to produce a live, musical show about the detection of gravitational waves.

    Younger members of the public were encouraged to help make a large mosaic of the first gravitational wave signal and the completed work will shortly go on display in the Glasgow Science Centre.

    Invited talks at New Scientist Live, public plenary talks e.g. SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation 2016 and several talks with various Scottish astronomical societies
