More than 400 events are expected to take place across the country from 7-14 November. This year’s theme, Or Place in Space, comes following the recent discovery of light from a supernova explosion which took place 290 million years ago by an Irish amateur astronomer.
A national programme of events will be rolled out throughout the country, including science and technology festivals in Galway, Sligo, Mayo, Waterford and Cork. The ever-popular lecture series returns to the Science Gallery in Dublin, with talks open to the public and school children. Speakers will include Dr Martin Hendry who will give a controversial lecture entitled “Was the moon landing a Hoax”. In addition, Icebreaker and B.J. Cole will perform music from legendary musician and producer Brian Eno’s Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks in the National Concert Hall.
Thousands of people are expected to attend over 400 events nationwide during the Week targeted towards children, secondary school students, parents, teachers and others who may be interested in science and its applications.
