Science Week, the annual week-long celebration of science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM), will take place across Ireland from 10-17 November. This year, Science Week will explore the theme of Regeneration.
Science Week is harnessing the power of regeneration and calling on the public to celebrate our innate ability to reinvent, rejuvenate and regenerate. With hundreds of events taking place nationwide, there is something for everyone –whether you’re passionate about protecting our environment, biodiversity, our future health or using technology like generative AI in our everyday lives.
With fourteen festivals taking place across the country, including Cork Space Fest, Kerry Science Festival, Science Circus by the Sea Festival and “C’mere Till I Tell Ye” Dublin STEM Festival, there is something for all ages and interests.
Regeneration is happening all around us, and Science Week is the chance to explore the endless opportunities for the future and how the decisions we make today will greatly impact future generations.

Science Week is a chance to show people what is possible when we use our collective strengths to build a brighter, more sustainable future. This Science Week, there is something for all generations, and I would encourage everyone to get involved, whether by attending local events, engaging online, or sharing experiences with friends and family.”
