NORTH West

Meet the Scientist Refugee Week Special

If experiments, mind-bending theories and mad professors are your thing, come and rub brain cells with refugee scientists at the Museum of Science and Industry.


When and where

Saturday 19 June, 11.30am - 2.30pm
Museum of Science and Industry, Liverpool Road,
Castlefield, Manchester

For information on how to get to the museum, visit www.mosi.org.uk.


Find out more about the contribution scientists and academics make to life and work in Manchester at the Museum of Science and Industry’s Meet the Scientists Refugee Week special.

There’ll be oodles of hands-on activities, an experiment or two and a little bit of history thrown in along the way…

We can’t offer you an encounter with Einstein, the most famous refugee scientist of them all, but you will have the chance to chew over scientific theories with a refugee scientist we helped resettle through the Gateway programme.


Tickets

No prior booking is needed and the museum is free to all.

For more information contact the Museum of Science and Industry on 0161 606 0108.
