BRITISH SCIENCE ASSOCIATION

About the British Science Association

The British Science Association (BSA) is a leading charity dedicated to promoting the understanding and enjoyment of science in the UK. Established in 1831, the BSA has a rich history of engaging the public with scientific research and innovation.

Our core mission is to inspire a passion for science and to make it accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or education. We believe that science should be a part of everyday life, and we work tirelessly to foster a culture where science is celebrated and understood.

Through various initiatives, including public events, educational programs, and community outreach, the BSA aims to bridge the gap between scientists and the public. We organize the annual British Science Festival, which showcases cutting-edge research and provides a platform for scientists to share their work with diverse audiences.

In addition to our festival, we run numerous projects aimed at enhancing science education in schools and communities. Our Science Communication training programs equip individuals with the skills needed to effectively communicate scientific concepts to non-experts.

The BSA also advocates for science policy and funding, working closely with government bodies to ensure that science remains a priority in national agendas. We collaborate with various stakeholders, including universities, research institutions, and industry partners, to promote a vibrant scientific community.

As a membership organization, we invite individuals and organizations to join us in our mission. Members benefit from exclusive access to events, resources, and a network of like-minded individuals passionate about science.

With a commitment to inclusivity and diversity, the BSA strives to represent all voices in the scientific discourse. We are dedicated to breaking down barriers and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to engage with science.

Join us in our journey to make science a fundamental part of society and to inspire future generations of scientists and innovators.
