Bradford Cafe Scientifique

What is Café Scientifique?

Café Scientifique is the place where you can find out about the latest ideas and research in science and technology. At the Cafés, speakers present exciting topics in the realm of science. These include healthcare, engineering, psychology, mathematics, archaeology and many more. Previous topics have focused on artificial intelligence, what insects can tell us about climate change, the mathematics of shape, green concrete, science of music and obesity.

Whatever you are interested in, we’ve got it covered! Our programme is always varied, and we work hard to find topics to suit different interests. 

Café Scientifique promises to be an interesting, informative, and informal evening. Speakers will introduce the topic for the first 30 minutes and then after the break you will have an opportunity to ask any questions. We really welcome the lively interactions between the audience and our speakers.

No matter what your background is, you will learn something new and have your questions answered – even questions that you didn’t know you had.

And the best of all, the events are free. You can view the 2023/2024 programme on our Facebook page.

When does it take place?

Café Scientifique is a free event that takes place on a Thursday evening at 6:30 to 8:00pm once a month.
