Galway Science & Technology Festival

The Galway Science & Technology Festival
The Galway Science & Technology Festival was launched in 1998 in order to bridge the gap between students and industry regarding the Science subjects.  The Festival has grown over the 13 years and become an annual fixture for all those involved which include Students, Teachers, Parents, Universities and Industry throughout the county.
The Festivals aim is to inform, educate and inspire young students to choose the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects as their chosen field of study and future career which in turn will continue to provide excellent graduates required to build a strong knowledge economy.
The Committee is made up of representatives from all the sectors involved and we work together throughout the year to ensure that each year the Festival brings something new to the students and we aim to continue to inspire our young people in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
This festival could not take place without the generous support of our local companies and Government agencies who continue to sponsor the festival year on year and to whom we are most grateful.
 If you would like to become a member of the Festival by way of sponsorship or if you are interested in taking a stand at our exhibition on Sunday 21st November at the Bailey Allen Hall at NUI Galway, please send an email to galwaysciencefestival@gmail.com
