British Science Week

British Science Week (BSW), run by the British Science Association (BSA), is an annual event celebrating science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). It provides a platform to support teachers, STEM professionals and the public in delivering STEM activities and events across the UK.

It is a fantastic opportunity to showcase amateur radio to new audiences, regardless of age.

British Science Week 2027

The next British Science Week will take place between 5-14 March 2027 – add the date to your diary and help share amateur radio with others!

The overall theme will be announced shortly and we’ll be making more announcements about the RSGB’s plans later in the year.

Keen to start planning?

The key to any event is thorough planning and we have plenty of resources to help you. Visit our ‘Planning a public event’ web pages for advice on a range of topics including risk management and promoting amateur radio to the public.

Want to get involved but not sure where to start? Have you planned an event that you’d like us to publicise? Wherever you are in your planning, get in touch with the RSGB British Science Week Co-ordinator for a chat via bsw@rsgb.org.uk
