ESRC Festival of Social Science
The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Festival of Social Science is a nationwide event celebrating social science research.
A series of fascinating public events are hosted each autumn by our researchers, offering an insight into some of the country’s leading social science research.
This year’s Festival took place between Saturday, 21 October- Friday, 17 November 2023, and focused around lifelong wellbeing to reflect the 75th anniversary of the NHS.
More information about the 2024 festival will be published next year. You can find more information about the festival on the Festival of Social Science website.
