British Science Week 

7-16 March 2025

British Science Week is a celebration of science, technology and engineering, run by the British Science Association.

The theme for 2025 will be ‘change and adapt’, which is key to many discoveries in science, technology and engineering. To celebrate British Science Week, we will be running several activities for teachers and students to explore change and adapt in science.

We are working hard to finalise plans for British Science Week next March, we will update this page with more details as they are confirmed. Please do get in touch with us if you have any questions about the event in the meantime, we'd love to hear from you.

Online pre-recorded videos

While you’re waiting for further details from us, check out our wide range of pre-recorded lectures and taster talks from across our Science and Health faculty. You can access these at your convenience during British Science Week and share with others in your classrooms, in your student bulletins and with parents.

Smashing stereotypes in STEM workforce

We are joining the Smashing Stereotypes campaign that was launched by British Science Association to celebrate that diversity as part of British Science Week. It aims to encourage STEM workers to share their stories about what they do in their day-to-day work – to highlight the diversity of the STEM workforce, the broad range of jobs and careers available, and that scientists are just like other people.

Dr Alba Garcia, Dr Aline Villavicencio, Professor Maria Fasli, Research Student Anca Sticlaru and Research Officer Mays Al-Naday explain why they are proud to be part of the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering at Essex.

Meet Philip, our previous Head of Department for the School of Life Sciences, as he chats to Ellie about how he came to get in to science from a working class background in Bolton, how he deals with anxiety, and going down to his local for a pint.

Women in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering
Without diversity there can be no innovation. See how we support women in the tech-dominated world.
Women in Life Sciences
Women in our School of Life Sciences continue to make important contributions to their specialist fields, from biomedical science and genetics, to plant science and marine biology.
Women in Sport Rehabilitation and Exercise Science
Women in STEM have so much to contribute in terms of offering a diversity of perspectives in the lab, classroom and society. Read Dr Ruth Lowry’s story about her unique career journey.
