<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.nottsfosac.co.uk">The Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity</a> will be taking place 10 - 17 February 2021. For the last five years, the festival has been a key opportunity for
<b>researchers and students</b> of every discipline from University of Nottingham to take their research off-campus and into the everyday lives of the people of Nottingham. The festival reached over 10,000 participants in February 2020, with over 60 events
and more than 50 UoN staff and students involved. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The festival team, which includes a wide partnership of representatives from UoN, NTU, Nottingham City Council, Ignite!, and other cultural and educational organisations, is planning on delivering the next festival with a highly adaptive
programme that includes both virtual and in-person activities. <b>If you're interested in getting involved and want to find out more</b>, join Megan Shore (Festival Producer) and Maria Richards (Institute for Policy and Public Engagement) for a 30 minute Zoom
call. These briefings will be tailored to your faculty, giving examples of successful activities that have inspired participates in the past and allowing you to explore how to make your idea work.<o:p></o:p></p>
