Support Us

With special thanks to all our partners

The Edinburgh International Science Festival is produced annually by the Edinburgh Science Foundation, an educational charity whose mission is to inspire, encourage and challenge people of all ages and backgrounds to explore and understand the world around them. We couldn’t achieve this without the support of our funding partners, who allow us to engage with more than a quarter of a million people every year.
