Win tickets to New Scientist Live - a weekend of science, discovery and mind-blowing experiences! Taking place on 18–19 October at ExCeL London, this festival brings together over 70 world-class speakers, 80+ interactive exhibits and a programme packed with innovation. Can’t make it in person? You can also join online.
Scientists of the future
Visitors can embrace their inner scientists and dive into the frontlines of research and innovation: explore the hospital of the future, witness the cutting edge of fusion energy or chat with Euclid, a fully automated, 3D printed social robot! If you’ve ever fancied trying your hand programming a real quantum computer or joining the hunt for dark matter from a mile underground – you can do it at New Scientist Live.
Headline speakers span everything from wildlife and gut health to space, nuclear energy and even baking with Chris Packham, Megan McCubbin, Dr Zoe Williams, Dr Amir Khan, Dr Megan Rossi, Professor Anu Ojha, Dr Tim Gregory and Bake Off’s Dr Josh Smalley all bringing science to life in unforgettable ways.
Workshops are new for 2025, offering a chance to get closer to discovery. Step into the Science of Whisky with Billy Abbott, unlock the secrets of gut health with Dr Johnny Drain, or mix art and anatomy in an Ocean Art-e-facts drawing class with Russell Arnott.
Immersive experiences will fire your imagination from flying a Chinook simulator and tackling the Blaze Pod challenge to exploring soft robotics, micro-robotic eye surgery, ultrasonic imaging and 3D-printed implants.
