Fun and thought-provoking events are lined up in Tipperary for this year's Science Week

Science Week, a national celebration of science, is running from November 12-19 with hundreds of fun, engaging and interactive events taking place nationwide.

This year’s Science Week aims to spark a national conversation about what it means to be human in today’s world, and how the decisions we make today will impact the people and world of the future. 

The people of Tipperary are being asked to get involved in the Human? conversation and to consider what lies ahead for future generations. From the climate emergency to social interaction and artificial intelligence, how will future generations be impacted?
