From engaging kids with sustainable cooking to exploring the global sand crisis, the University of Plymouth opened its doors for the annual Festival of Social Science.

The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Festival takes place every autumn and encourages research institutions to engage the public in the work they undertake.

Supported by the University’s Public Engagement and Events Teams, academics from across the institution tackled some of society’s most pressing issues for all ages, with some great feedback received.
