Between 18th October and 8th November, we will run a series of events that give an insight into the positive benefits of research in people’s lives, and offer you the opportunity to find out more about the University of Bristol’s social science research. 

The Thinking Futures Festival is part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science and is open to the general public, schools, policy-makers, local businesses and third sector organisations, in Bristol and beyond.

The ESRC Festival of Social Science is an annual celebration of research and knowledge about humans and society. It’s a key element of ESRC’s commitment to share UK social science research with new audiences. The festival features hundreds of free events across the UK for both children and adults, run by 41 universities and research institutes.
