Cafe Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Meetings take place in cafes, bars, restaurants and even theatres, but always outside a traditional academic context.

Cafe Scientifique is a forum for debating science issues, not a shop window for science. We are committed to promoting public engagement with science and to making science accountable.

Where & When: Kro Bar on Oxford Road, 6pm on the last Wednesday of every month.

What: The full forthcoming programme of events can be found on the Café Scientifique Manchester website.
