To celebrate Coventry City of Culture - Amazing Women and British Science Week, we are pleased to announce the return of the Slice of Science, hosted by the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine.

The Slice of Science is designed to bring together generations of women, by engaging them in two large scale events across British Science Week 2022 through community events on campus. We will be linking academic inspiration with a national favourite pastime – drinking tea and eating cake!

We are aiming to reach new local audiences, increase the awareness of Warwick, as well as promoting women in science to our local community.

Bringing to life science through interactive workshops, taster sessions and inspiring talks, with of course the opportunity to drink lots of tea and eat cake! We aim to bring families and women together – an intergenerational learning approach and to excite them with key scientific insights.

Age Groups: All are welcome and not just women.

Timings: 12pm - 4pm (plus a film screening from 4pm)

Location: The Oculus Building, University of Warwick

Parking: For anyone struggling with the payment for parking, please turn up to the Oculus building and we can make arrangements for you.
