Who we are
Science in the City is Malta’s national science and arts festival. This year, the festival will be held from the 29–30th September. It provides a unique platform for the community, scientists, researchers, artists and performers to engage with one another with the aim to advocate for positive change through active citizenship and critical thinking. The Festival celebrates the creativity and innovation of artists and scientists and presents how their work continues to improve our everyday lives. Science in the City aims to show the importance of creativity in education as well as empower new Changemakers in the community, increasing the number of students opting for STEAM careers.
The first Festival was held in 2012, It was the first science and arts festival to be brought to Malta’s shores and has been growing in scale and vision ever since. The number of attendees has more than doubled from 12,000 in 2012 to 30,000 in 2019 — reaching over 6% of the total population of the Maltese Islands. The number of activities has more than tripled as has the number of partners, researchers and volunteers involved, with over 90 organisations, 80 researchers and 600 volunteers involved. Each year we aim to widen participation across all parts of society in order to inspire more people to be empowered by science, this makes our festival more diverse and representative of our communities.
