Our Team

Learn about the people behind this festival

Behind the scenes of the Science in the City festival, is an international team of dedicated JEDIs who strive to create a fresh and exciting event every year, one that resonates with people from all walks of life. A festival that is sensitive to the challenges we all face and that inspires all of us to make the changes we need to overcome these challenges.

We unfortunately don’t have a magic wand to conjure up the festival. What we do have is an incredible team of creative thinkers and problem solvers, working tirelessly to bring you the best possible experience.
