Solent Festival of Ideas
Solent Festival of Ideas
17 – 19 June 2019
The world in which we operate continues to evolve, requiring new skills and approaches to solve problems and create growth. Solent University’s Festival of Ideas aims to creatively explore how the University can collaborate with a range of partners to tackle the challenges and change affecting our social, cultural and economic futures, and position Southampton as a connected city. A range of events are taking place across the city centre over the week, from engaging with research and innovation, to exploring enterprise.
Highlights of the week include:
Engaging with Research
Explore a digital archive, use research methodology to make a perfect coffee, or collect a map from the Spark and explore Southampton’s social history… You can engage with research and innovation across the disciplines through a series of workshops and seminars taking place during the week.
