Louth Library Services Presents Louth Science Festival
Louth Science Festival (LSF) is back with Then. Today. Tomorrow. Science Week marks thirty years of harnessing the power of curiosity and collaboration. Now, let’s unlock new possibilities.
This year, we reflect on the Science Weeks that have come before and the progress we have made as a community.
Funded and supported by Research Ireland and Creative Ireland, Louth Science Festival seeks to make science more fun and accessible to the entire community.
Louth Science Festival 2025 – Will share how science and research have shaped and improved the lives we live today. Together, we will explore tomorrow’s questions and challenges, and how our past can inform our decisions for the future.
Browse through the website for more information, to book in for upcoming events, or to take a look at Science Festivals past.
Join us as we journey from Then to Today to Tomorrow, exploring the infinite space of discoveries from earlier Science Weeks, and charting the course for those to come.
About
LoUTH
SCIENCE
FESTIVAL
Since its inception in 2018 Louth Science Festival (funded and supported by Research Ireland, Creative Ireland and Louth County Council) has become a stand-out event in Louth Library Service’s annual programming, providing STEAM activities, workshops, events and talks to audiences around the county.
Louth, according to Research Ireland, is a low intervention county in terms of STEAM participation. Louth Science Festival, aligning with Research Ireland’s Science Week objectives, aims to find different ways of bringing Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths to new and existing audiences, particularly reaching out to those not typically serviced by STEAM programming.
The festival also aims to inspire the community towards STEAM careers, and emphasise the importance of STEM in everyday society, in keeping with the Research Ireland Strategy 2025, focusing on ‘Delivering Today; Preparing for Tomorrow’.
Over the past number of years, LSF has allowed us to build meaningful relationships with local organisations and community groups, including Louth County Council and Dundalk Institute of Technology (DKIT), as well as local schools, nursing homes and Youthreach Centres. It’s our aim to grow and develop these connections, and build new ones as the festival develops.
