The 14th European Science on Stage festival will take place from 28-31 May 2026 in Klaipėda, Lithuania. 450 primary and secondary school teachers from all over Europe will come together to share their most creative and innovative STEM ideas at stands, in workshops, and in highlight sessions.

The UK delegation has now been announced by the UK Science on Stage National Steering Committee. Contratulations to all those that have been selected! We wish you all the very best and can't wait to hear all about the experience!  

Stuart Farmer, Chair of the Science on Stage UK National Steering Committee said of the delegation:

‘I am really pleased to say that our Science on Stage delegation comes from across the UK and is also spread across the disciplines to include EYFS, primary, secondary biology, chemistry and physics. It is  also really pleasing that three of the UK participants in SonS2024 in Turku, Finland who have gone on to conduct joint projects with teachers from other countries have also been selected to present this work in SonS2026 in Klaipeda, Lithuania.’
