Seeing parties, events, and gatherings slowly return to a pre-pandemic format will put a smile on anyone’s face.

The highly-anticipated Science in the City festival is the latest event to announce a semi-return to normality as it confirmed that it will be taking place in a hybrid format – that is, both online and in person – throughout September.

This year’s rendition of the science festival will be made up of a combination of physical and digital events, which will eventually culminate into the main events taking place on the 24th and 25th September.

As for the festival’s theme, this year Science in the City will be championing the phrase ‘Sowing Seeds’.

This refers to the festival’s aim of introducing an element of responsible research and innovation amongst researchers and citizens. Neat!

Thinking of joining in on the fun?

There’s a plethora of online events and activities you can partake in – we’re talking webinars, quizzes, do-it-at-home experiences, and performances, amongst other things.

If you’d rather experience the action in person, then make sure to head Fort St Elmo in Valletta, where all physical events will be taking place in accordance with current Health Regulations.

But wait! There are a couple of things to keep in mind before heading to the venue…

Make sure to book a space for any physical event you want to attend. Also, you’re going to have to present a vaccination certification upon booking, so you better get jabbed if you haven’t yet!
