Summer Science Exhibits on Tour at Festival of Tomorrow

20 - 21 February 2026 The Deanery CE Academy, Peglars Way, Swindon SN1 7DA Free

The Royal Society is pleased to support three exhibits from recent Summer Science Exhibitions to participate in the Festival Finale at Festival of Tomorrow.

Nanotechnology and virtual reality for safer surgery - UCL Hawkes Institute

Put your surgical skills to the test with technology developed by researchers at University College London that could be used for training surgeons more precisely, affordably, and safely.

People, nature and mining - Natural History Museum

Mines often have a negative impact on biodiversity and environments. However, the mining industry delivers metals critical for the energy transition to limit climate change. The Bio+Mine project applies a holistic approach across biodiversity, geology, water and social sciences to inform rehabilitation measures together with local communities in the Philippines.

Llamas vs viruses - The Rosalind Franklin Institute

How could a llama help us against viruses? Surprisingly, llamas produce smaller antibodies than the human ones. Find out how these antibodies can help humans against all kinds of viruses and why llama farms are becoming more important in treating human illness.
