What is a session? 

Our sessions are 75 minutes long and make up the core of the Ecsite programme. They offer participants the opportunity to explore specialised topics in our field, led by the community and delivered in a variety of formats, including panels, discussions, fishbowls, debates and world café, among others. Sessions run throughout the day from 8-10 June.

Bazaars take place in a large, open room where speakers present their activities from individual tables, while participants wander between them to hear the latest updates. 

The Grand Bazaar

Presenters share their best hands-on activities and science demonstrations where participants can either make things, build things, play with things or experiment.

The Inspiration Bazaar

Enthusiastic experts share their resources, projects, or activities that could inspire others.
