Dublin has been designated as European City of Science for 2012. During the year, a large number of scientific events will be organised in Dublin and nationally in order to showcase Ireland’s growing capacity in science.

The highlight of the year will be the Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF 2012), which will be held in the new Conference Centre in Dublin on 11-15 July 2012.
Dublin City Public Libraries will contribute to the City of Science programme throughout the year.

Science all Around Us is Dublin City Public Libraries’ programme for the City of Science, bringing lectures, presentations and workshops to the general public, adults and children alike.

It will run throughout 2012, and will feature science elements in all of our major programmes such as International Women’s Day, Bealtaine,  and later in the year Heritage Week, Engineers week and Science Week.  Details will be updated regularly.
