The World Science Festival debuted last year, and it was such a success that it returns to New York from June 10 to 14. New York University is proud to be a leading partner of this celebration of scientific discovery. The festival will bring together dozens of Nobel laureates, artists and performers, researchers and scientists, authors, and policy makers for a range of events in venues on the NYU campus and throughout New York City. Through five days of discourse and debate, film and theater, exploration and discovery, the festival seeks to shift the public's perception of science as an intimidating academic subject by highlighting its relevance to everyday life, revealing the insights it provides, and examining its critical role in meeting the challenges facing the world. Last year's inaugural World Science Festival drew over 120,000 attendees to four days of sold-out programming.  View the Event Schedule and get you tickets using the special NYU discount!
