RDS at Glasgow Science Festival: 7 - 8 June 2025

When we go to hospital, receive treatment, or take exams, data is collected. Join us at the Glasgow Botanic Gardens on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 June to learn more about how researchers use this data to gather insights that can improve people's lives.

Learn about how data is linked - for example health and education data - to generate insights and understanding. Play with LEGO®, join the dots and talk to the team from Research Data Scotland and the University of Glasgow.

About this year's Glasgow Science Festival
