The first Café Scientifique was established in a Leeds wine bar in 1998 by science programme maker Duncan Dallas.
A Café Scientifique is held in a public place, such as a café, bar or restaurant, where the general public, practising scientists and science communicators gather in a relaxed and informal environment to explore the latest developments in science and technology.
The Sheffield Café was established by Sandrine Soubes and has proved popular since its launch in October 2003. The Café, held at the Showroom Cinema, provides an opportunity to meet and interact with practising scientists, ask questions and join in an often lively debate surrounding topical scientific issues.
In 2007 Sandrine was joined a team of volunteers, who work together to keep the Sheffield Café running. |
