A small team brings together hundreds of researchers with thousands of people in a Festival every year; who are we and might you join us?

The Festival began in 1992 as an independent science Festival for Oxford. It is constantly evolving and we welcome everyone, from anywhere!

We rely on the generosity of businesses, charitable organisations and individuals to keep this high quality Festival going

We love to hear ideas and feedback on the Festival and how we can better connect with everyone who values creativity and science

IF Oxford 2023 will take place 7 - 28 October 2023. Find out what we're planning, how to get involved and submit your event proposal

In 2018, we rebranded as IF Oxford, and set culture and society alongside science and tech. Browse Festival events and summary reports from IF Oxford from 2018 to 2022.

We publish in academic journals and blogs, and present at international and national conferences to share our learning with others in the sector

Pay What You Decide (PWYD) is just one way we reduce barriers to science and great ideas, while paying for a high-quality Festival
