Theme for 2026 - Mind and Matter:

The Summer School is a weekend event for adults interested in exploring the role of science in our culture.

A Festival, not a School ; Science, but not for Scientists.

We explore where ideas come from and how they impact and affect how we see the world today. It brings together speakers across various fields on a particular theme and is held in Lismore and Waterford early summer.

In addition of the talks and discussion, the weekend features an array of entertainment, social gatherings and a delightful garden party in the stunning surrounds of Lismore Castle Gardens.
