Edinburgh Science, founded in 1989, is an educational charity. It organises a two-week Edinburgh's annual Science Festival,[2] the world's first public celebration of science and technology, and still one of Europe's largest. Alongside the annual Festival in Edinburgh, the organisation has a strong focus on education and runs touring programme Generation Science[3] that visits schools around Scotland throughout the year. Edinburgh Science also operates a large-scale international programme of work under the Worldwide arm.[4] It regularly presents events overseas and has been the major programming partner of the annual Abu Dhabi Science Festival,[5] helping to curate, produce, and deliver the event.

Edinburgh Science holds various educational activities and events. Their portfolio includes more than 100 workshops, exhibitions, and shows which are delivered worldwide though festivals, schools outreach, careers events, collaboration projects, and health education programmes.

In January 2019, the organisation changed its name from Edinburgh International Science Festival to Edinburgh Science.[6]
