The Coventry University Festival of Social Science: 6 – 17 November 2023

The Festival of Social Science (FoSS) offers a fascinating insight into some of the country’s leading social science research and how it influences our social, economic and political lives – both now and in the future. Discover how it shapes public policy and contributes to making the economy more competitive, as well as giving people a better understanding of 21st-century society.

The Coventry University festival features a mix of online and face-to-face events, held across Coventry city centre and the university campus. Participants will be able to take part and hear about social science research at the festival’s many engaging events.

Coventry University’s programme of FoSS events are free to attend and designed for *people of all ages
