York ESRC Festival of Social Sciences

The ESRC Festival of Social Sciences (FoSS) is an annual celebration of the social sciences, a key mechanism to engage with audiences outside the university, and an important opportunity to demonstrate the impact of social science research on key social, economic, political and environmental issues. 

As part of our commitment to the ESRC (via our ESRC Impact Accelerator Account, 2019-2023), the University of York is pleased to support of programme of activities linked to the Festival.

The Festival will run between Monday 4 and Friday 9 November, with a range of events across the City of York, including a range of lectures and The Big Food Quiz.
