Our events are typically held monthly on the last Thursday of every month. They are traditionally an hour long, with around 20 minutes of presentation followed by 40 minutes of discussion. After the hour, we let our presenters off the hook and allow the discussion to continue among the participants. Although COVID has led to us hosting virtual events, we are doing our best to keep connecting the community with science and technology.
We use our Facebook Page for organizing and sharing information about events.
Please navigate to our Cafe Scientifique Twin Ports Facebook Events page for more information about our events.
