The Summer of Research is a new festival celebrating impact and research at Sussex. Now in its second year, the aim of the festival is to push the boundaries of knowledge in a range of creative ways. This year the festival will be held from May 20 to June 21 2024. 


For anyone involved in research, whatever level of experience, and curious members of the public, there will be something of interest in our programme. Join us to learn about the diverse range of research at the University, the innovative approaches being taken and pioneering techniques being used.

Some of the exciting events on offer include:

  • Impact Days
  • Sussex Doc Fest
  • a Dragon’s Den-style competition for Early Career Researchers
  • the Sussex Beacons Series of talks from our Research Centres
  • Open Research and Ethics workshops.
