Where is Orkney? What sort of place is it?

Bad weather => Good source of renewable energy!

OISF founded 1991 and still going strong! Dr Howie Firth OISF Director Founded first Edinburgh Science Festival in 1989

Quote from Howie Firth on the background to the OISF “A science festival is first and foremost a festival. Up till then [1991], science had been something that was good for you, and science events were aimed at scientists and people who were already interested. By contrast a festival was something for the whole community to enjoy, something fresh and creative, with surprises and excitement and sheer enjoyment.”

Update on Marine Renewables Lecture on the maths of knots and twisting, with dance ! OISF Lectures

“This was my very first visit to Orkney and therefore, my first exposure to the vibrant and exhilarating Science Festival. It was an incredible week – the Festival pulsated! It was far larger and far better supported than I would have thought possible.” Visitor from Edinburgh, 2012
