Who we are

Science In The City Is Malta’s National Science And Arts Festival

Science in the City is Malta’s national science and arts festival. This year, the festival will be held on the 27–28th September. It provides a unique platform for the community, scientists, researchers, artists and performers to engage with one another and advocate for positive change through active citizenship and critical thinking.

The Festival celebrates the creativity and innovation of artists and scientists and presents how their work continues to improve our everyday lives. Science in the City aims to promote J.E.D.I., empowering the community to strive for Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, while increasing the number of students opting for STEAM careers. 

SitC dates back to 2012, it has been growing in scale and vision ever since. The number of attendees has more than doubled from 12,000 in 2012 to over 30,000 by 2023 — reaching over 6% of the total population of the Maltese Islands. The number of activities has more than tripled with several international acts, as has the number of partners, researchers and volunteers involved, with over 90 organisations, 80 researchers and 600 volunteers involved.

Each year we aim to widen participation across all parts of society in order to inspire more people to be empowered by research, this makes our festival more diverse and representative of our communities.
