Soapbox Science 2025: Call for volunteers!

Soapbox Science returns to The Mound in Edinburgh on Saturday 3 May 2025. Soapbox Science is a public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists and the science they do.

We are looking for volunteers to assist on the day to help the event run smoothly. Volunteers are involved in the following roles:

  • assisting speakers during their slot on their soapbox
  • carrying out evaluation of the event (including conducting short surveys
  • helping passers by to engage with the event and crowd control
  • asking questions of speakers to encourage dialogue between the crowd and the speakers.

It’s a great opportunity to gain an insight into a large-scale science communication public engagement activity, carry out different types of evaluation methodology and hear about some great STEMM research.
