The current group of people organising Sheffield Cafe Scientifique are:
Cathy Mackenzie, Douglas Bell, Michael Granville
The first Café Scientifique was established in a Leeds wine bar in 1998 by science programme maker Duncan Dallas. There are a number of Café Scientifiques in cities across the UK.
A Café Scientifique is held in a public place, such as a café, bar or restaurant, where the general public, practising scientists and science communicators gather in a relaxed and informal environment to explore the latest developments in science and technology.
The Sheffield Café was established by Sandrine Soubes in October 2003.
The Café, formerly held at the Showroom, provides an opportunity to meet and interact with practising scientists, ask questions and join in an debate surrounding topical scientific issues.
Sandrine's work in organising has been continued by a group of volunteers, who work together to keep the Sheffield Café running.
