Café Scientifique Launceston, founded in 2010 by Professor Colin Webb MBE FRS, is a branch of the national Café Scientifique network.

Meetings are held most months from February to November now downstairs at the Eagle House Hotel 3, Castle Street Launceston PL15 8BA at 6.45pm. After the talk by a guest speaker, there is a short break but in these Covid times, no refreshments at the moment. The audience then reassembles for a question and answer session and general discussion. Anyone can ask a question and those which begin "This might be a stupid question but ……. ?" are positively welcomed.

Cafés are free..However, we hope that non-student members of the audience will make a contribution of at least £5 to cover the hire of the venue and equipment and the speaker’s travel expenses. This can be done online. Contact us for the bank account details.

Normally you just turn up on the night but as numbers are currently linited to 50 people, we are issuing tickets to reserve seats. You can take a chance if you feel lucky.

Unfortunately it is not possible to have a meal at the Eagle House before each meeting but the hotel's bar is open.

If you are not already on our email list and you would like to be kept informed please use the Contact Us page to send us your email address. Suggestions for future talks are extremely welcome.

A list of Cafes for 2022 is posted on the Cafes Page.
