Events this year include the science of wine tasting and pairing, coastal change, fossils, and copper mining.
Meanwhile, presenters Mark Langtry, Ken Farhuhar and Cas Kramer are back by popular demand.
Offering further insight into this year’s offering, Dr Sheila Donegan, Co-Founder and Co-Director of CALMAST, the South East Technological University’s STEM engagement centre, said: "We will be exploring the science behind wine tasting and pairing. We will also mix comedy and science and will be looking at why copper was mined in Waterford and if it could be again.
"We’re examining fossils in the city, will host a coastal change workshop and walk and much more."
Among the South East Science Festival partners this year are local street art festival specialists Spraoi.
TV Honan, Spraoi Director, said: “Spraoi performances are a mix of art, engineering, and technology. Human creativity is the common link, and we love working with SETU colleagues making imaginative connections between art and science.”
The festival returns from November 8, to November 16.
