The BIG Event 2026 National STEM Learning Centre 15TH - 17TH JULY 2026 New for 2026! Pay it Forward Fee We know that the cost of everything is rising, and budgets are shrinking! One of the biggest barriers to coming to BIG is the cost of a ticket, and so that’s why we’ve introduced a Pay-It-Forward option. This is an optional £25 you can add to your booking, and provides a limited number of 1 day places to delegates who otherwise would not be able to attend. Who is it for? In short? Anyone, we’re not gonna question your need or reasoning. But we see it as being especially useful for freelancers, early careers science communicators and small businesses with limited budgets. Are you someone who could benefit from the pay-it-forward scheme? Email our event manager Sam, at event@big.uk.com to chat,

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
