Science Café Wales started in Cardiff in September 2004 and were rolled out across the country in 2005. They currently take place at the Gate Arts Centre usually on the first Tuesday of each month with a break during summer.

Topics covered include, The Big Bang, Nano Technology, Climate Change and What Babies Know. The programme content is decided upon depending on current news, availability of speakers and requests.

Copus, an organisation designed to support and encourage ways of making science accessible to public audiences in the UK, funded the project launch. The café’s are now lead by a group of volunteers from various organizations and is supported by Techniquest and Cardiff University’s School of Engineering.
