Explosive experiments, fossil finds, flying toilet paper and hands-on science drew thousands to Fitzgerald Park in Cork City last weekend, as Ireland's largest outdoor STEM celebration once again thrilled visitors of all ages. Cork Carnival of Science 2025, supported by Cork City Council and Research Ireland, took place on June 7th and 8th in the heart of the city, delivering two days packed with scientific spectacle, family fun, and unforgettable learning moments. An estimated 20,000 people attended the free festival, enjoying everything from live experiments and nature-based discovery zones to walkabout science shows and gravity-defying stunts. Highlights of the weekend included crowd favourites such as RTÉ's Mark the Science Guy with his electrifying Storm Chaser show, the Air Force spectacle by Simply Science, and the colourful chemistry of Bubbling Botanicals by Science 2 Life. Budding palaeontologists brought rocks to be examined at the Fossil Roadshow, while families engaged with over 50 STEM exhibits led by Ireland's top research centres, educators, and scientific outreach groups. Throughout Fitzgerald Park, visitors explored interactive zones focused on everything from microbiomes and biodiversity to robotics, renewable energy and sports science. Live science shows ran across three performance spaces and were joined by roaming science performers who mixed bubbles, circus skills, sleight-of-hand and spectacle to wow the crowds. All shows were free, non-ticketed, and repeated throughout the weekend, making it easy for families to join in at their own pace. Key Statistics from the 2025 Cork Carnival of Science Over 20,000 people attended across the two days 300 scientists, researchers, performers and volunteers took part 50+ interactive stalls and activities 45 live science shows across multiple pop-up venues, marquees and stretch tents. 13 food vendors and family amenities on-site €300,000+ economic impact Commenting on the weekend's success, Carnival of Science Organiser Mervyn Horgan, said: "The Cork Carnival of Science is about sparking curiosity and showing that science belongs to everyone. It's a free, inclusive event that encourages discovery in a way that's fun and memorable - and we're thrilled to see families returning year after year, often attending on both days. This year's event had something for everyone, from bubbling beakers to dancing robots, a bed of nails and prehistoric fossils. We're incredibly grateful to our partners, performers and the public who made it such a success." Cork City Council has been promoting STEM engagement through a variety of projects ,including Lifetime Lab at the Old Cork Waterworks for over 20 years, with Cork Carnival of Science now established as a cornerstone of that effort. Its unique format - bringing science out of the lab and into the outdoors - ensures that children and adults can explore real-world research in a relaxed and playful environment. The festival also prioritised accessibility and inclusion, with sign language interpretation at scheduled live shows, and a dedicated quiet zone near the Sky Garden for those needing a break from the sensory buzz. Cork Carnival of Science 2025 was presented by Cork City Council, supported by Research Ireland. For updates or to explore highlights from the weekend, visit www.corkcity.ie/corkcarnivalofscience .
From flying toilet paper experiments to identifying ancient fossils, there is a whole lot of wild and wacky scientific fun headed to Fitzgerald Park this weekend. The Cork City park is transforming once again into Ireland's largest pop-up science lab as the Cork Carnival of Science returns from June 7th - 8th. With explosive experiments, roaming performers, live shows and hands-on discovery zones, this FREE family fun weekend invites visitors to explore, discover, investigate, and experiment with the science behind the world around us. Whether you're a curious kid, an intrigued adult, or just someone who appreciates a great day out, there's something for you to discover! In fact, here are ten fascinating scientific theories and concepts you can explore at this year's festival: 1. Air Pressure Can Make Things Fly (Even Toilet Roll) At The Air Force Show, a high-energy demonstration from Simply Science, you'll see the principles of flight brought to life using high-speed fans, air cannons and an unlikely co-star: flying toilet paper. This dynamic show explores how unseen forces like lift and drag keep things airborne, from planes to paper. 2. Storms Are Made of Science In Storm Chaser, RTÉ's Mark the Science Guy recreates extreme weather phenomena indoors with a series of electrifying experiments. Expect sparks to fly as he explores the science behind lightning, thunder, and static electricity, revealing what really happens when the atmosphere turns wild. 3. Physics Is Behind Every Great Goal If you've ever wondered what connects a footballer's balance to Newton's Laws, Science of Sport has the answer. Using agility drills, balance boards and crowd participation, Science Made Simple shows how physics, biomechanics and reaction time all play a part in performance on the pitch. 4. Fossils Tell Stories (and You Might Be Holding One) At The Fossil Roadshow by Irish Fossil Heritage, young explorers can bring in their own rocks to be identified, learning whether they're holding a lump of limestone or a 300-million-year-old fern fossil. It's a chance to uncover Ireland's prehistoric past through real-life geology and palaeontology. 5. Plants Are Tiny Chemists In Bubbling Botanicals by Science 2 Life, budding scientists can experiment with colourful potions and fizzy reactions to discover how plants use chemistry to grow, adapt and even defend themselves. Expect bubbling beakers, vibrant colours and a few surprises in the tent on the Main Green. 6. Bubbles Reveal Invisible Forces It might look like a pretty bit of magic, but the giant bubbles floating around Fitzgerald Park are actually lessons in surface tension and air pressure. Watch as science performers use soapy spheres to demonstrate the physics of liquids in action. It's mesmerising and surprisingly educational! 7. Everything is under pressure Have you got what it takes to lie on a bed of 3000+ nails and discover the mind-blowing science of pressure and force? Join the team from Explorium- Ireland's National Sport and Science Centre to find out! 8. Optical Illusions Are Just Brainy Physics The Circus Science Show blends sleight-of-hand, circus skills and scientific explanation to explore how the brain interprets light, sound, and motion. You'll laugh, gasp, and probably be tricked - all while learning how our senses can fool us. 9. Plants React to the World Around Them Plant 'behaviour' might sound odd, but it's a growing field in biology. At various science stands, you'll discover how plants move, respond to light, and even 'communicate' using chemical signals. It's a leafy lesson in environmental adaptation and survival and one that makes perfect sense in the lush green setting of Fitzgerald Park! 10. Robots Can Dance (and You Can Build One) In the innovation and discovery zones, you'll find robotic kits, coding challenges and interactive exhibits that prove STEM is so exciting. Try your hand at simple programming or meet a robot that follows your commands - and maybe even ...

The report from the Inaugural Valentia Island Symposium on Subsea Cable Security and Resilience, held from October 10-12, 2024, was launched at the European Maritime Day Event in Cork City. This unique Symposium brought together Irish and international experts from industry, academia, and government to address critical issues related to submarine telecommunications cables. Hosted at the historic Valentia Island Transatlantic Cable Station, a symbol of global communication and innovation, the Symposium provided a unique setting to reflect on the historical, political, social, economic, and technological dimensions of subsea cable security and resilience. Subsea Cable Security and Resilience Growing digital dependencies as well as recent geopolitical tensions and the concurrent climate crisis have placed the topic of critical infrastructure protection at the top of policy, industry and research agendas. This includes subsea telecommunications cables, across which over 99 percent of transcontinental data traffic transits and upon which countries across the globe increasingly rely as they continue to digitally transform their economies and societies The report describes several recurring themes central to the discussion on subsea cable security and resilience including; Geopolitical tensions affecting the subsea cable ecosystem. The need for public-private engagement at sea and on land as the subsea cable industry owns and operates most cable systems, while at the same time, governments are responsible for national security and the delivery of essential services. The critical role of technology in both public and private efforts to ensure the resilience and security of subsea cables systems. The Valentia Transatlantic Cable Foundation was proud to host this not-for-profit event at the place from where the first transatlantic cable was laid over 150 years ago. The event was run in collaboration with a team of Irish and international researchers as well as global industry actors, and with the generous support of AquaComms, Ireland's Departments of Foreign Affairs and Defence, the IDA, Aurora, Philip Lee, Analysys Mason and the European Subsea Cables Association (ESCA). The report is available at https://www.valentiacable.com/event/cable-symposium/ Over three days of presentations, thematic panels and side events, recognized experts in the field examined historical continuities and discontinuities in key security and resilience questions; how security and resilience come together in national policy; current policy and practice in identifying and responding to subsea cable-related incidents; how industry and government are adapting to the current geopolitical environment; core characteristics of the cable repair eco-system and related challenges; technology's contribution to security and resilience of the systems; and current and future policy and regulatory issues. Several recurring themes central to the discussion on subsea cable security and resilience are evident. Principle among them is the growing complexity of the regulatory environment at a time when, for both resilience and security purposes, regulation needs to be more streamlined and predictable, attuned to shifting cable ownership models, as well as better coordinated and harmonised across connected countries, while also meeting one of its primary aims, which is to prevent and mitigate risks that could negatively impact individuals, communities, or entire societies. Many governments are working towards these goals within a broader framework of critical infrastructure protection. Second, as in the past, geopolitical tensions affect the subsea cable ecosystem. They influence the geographies of the physical network and spill over into regulation and an ever-broadening number of policy areas, at national, regional and international levels. Ensuring the availability of the systems and of fleets and supply chains is a concern of both industry and government. It requires vario...
