The University of Sheffield hosted a virtual celebration of its annual Festival of the Mind, an event that brings together the university and city's creative community for 10 days of ideas, culture and collaboration.
Bringing University research to life
During the Festival, Sheffield academics and professionals from Sheffield’s cultural, creative and digital industries brought the University's research to life in exciting, entertaining and innovative ways.
These included virtual reality exhibitions, podcasts, films, online installations and more.
Celebrating across three Festival forums
The University of Sheffield's Festival of the Mind was organised across three forums: Spiegeltent, Futurecade and Protopia.
The forum for displays and debate at Festival of the Mind, the virtual Spiegeltent, showcased the brightest minds sharing their ideas through videos, podcasts, and live streaming. These covered topics such as climate change, extinction and health.
