The New Zealand International Science Festival will return with it's smaller, more compact NanoFest in 2026. Mark your calendars for 15-19 July! Please note that the festival will run during the second week of the July school holidays, which is a bit of a change from usual. But you can still expect days packed with science events and hands-on activities for all ages.
