Welcome to Headingley Café Scientifique!
Cafe Scientifique
Cafe Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Meetings take place around the world in cafes, bars, restaurants and even theatres, but always outside a traditional academic context.

The events are very popular with lively discussion and informative talks. Topics are always relevant, cutting edge and up-to-date. They are often taken from a wider global discussion.
You can also get a drink at the bar at the interval or after the meeting.
All are welcome. The Café is held at The New Headingley Club on St Michael’s Road.
