We had saxophone solos with cicadas, and built a biolab that felt more like a friendly coffee shop (that just happened to also do DNA analysis).

Each exhibition brought together artists, scientists, designers and engineers, and invited visitors to be instrumental to the Science Gallery process. Whether participating in research experiments, chiming in on debates, or contributing to exhibitions, 2013 was a year of connecting and empowering our many communities around four fascinating themes.

Financial Sustainability In 2013, Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin announced a strategic award from Wellcome Trust worth €1.8m to support a partnership with the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute (TBSI) over the next five years up until 2018. The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation dedicated to achieving extraordinary improvements in human and animal health.

Speaking about the Science Gallery funding, Clare Matterson, Director of Medical Humanities and Engagement at the Wellcome Trust: “Since it opened, the Science Gallery has consistently presented challenging, creative and innovative exhibitions that bring science and technology to life. We look forward to supporting the gallery over its next five years and to... bringing its visitors even closer to real, live science."

2013 also saw two of Science Gallery's Science Circle members renew their support for the next five years, this committed annual funding is vital to the success of Science Gallery. Coupled with the development of touring programmes and the Global Science Gallery network, these developments in 2013 are laying the ground for the long term financial sustainability of the Gallery.
