The EClub, the active networking club based at the University of Edinburgh Business School, is delighted to host Simon as part of our Fringe series. After obtaining his PhD at the University of Edinburgh, Simon joined the Edinburgh International Science Festival in 1990 and a year later established the now highly popular Schools Touring Programme which in 2009/10 toured to 60,000 pupils across Scotland. He became Festival Director in 1994 and has established the Festival as a growing enterprise that has an international reputation.
