Ideas that can
change everything.

Spend two weeks in March with dozens of world-changing ideas worth exploring at UVic's second ever IdeaFest.

Whether you're a science lover, a linguist, a gamer, an art history fan (or something else entirely) this festival is a brilliant opportunity to have your curiosity piqued by researchers, scholars and artists that help make the world a bit more interesting - and a little bit better tomorrow - for everyone.

With over 50 free events in the schedule, the hardest part will be figuring out which great idea to start with.
