Based at the Science Museum in London, UK, the Dana Centre is a public space for young adults that brings science, technology, and cultural topics to life through a continuous programme of innovative events. With state-of-the-art technology, it is a place for discussion, debate, information, and entertainment.

EDAB sponsors a number of public events at the Centre throughout the year as a way to promote dialogue between scientists and society. EDAB also collaborates on specific events with The Science Museum and the British Association for the Advancement of Science, which also host independent events.

The Centre is part of the Wellcome Wolfson Building, supported by four principal donors: the Wellcome Trust; the Wolfson Foundation; the Dana Foundation; and the Garfield Weston Foundation. The Wellcome Wolfson Building houses the UK offices of EDAB.
