ZAGREB, 29 April (2022) - The Festival of Science, the most important and most comprehensive science popularisation event in Croatia, will be held in 37 cities across the country from 2 to 7 May, the organisers said on Thursday. 

This year the event will again be held live, its central theme being "Life".

The theme has been chosen as relevant due to the coronavirus pandemic that has raised many questions, among others, about the fragility of life, life values, and how science impacts the quality of life and how it can make it longer and better.

In Zagreb, most of the festival events will be taking place at the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum, where the opening ceremony will be held, as well as at seven other venues.

The Festival of Science has been organised by the universities of Split, Zagreb, Rijeka, Zadar and Osijek in cooperation with the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum and the British Council.

May 9, 2021 - The Festival of Science will take place from 10 to 15 May in a score of cities across Croatia with about a thousand participants who have prepared a wide range of different content that will bring science closer to the general public this year again, in conditions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

In recent years, the festival has proven to be one of the best programs to popularise the scientific community and science work.

This year again, many events are being prepared. They will be available free of charge, both those taking place online and live events, which will take place following epidemiological measures, the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum said last Wednesday.

Many Croatian universities, student associations, and individuals and associations for the popularisation of science have taken part in creating the attractive program.

The theme of this year's Festival of Science is "The Culture of Science. What is culture, and are we building a culture of science?"

All events will be available at: http://www.festivalznanosti.hr/2021/.

Given the epidemiological situation, the organizers tried to make most of the content available through the YouTube channels and Facebook profiles of the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum and the Festival of Science.

The Festival of Science has been organized in Croatia since 2003 to bring science closer to the public by reporting on activities and results in science, improving public perception of researchers, and motivating you, people, to research and gain new knowledge.

The Festival organizers are the universities in Split, Zagreb, Rijeka, Zadar, and Osijek, in cooperation with the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum and the British Council is held under the auspices of the Ministry of Science and Education.
