This year’s Bydgoszcz Science Festival will take place from 20 to 22 October. The Bydgoszcz Science Festival is a popular science event organised by five universities in Bydgoszcz: Kazimierz Wielki University, Bydgoszcz University of Technology, Collegium Medicum of Nicolaus Copernicus University, Higher School of Economy and Bydgoszcz Higher School.

The first day of the event is dedicated to all those who wish to peek into the usually inaccessible nooks and crannies of university laboratories. The science labs will host workshops, experiments, simulations, and experimental demonstrations. Scientists will introduce the fascinating world of science and open the doors of their laboratories.

The next two days have been planned at the Rother Mills Science and Culture Centre. Science enthusiasts will be able to take part in numerous lectures, workshops, talks, demonstrations, educational games, debates and visit stands prepared by the organisers and partners of the Festival.
