- Unbookable non-stop activity, Smaller than workshop, surface area varies, furnishing one table and two chairs, at least one wall.
SciFest is science festival with a wide range of workshops, shows, competitions, researcher meet and greets, and lectures. Since 2020, the festival is co-organised by Uppsala University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. On Thursday and Friday, school classes are welcome. Saturday is open to anyone
Here, curious people of all ages get a taste of the research being conducted, with laboratory work, current research questions and hands-on activities. SciFest wants to give children and school pupils the opportunity to discover just how much fun science is, and hopefully be able to sow a seed that leads young people to become interested in studying it more and maybe even become researchers.
Over all the years that the festival has been organised, SciFest has gathered almost 8,000 curious visitors over the three festival days. SciFest exhibitors come from schools, universities, companies, authorities, museums and organisations. The first days of the festival are dedicated to school pupils and teachers. On the final day, SciFest opens its doors to the public.
Do you have questions or want to exchange ideas?
The SciFest team is happy to help you! We involve both exhibition educators and communicators. Together we can work out an activity that suits your research at an early stage.
