Science Comes To Town

Science Comes To Town is a leading European project that connects three cities—Kiel, Brest, and Split with over 70 associated partners. The project provides an extensive scientific program over 365 days, including science festivals, contests, and educational events, with the primary purpose of strengthening the connection between science and society. Focus is placed on marine protection, cultural heritage preservation, youth development, and science awareness. Science Comes To Town will improve community bonds, encourage young scientists, and promote a common European identity through science. This project stands out since it encourages long-term partnerships, improves scientific interaction, and strengthens city cooperation.

The Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, in collaboration with the City of Split, the University of Split, the Split-Dalmatia County Center of Excellence, and a number of partner institutions, will organize a year-round program of events. Although numerous fields of science will be represented, the Institute’s scientists will devote special attention to the sea as one of the most important natural resources.
