Integration of the community of Polish science festival organisers, exchange of experiences and good practices related to preparation of such events, as well as signature of a letter of intent on the establishment of cooperation network called the “Agreement of Polish Science Festival Organisers in Poland” were the main goals of the 1st Forum of Polish Science Festival Organisers, which took place on 27 and 28 January 2020 in Katowice.
The meeting, initiated by the University of Silesia in Katowice and co-organised by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, was attended by representatives of both domestic and foreign popular science initiatives. The forum was an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences related to different models of science festival organisation, promotion and social impact of such events.
