On Friday, September 27, 2019, the Science Night was held all over the Czech Republic, an event for all science lovers and enthusiasts. This year was in the spirit of "Environmentally friendly".
On this day, the Faculty of Science opened its campuses in Kotlářská and Bohunice. Over 1,500 visitors arrived at Kotlářská and over 3,200 people interested in science, did not miss the program in Bohunice, where the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Sports Studies also had their activities.
The Faculty of Science has prepared a program for children and adults. In total, 55 activities could be visited, including chemical experiments, insect tasting, laboratory visits, gold panning, and volcano eruptions. The activities aimed to bring science closer to the general public and to educate visitors following the theme "Environmentally friendly". The interest of visitors in science was huge.
We would like to thanks all the organizers of the event for their determination to show the best of their field, as well as to all visitors who came this evening. Thank you very much.
