Billed as “Europe’s biggest outdoor celebration of science,” Polish Radio’s Science Picnic is organised in partnership with Warsaw's Copernicus Science Centre.
This year’s edition will be held on June 15, giving the audience a chance to explore science from every angle during a free open-air event.
The 2024 Science Picnic, held under the motto "Unbelievable," will be an opportunity to meet scientists, attend presentations, shows and workshops, and learn while having fun, according to the organisers.
Many of the picnic’s activities will be focused on showcasing various milestones in the history of science.
"In line with this year's theme, we will present the most spectacular, astonishing scientific discoveries, experiments and shows with the wow factor, so there will be a lot going on," said Katarzyna Nowicka, a spokeswoman for the Copernicus Science Centre.
"This year, there will also be new attractions, such as a special 'Creativity Zone,' where shows and experiments at the intersection of science and art will take place," she added.
Nearly 120 exhibitors, including research institutes, universities and businesses involved in science and education, are expected to attend this year's event, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency has reported.
