Following the great success of last year’s inaugural “2019 sCYence Fair”, the Cyprus Institute organizes the follow-up “2020 sCYence Fair” on 3-4 April 2020, under the auspices of the Minister of Education, Culture, Sport and Youth. The event will take place at The Cyprus Institute’s premises in Athalassa, and is open to all school science groups, ages 9 -18, from both the private and public sectors. More than one team can participate from the same school with a different presentation.
“sCYence Fair” aims to stimulate scientific interest and to encourage participation by young students and support the next generation of scientists from Cyprus. The event provides an opportunity of our young scientists to increase their awareness of the wonders of science, add to their knowledge, and broaden their scientific horizons. Students will get the chance to demonstrate their scientific projects to the public and will get a chance to tour The Cyprus Institute’s facilities, attend related lectures, and enter a contest for the best presentation.
Visitors will have the opportunity to explore scientific and technological advancements in an entertaining, innovative and interactive manner, with free conferences and hands-on activities. At the same time, researchers, distinguished scientists and educators will do their best to communicate science and indulge visitors to participate. Last but not least, “sCYence Fair” will show to people from all ages and backgrounds that science is not only about knowledge, but can also be recreational and fun.
