Objectives

A science café is an opportunity for an audience to engage with scientists outside of a formal situation, such as in a lecture theatre or laboratory, and meet in the comfortable, informal atmosphere such as in a café , or in another informal setting where refreshments are available. Citizens can exchange with the expert(s) and learn something about the work they do and are encouraged to ask critical questions. The goal of these event types is to create a vivid dialogue and interaction between the experts and the public so that both gain new perspectives.

Content
