Every year approximately 100 local organisers arrange different events across Denmark during the Danish Science Festival. These are primarily universities, education- and cultural institutions, private and public institutions as well as research associations. However, everyone with feasible ideas and a suitable location qualifies as an organiser.  

What takes place during the festival?

Visitors can experience all kinds developed with the vision of communicating research and innovation in an interesting, captivating and accessible manner. The most popular happenings include open house events, hands-on experiments, lectures, guided tours, shows, and debates. As an example, Book a Scientist is one of the most popular programmes of the festival.
“Book a Scientist” is a programme where groups of at least 20 persons can order a researcher to give a lecture within their area of specialisation during the festival week. The lectures are free of charge.
