Podlasie Festival of Science and Arts – we will fire your imagination!

The region’s biggest event promoting science and art is coming up! For the 18th time, Podlasie universities invite the region’s residents and tourists to learn together about science, technology, medicine, nature, humanities and social sciences.
 
The Podlasie Festival of Science and Arts will begin on 7 May and will last until 13 May, offering several hundred different events!

Festival events will be held in Białystok, Łomża and Suwałki. The audience will have a chance to participate in various events: shows, lectures, workshops, presentations, concerts and performances. There will also be an opportunity to get to know from behind the scenes places that are normally inaccessible – scientific laboratories and workshops of scientists and artists. The biggest event of the Festival, the Family Science Picnic, will be held on Sunday, 8 May at the Municipal Stadium in Bialystok.

The festival is aimed at audiences of all ages. In the wide-ranging programme of the event you will find activities for school children and students, as well as preschoolers and the elderly. What counts is curiosity about the world and imagination! As the Festival’s slogan and Albert Einstein’s quotation emphasises, it will take you everywhere.

Registration for the events of the 18th Podlasie Festival of Science and Arts is open until 30 April. Register here: podlaskifestiwal.pl
