Connecting Science to Society

What is science? What problems does it solve? How does scientific thought move from theory and experiment to practical application? How are experiments conducted? What scientific institutions exist in Armenia?

The answers to these and many other questions will be found in the first thematic section of the Science Festival. On October 1-2, festival visitors will see that science is everywhere and that scientific thought and outcomes are closely connected to our daily lives.

Through experiments, interactions with scientists, exhibitions, and discussions, visitors will learn which disciplines address which issues, how scientific thought has developed, what science is being done in Armenia, and how the world and science interact with each other.

By familiarising themselves with the latest scientific and technological achievements, engaging with scientists and engineers, and participating in experiments, visitors will see how scientists and engineers are improving the world around us and our lives.

To make science appealing to children and young people and to support them in choosing a future profession, the Science Festival will bring together scientific institutes and universities on October 3-4.

- Why become a physicist or chemist?

- What makes neurophysiology interesting?

- What fascinating phenomena do astronomers deal with?

- How can a mathematician gain skills in artificial intelligence?

- Why is a research foundation important for becoming a good specialist?

Which university or institute should one study at?

The Career Orientation thematic section of the Science Festival will become a platform where children and young people will receive answers to these and other questions.

In times when people had vague ideas about the Universe, dreamers flew to the Moon in their creations.

Science fiction is one of the sources that inspire scientists and engineers on the path to turning the imaginary into reality. Many scientific and technological achievements have also been realised thanks to the inspiration drawn from these dreams.

On October 5-6, the Science Festival will be dedicated to science fiction, from literature to cinema, comics to art.

Freedom Square will become a fantastic planet where you will see your favourite heroes, hear amazing stories, and participate in various competitions.

Alongside the three thematic sections of the Science Festival, our central pavilion will host masterclasses, discussions, lectures, and seminars throughout all six days.
