Science and Innovation Days
The festival Science and Innovation Days, organized by the Ministry of Science and Technological Development, will be held from September 29 to October 2.
It aims to promote science and innovation among children, youth and the widest community, while also ensuring the platform and instigating numerous discussions among stakeholders on science and innovations related topics. The concept of innovations has been part of the festival for the first time and it reflects Montenegro's orientation towards smart specialization pursuit.
Key events building upon the smart specialization (S3) concept promotion will include the EC JRC conference and the Fair of innovative projects. The events will gather all key stakeholders – public administration, scientific and research community, economic entities – innovative companies and innovation infrastructure, civil sector, but also individuals – youth, students and startupers, to discuss the goals, achievements and challenges of S3 in Montenegro, and to promote innovations and present their contribution to the S3 development.
The festival involves various promotional events – presentations, round tables, demonstrations, experiments, exhibitions that celebrate scientific research in the attempt to enlarge the pool of those interested in scientific pursuit and oriented towards all population groups. During the most interesting events the visitors are offered the opportunity to learn about the achievements of the CERN Hadron Collider, listen to the CERN music band blues and R&B concert, attend demonstrations of chemistry, biology and technology, learn about the application of underwater sensor networks, work on 3D modelling, scanning and printing, learn about earthquakes, meet the biodiversity of the Adriatic Sea in the Aquarium, and embark on to the magic scientfic world through the European Researchers’ Night.
The workshops in programming languages, video games development and robotics will be organized throughout Montenegro, while the glimpse into the world of nature are ensured both in museum-based environment and outdoor as well. The presentations and open door events promoting blockchain, artificial intelligence, drone and sensor technologies, as well as the interactive demonstration of the state-of-art drone technologies and VR solutions are the specialty of the festival.
The exhibitions will involve the electro-magnetic spectrum, mathematics and nature, revival of ancient archaeological localities via modern media, while the artists inspired by the science will exhibit their works and installations throughout Montenegrin cities.
The Science and Innovation Days festival is being held in 11 municipalities in Montenegro. It welcomes all people, disregard their age, previous knowledge in science, or interests. It is the great opportunity to learn, to discover, to invent, and hopefully leave everyone inspired in science and innovations.
