All lectures aroused great interest. They were hold in the new conference hall at the Neurobiology Center of the Nencki Institute.

Nencki participated also in the LITTLE FOLKS FESTIVAL organised in cooperation with the Faculty of Physics at the Warsaw University of Technology. Nencki PhD candidates set up a Biology Preschool which was popular among children and acclaimed by their parents. Preschool workshops combined the elements of experimental biology and great fun. Kids concocted “magic elixirs” and by themselves handled a microscope connected to a computer.

The events during Science Festival at the Nencki were partially founded by EU FP7 BIO-IMAGINE: BIO-IMAGing in research INnovation and Education, GA no. 264173.

Nencki’s contribution to the 17th Science Festival has been coordinated and supervised by Anna Wasik.
