The story

Science Festival Gothenburg in Gothenburg

Science Festival Gothenburg turns current research questions into public experiments and talks, with schools, laboratories, and cultural venues across the city sharing hands-on inquiry rather than passive lectures. Audiences are encouraged to test claims through questions rather than simply watching, giving the festival a genuinely participatory feel.

Researchers at Science Festival Gothenburg turn current research questions into experiments and talks that the public can engage with directly, rather than delivering polished conclusions from a stage.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's value comes from making science genuinely hands-on rather than a series of expert lectures

02

The mystery stays covered

Researchers turn current questions into civic experiments and talks that audiences can directly engage with, and schools, laboratories, and cultural venues across Gothenburg open their doors to share that inquiry rather than confining it to specialist spaces

03

The city starts moving

Because the format actively invites audiences to test claims through questions instead of passive spectacle, the festival treats the public as participants in scientific reasoning rather than an audience receiving conclusions
