SCIENCE CLUB MICRO-GALLERY

A Window into the Center

A special part of the Science Club is the exhibition space, which communicates directly with passers-by and invites the audience to join us. The Micro-gallery is a window into the Center for the Promotion of Science, where the scientific area in focus for the season is packed within 5 square meters. This is not just a showcase, it is a real interactive popular science installation which everyone can see, and often try out, run, or listen to. The Science Club Micro-gallery functions as a big welcome to our space.

Since the opening of the Science Club, the Micro-gallery has presented, among others, the exhibitions about Darwin's finches, lego robots which solve mathematical problems, science and art, and the dynamic planet Earth.

NETWORK OF SCIENCE CLUBS

Decentralizing science

ABOUT THE NETWORK

The CPN’S network of Science Clubs is spreading across 15 cities in Serbia. Out of these, 12 science clubs were opened in 2016. The first club opened in Leskovac on 5 April 2016, followed by Čačak, Niš, Užice, Knjaževac, Kragujevac, Smederevo, Kruševac, Kikinda, Novi Pazar, Kanjiža and Šabac. In 2017, the Science Club opened in Belgrade, and at the end of the same year, we had a new opening in the village of Ranovac near Smederevo. The last in a row of science clubs was opened in October 2018 in Gornji Milanovac.

Science clubs are situated on the premises of local vocational training centres, schools, kindergartens and libraries. Their network and the Center for the Promotion of Science, with the support of local governments, have thus jointly embarked on the activity of decentralizing the promotion of science.

THE CONCEPT

Science Club is a concept developed at the Center for the Promotion of Science. The first club worked at 5 Knez Mihailova Street in Belgrade, from 2013 to 2015.

These are spaces primarily intended for students, but also for scientists and all other science enthusiasts. One of the main tasks of the club is to connect all those who find science interesting and important, regardless of age, level of knowledge and area of interest. Club membership is voluntary, and it is free of charge for students, teachers and academics.

The membership is open to scientific institutes, faculties, formal and informal associations dealing with science and the promotion of science. With the agreement of the club coordinators, the space is available to all members on an equal footing including the lecture room, the area for workshops and courses, as well as the space for independent work and informal gatherings.

THE IDEA

The Science Club is conceived as a place to learn and acquire knowledge in an informal way, through workshops, lectures and many other activities. Each of the science clubs in the 15 cities follows the same design and mode of operation. Each has a workshop space, a library and a creative break area.

There is a popular science programme organized at science clubs - workshops, lectures, forums. Over the years, science clubs across the country have participated in events such as May Month of Mathematics, Researchers’ Night, Plant Intelligence. Not only that, but by connecting these institutions, a network has been created which brings together scientists, researchers, students, local governments, industry and media representatives across the country.

ABOUT THE SCIENCE CLUB

The CPN Science Club is a space where everyone interested in science and technology has an opportunity to meet, exchange experiences, discuss science topics and thus expand knowledge and perspectives. This is the venue for a wide variety of popular science events: debates, exhibitions, conferences, lectures, presentations, screenings, workshops, seminars, meetings and gatherings aimed at discussing science and technology topics. The club consists of a lecture hall (which is also a section for science workshops), a workshop section with tools and technology, and an informal corner for get-togethers and discussions. It is a space for students, scientists and engineers, parents and makers alike, for all science and technology enthusiasts.

THE LOCATION

One of the main tasks of the club is to connect all those who are fond of science regardless of age, level of knowledge and area of interest. The club space can be used by scientific institutes, faculties, formal and informal associations dealing with science and science promotion.

The Science Club is located in the heart of Belgrade, making it accessible to everyone. It is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and sound system for the lecture programme; it has 50 seats or 30 workshop places for students. Since 2018, the Science Club has also been the home of Makerspace, a programme for all those who want to get involved in the makers community, create something, share their knowledge or gain new insights, and meet people with similar affinities.

The CPN’s Science Club is located at 46 Kralja Petra Street.

Open Air Classrooms

SCIENCE PARKS

By 2019, the Center for the Promotion of Science, in collaboration with science clubs, teacher training centers and local governments, has opened 10 science parks across the country. These are classrooms, but also playgrounds, which the students and citizens in general have not had the opportunity to see in this region. Beneath the open sky, large exhibits speak and teach citizens about mathematics, biology, chemistry, architecture, physics, psychology, history and various other sciences. These parks are used differently by parents, teachers, students and preschoolers. Each of them learns something new in their own way and tests their previous knowledge through play - and fun.
