project goals
ERC=Science2 is a pan-European communication campaign aimed at popularising scientific achievements that are most significant from a social standpoint. Its purpose is to spark interest in science, promote landmark scientific breakthroughs, support scientists, and inspire a new generation of researchers and discoverers to persistently search for truth and pursue research in all fields of science.

results
The project gathers eight European institutions under the leadership of the ECSITE European Network of Science Centres and Museums. The institutions have prepared over 75 interdisciplinary events at universities, museums, science centres and research institutions. EXPERIMENT Science Centre joined the project by engaging in broad social promotion of the pioneering, ERC-funded research. We chose two main themes and presented them to the public in an attractive and engaging form.
