One of the main intentions of the Experyment Science Centre is to co-create a friendly environment for development and acquiring knowledge. One of the activities that we happily undertake as part of this mission is cooperation with other domestic and foreign institutions and centers, both cultural, scientific and touristic. We participate in the work of the international ECSITE organization and the nationwide organization SPiN. Together with other municipal institutions, we implement the UNESCO – Gdynia learning city program. We actively participate in other projects whose principles are consistent with our statutory goals.

Science Inspired
Science Inspired is an international project created by science centers from Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Greece. Its purpose is to increase the interest and participation of young people in the offer of science centers, inspire them to take on scientific challenges and implement their own projects. As part of Science Inspired program, study visits were carried out at each of the cooperating centers. Educators and teachers had the opportunity to exchange knowledge, experience and good practices. The project resulted in the creation of innovative methods and tools based on new technologies, whose task is to explain scientific issues, inspire to experiment and develop creativity. Additionally, members created an educational platform, on which the content and of the project are published, as well as inspirations for teachers and young people.
