We organise the biggest science communication events in the Czech Republic as well as numerous public lectures, exhibitions, etc.

We offer a range of marketing and production services to support the CAS’s research institutes’ own outreach activities. We organise the main umbrella events for the Academy as a whole and provide a platform that supports and brings together science communicators from across the Academy.

The CAS Week of Science and Technology

We run the biggest science festival in the Czech Republic, attracting tens of thousands of visitors every year. The festival features talks, exhibitions, open days, documentary film screenings, workshops, science cafés and other activities across the full range of scientific fields and at locations throughout the country.

The CAS Science Fair

We organise the biggest public outreach event in the Czech Republic, in the form of a fair at which the CAS institutes present their activities. The fair is held at the PVA EXPO in Letňany, Prague, and attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year. Alongside the Academy’s institutes, the fair’s exhibitors include science centres, museums and science and technology companies.

The Open Science project focuses on raising interest in research among young people. We organise internships for talented students at CAS workplaces, and demonstrate botany, chemistry and physics experiments to teachers so that they can use them in the classroom. We run specialist talks, excursions, exhibitions and other events for researchers and the general public. We teach researchers and public outreach staff how to communicate with the media. The Science Fair and a series of short educational films known as NEZkreslená věda [UNgarbled science] are also part of the Open Science initiative.
