NOESIS Foundation – The Cafe of Science
Science Center and Technology Museum – NOESIS Non-profit cultural and training foundation located in Thessaloniki
Series of informal lectures in which there is an open dialogue between scientists and the general public in different themes related to science. The event takes place every month and the thematic area is related with a scientific subject (related with either Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Ecology, Geology, Environmental Science etc). Two recent events were related to the use of biofuels (April 2010) and with the presence of particulate matter in the air of Thessaloniki (March 2010).
The initiative aims at bringing the world of science closer to the general public.
General public (adults).
Open dialogue between scientists and general public in a relaxed atmosphere (over coffee).
The event has mostly local impact (the area of Thessaloniki)
The lectures present increasing demand and are attended by a minimum of 50 adults each time.
The event uses a winner formula for scientific dissemination, however no systematic evaluation of its success is available.
