The 17th edition of the largest regional Science Festival will be held from December 12 to 14, 2024, at the Belgrade Fair, in halls 3 and 3a. This year’s festival centers around the theme “The Evolution of Ideas,” a concept that highlights the continuous process of transformation and development of scientific thoughts and theories over time.

Science is a discipline that is constantly evolving. New scientific fields emerge while others fade, and scientific theories are developed and modified. At the 17th Science Festival, we will explore how these changes occur, what they reveal about the dynamic nature of science, and what they mean for all of us.

Participants in the Science Festival can include faculties, institutions, associations, and individuals from Serbia and abroad, as well as companies whose work and presentation align with this year’s festival theme – “The Evolution of Ideas.” Various program formats are welcome, including workshops, interactive presentations, exhibitions, stage performances, children’s programs, or engaging lectures.
