Is science a public activity? What does it mean for science to be public? Who can and should be involved, for what purposes, and under which conditions? The Public Science Lab is an experimental research infrastructure that explores different ways to open science to broader publics.

The launch event will highlight the four facets of the Public Science Lab: initiatives in Research, Teaching, Art-Science, and Policy. We invite you to join us in conversation and collaborative thinking. There will be an introduction to the lab, discussion around core themes, and a range of exhibition stands for related projects. We invite you to join us in conversation and collaborative thinking.
