Due to its expert nature, ICRI has been historically
aninvitation-only event. However, this year, we decided right from
the start: „Let‘smake it open.“ This ambition has manifested
itself in the form of the Citizen programme. This way, we want to
show the wider public how science happens and that it‘s happening
all around them, often influencing their everyday lives. Thanks to
the amazing work of our partners – Brno Observatory and
Planetarium, VIDA! science centrum and Science Party – and the
ICRI 2022 delegates who have accepted this challenge, we can
introduce you the Citizen programme!
VIDA! After Dark: Light It Up
18
October, Tuesday, 19:00
VIDA! science center Brno, Křížkovského

Do you want to have a glowing drink, sneak through
the laser maze, and meet scientists from a top research centre? You
can fit all of these cool activities in a single October night if
you come to VIDA! science center for another After Dark event called
„Light It Up!“ We will enlighten you on everything that is unclear
and make your eyes sparkle with surprise! You can visit our Light
Laboratory, learn about luminescence in various forms, make your own
pocket laser and take the unique opportunity to meet Allen Weeks and
Andrew Harrison, the scientists from the ELI Beamlines research
center – the place with the most intense beamline systems worldwide.
Enjoy the laser maze brought by the Amazing Theatre of Physics.

Three world-class experts, one extraordinary
night. Come and meet those who move the stars and the universe:

Observatory, Nicolaus Hanowski from the European Space Agency, and
Adrian Tiplady from the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory.
Space scientists represent the organisations at the forefront of
near and distant space exploration. How is it done? What do we know
about space? And what is yet to be found out? And how is the Czech
republic contributing to international space research? Don‘t miss
the opportunity to meet the real stars of the stars!

Science
Party Brno is a bunch of science enthusiasts guided by the motto
„Serious Topic + Fun = Serious Fun“. Festivals. Meetings. Parties.
Lectures. That‘s what they do. And that‘s what they will do during
the ICRI 2022 days. So come and join this unique Science Afternoon
Party in the cosy cocktail bar 4pokoje in the Brno city centre and
have a chat in the informal setting about the top-class science,
maybe over a glass of drink of your choice. Among those joining us
will be the CERN delegate Vojtěch Pleskot, the Egyptian physicist
Gihan Kamel of synchrotron SESAME (which is basically a
middle-eastern CERN) and the Australian ecologist, biologist and
mathematician Hugh Possingham, aka the man with the plan how to save
the Great Barrier Reef (and the planet Earth in general along the
way).
