During the 2017 Conference of the European Society for Ecological Economics, the Sparks exhibition will open its gates to specific programs related to the event.
These are:
Guided visit for ESEE participants to the ‘Beyond the Lab: The DIY Science Revolution‘ exhibition
20th June, 15.00–16.00
Entitled ‘Beyond the Lab: The DIY Science Revolution’, the Sparks exhibition of everyday pioneers in science and innovation will open on the 20th of June. The exhibition will feature the stories of a growing number of ‘DIY scientists’ around the world who are busily hacking, experimenting, and inventing in the field of healthcare. The exhibition focuses on three areas of DIY science: Citizen Science, Health Hacking, and DIY Biology. Additionally, it also features three innovative artworks created by artists situated on the border of art, science, and technology. Presented in English and Hungarian.
This event is open to each conference participant without any further registration. After the welcoming speeches, a guided tour and a reception will follow.
