Become a Volunteer
No matter how old you are, what your educational background is, or what your professional experience entails - the only real requirement for becoming a volunteer is curiosity. Behind the scenes of a major science festival, we need all kinds of talent. We’re looking for students eager to gain hands-on experience, professionals who want to put their skills to work for the community, and retirees who are eager to get back in the game. Bring your passion to the festival’s workshops, lectures, and performances. We firmly believe that dialogue between different generations is the spark that ignites true cultural exchange. Each person, with their own experiences and story, brings a unique and irreplaceable value.
Join us and help make our events a success. You’ll have the opportunity to experience science firsthand and make a difference in science communication. Your passion is our energy!
