Activities focus on the general public, particularly by addressing and attracting people - with a special focus on pupils and primary school students - regardless of the level of their scientific background.
Activities can be combined with entertainment, especially when addressing younger audiences. Activities can take several forms; for example: hands-on experiments, science demonstrations, simulations, discussions, games, competitions, quizzes, etc. The European Parliament and Council set 2018 as the ’European Cultural Heritage Year Avrupa. As a result, the applicants are encouraged to include activities related to cultural heritage - where appropriate - in their activities.
Where appropriate, it should be tried to contact educational institutions to encourage formal education and informal science education in order to improve the scientific knowledge base.
