South East Europe is the home region of many scientists and world-famous minds who have contributed to modern development. It could also be a centre of modern innovation just by increasing public awareness on the importance of natural sciences, technological progress and innovation.

How can we communicate science without physically having a science centre? What about the persuading policymakers of the value of science centres? How can small science centres have a big impact?

Science communicators and project managers from Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia will present their experiences and approaches in building up the science communication scene in their countries. Also, on behalf of the SEE science project, one speaker will present examples in promoting innovation in and through science centres, for example establishing local/regional partnerships with strategic stakeholders, testing innovative services, etc.
