Donate exhibitions to Ukraine

Ecsite is happy to announce our new partnership with the Simons Foundation which will build on the efforts already made by the Ecsite community to support science engagement in Ukraine. This collaboration will span the year of 2024 and will include the donation of 5 exhibitions (or exhibits) to Ukrainian science centres, the training of 15 science engagement professionals from Ukraine at the 2024 Ecsite Conference and a one-week training for 5 science engagement professionals from Ukraine at Copernicus Science Centre.

Therefore, Ecsite invites its members to donate a maximum of 5 exhibitions (or exhibits) to Ukrainian science centres and museums in support of science engagement during the war. This project will be conducted in collaboration with Ecsite member, Junior Academy of Sciences Ukraine (JASU), who will be selecting the exhibitions.

Deadline for expressions of interest: 1 March 2024

We would also like to extend our gratitude to our community for the work they have done and continue to do to help Ukraine.

Please read the following stipulations:

  • Transport costs will be covered and logistics and shipping will be organised by Ecsite & JASU, however, some paperwork will be needed from the donating organisation.

  • There will be interviews and campaigns published in various Ecsite communication avenues (social media, website and newsletters) to spotlight this project as well as the members involved.

  • The exhibition should be science engagement related.

  • Exhibitions that do not need electricity, or need little electricity, are preferable due to the instability of the electricity grid in Ukraine at the moment, however, exhibitions with electricity are welcome too.

  • Please note: this exhibition is a donation, there is no possibility of returning the exhibition and no payment will be made to the donating organisation.

  • The donations must arrive in Ukraine by the end of 2024.
