Designing spaces to communicate, share and affect science

How should spaces for interaction and open science be designed in order to welcome, encourage and engage visitors? Many major museums across Europe are undergoing major rebuilding processes in order to create spaces for communication, interaction and exchange, for open science and participation. In reaction to the "Fridays for future" movement these spaces should also be used for participatory societal engagement.

We want to share our thoughts, first experiences and design requirements and discuss them with you. We also want to see what we can learn from other viewpoints and approaches. Participants will get the opportunity to discuss how physical spaces can facilitate or hamper discussion and exchange of opinions.
