After the success of the first two editions we are proud to organize the third *INSPIRE* (INternational » Science Performance Is Ready« Event). Participants will learn how to: choose a topic for the Science Show; start planning a Science Show; add humour without being silly; avoid mistakes and traps; create contact with the public; act in front of the public; communicate science.
After the success of the first edition we are proud to organize the second INSPIRE (INternational »Science Performance Is Ready« Event).
The Planetarium Science Center is organizing the Midyear Program for students of ages 4 – 16 years old, during the period 26 January to 6 February 2014. Online registration at the PSC website: http://wwwhttp://www.bibalex.org/psc/midyear, during the period 5 – 9 January 2014, or till all places reserved.
The program comprises a group of various activities as practical experiments, scientific contests, lectures, Planetarium and Auditorium shows.
International Masterclasses are organized by IPPOG, the International Particle Physics Outreach Group and the Planetarium Science Center, at the third and forth floating rooms in the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Conferences Center. Each Masterclass is a one-day-activity taking place at a university or research institute. Researchers invite High school students, aged 16 – 19 and let them be scientists for one day. The core activity is a measurement with real data from CERN, provided by the experiments ATLAS, CMS, and ALICE, see: http://physicsmasterclasses.org/neu/index.php?cat=physics.
INSPIRE (INternational “Science Performance Is Ready” Event)
During the five day workshop, participants will very actively learn how to: choose a topic for the science show, start planning a science show, add humour without being silly, avoid mistakes and traps, engage audience in active participation, develop acting skills needed for successful performance, communicate Science.
This year Ljubljana Science Festival – Sciencetival will partly overlap with the INSPIRE workshop providing a perfect environment for the participants to test their learned skills in front of public.
The Planetarium Science Center at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina is hosting the “ Think Green” program to help in the environmental education of the children and youth.
the PSC Summer Program includes a unique workshop about the secrets of the legendary ancient Egyptians.In the first part, children learn the mummification process using a human model, know the chemical materials used during the process and make a canopy jars.

ARphymedes, an acronym for AR Physics Made for Students, resembles the name of probably the most famous physicist in history, Archimedes. Stories about this genius remind us that humankind will be nothing without the dreamers. We should give kids the opportunity to explore their dreams, and AR (augmented reality) is one way to do so.
From 3 to 9 December 2023, Universcience organised, in partnership with the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs and in scientific partnership with the French National Institute for Sport, Expertise and Performance (INSEP), the fourth edition of the residency for young international scientific talent, dedicated to the theme of "sport & science" for this Olympic year. This residency was officially certified “Cultural Olympiad” by Paris 2024.
