Interactive seminars / Adult’s Workshops: This workshop could have any theme which underlines science, technology and/or innovation or could focus on the scientist’s role and skills. (Themes in ASF 2023: STEM Education | STEM Career Counseling | Upskilling & Personal Profile | Career Guidance). The audience’s interactive participation is of utmost importance (Duration: 1 or 2 or 3 hours).

Art Exhibitions: Photography exhibitions, painting exhibitions, art installations, videos etc., highlighting scientific and/or technology topics, including the relation of science and arts.

Documentaries: Short and feature film screenings related to science, technology, innovation, nature, discoveries, etc.

Contests: An activity that involves some form of friendly competition. It may include a prize and may also be static in nature, or it may require movement, such as a scavenger hunt, treasure hunt, hide-and-seek, chess competition, robotics competition, and more.

Important notes:

Children’s Workshops, Adult’s Workshops, Science Theater  and Performances take place in specific time slots which are being set by the organisational team. In case you wish to repeat any of the above activities, the ASF team will have to evaluate your request; the possibility of a repetition will depend on time and venue availability. It is important to ensure that your participation requires minimum preparation, in order to secure a smooth transition from one activity to another. In case one participation requires a specific and time-consuming preparation, the organisational team needs to be informed ahead of time to examine the feasibility of the participation. 

Interactive Exhibits, Live Experiments, Art Exhibitions and any other activity which are not limited to a specific time slot and/or number of participants, will adhere the opening hours of ASF, which will be announced as soon as possible. 

Upon the verification of your application, any technical details will be discussed with the production team of ASF.

The rooms/halls dedicated for the Children’s Workshops and Adult’s Workshops include modern audio-visual equipment offered by the organizers (projector, speakers, microphones, laptop), as well as tables (if needed) and seats for the visitors of the Festival.
