About the Festival of Research

The Festival of Research is an annual national event intended to arouse public interest in and enhance public understanding of the methods, processes, and outcome of research and science.

Researchers, research institutions, and research-based enterprises are encouraged to tell the general public about their current activities in an exciting and untraditional way.

The Danish Agency for Science, Technology, and Innovation is responsible for the overall coordination of the Festival of Research activities as well as of the opening ceremony.

Several municipalities throughout the country are in charge of coordinating Festival of Research activities locally.

Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary is patroness of the Festival of Research.

The next Festival of Research is the 19th., 20th. and 21st. of April 2012.
