More information

A unique look behind the scenes

During the Weekend of Science, visitors get a unique look behind the scenes at organizations and are allowed to go to places that are normally not visible to the public. They meet real scientists. See restorers at work in a museum. And do experiments in laboratories.

For everyone

The Weekend of Science is suitable for (almost) all ages. The focus is on families with children between 8 and 14 years old, but everyone can discover for themselves what the wonderful world of science and technology has to offer.

Q&A sessions

Every month, the Weekend of Science organizes a free online Q&A session. These sessions are mainly for organizations that have not participated before, new employees at a participating organization or for organizations that have not participated for a few years. During these sessions you will hear, among other things, in what ways you can participate, how you can participate as a “Hotspot” and what support you can expect from us. There are also two sessions specifically about marketing and PR.

Do you have questions about your participation and are you looking for more information? Then sign up for a Q&A session.
