SciDip Trivia Night for World Science Day!

UNESCO has announced that the 2020 theme of World Science Day for Peace and Development next week is Science for and with Society.

InsSciDE therefore invites every participant of society, whether out of a newfound curiosity or as a contender for the trivia throne, to come test their knowledge in the crosscutting field of science diplomacy during our SciDip Trivia Night on 12 November at 18-19h CET!

Scroll to the bottom to register.

Get your SciDip buddies together or recruit new ones to build a Trivia Team and get ready to venture into the depths of the history, present and disputed territories of science diplomacy in an evening of competition, teamwork and fun. Hint for assembling your team, as always, strength lies in diversity!

Under the vast umbrella of science diplomacy, the trivia night will traverse themes explored in InsSciDE’s research – heritage, health, security, environment, space – with questions related to recent and historical events and science diplomacy concepts and famous projects.
