Falling Walls Engage Hub Sweden

BRINGING TOGETHER SWEDISH AND INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND ENGAGEMENT NETWORKS

Science Engagement is understood and practiced very differently in each context. The Falling Walls Engage Hub Sweden connects Nordic Science Engagement and international practitioners with the aim of fostering knowledge-exchange and facilitating new collaborations. The network is coordinated by Vetenskap & Allmänhet (VA), a Swedish non-profit organisation aiming at promoting dialogue and openness between researchers and the public located in Stockholm.

The Falling Walls Engage Hub Sweden brings together participants not only from Sweden but also across the Nordic and Baltic countries.
