Scientific exhibitions

The National Research Council has gained unique experience in the design and construction of scientific exhibitions, exhibits and interactive installations, operating in a wide variety of themes and contexts.

Through these tools, important opportunities for cultural growth and updating are provided, bringing the scientific community closer to citizens - a mission, the latter, which falls within the statutory purposes of the Cnr - and contributing to the development of the "knowledge society".

The Cnr Communication Unit has a wealth of exhibitions differentiated by content, languages ​​and methodology of interaction. The interactive science exhibitions, in particular, with their 'hands-on' approach represent one of the most effective ways to involve the public of all ages, starting from the very young, towards scientific issues, subverting the idea of ​​science as a subject difficult or boring, and allowing you to discover phenomena that are found in many aspects of everyday life.

Easy to handle, many creations can be set up temporarily for events or specific dissemination initiatives organized in public and private bodies, institutions, cultural associations and foundations, as well as in open spaces and places of culture.
