An exhibition that brings open science closer to the general public in an accessible and visually appealing way was on show at the Little Lodge in Koper and then on the Gallus Embankment in Ljubljana in the summer and autumn of 2025. It shows how open access to scientific content can stimulate innovation, build trust in science and enable more informed societal decisions.
Open science is science based on transparency, collaboration and sharing of scientific research results within the research community and with the general public. The aim of open science is to facilitate the exchange of information, increase the accessibility and impact of scientific knowledge, and thus enable faster and more efficient societal progress.
The KNOW project created an exhibition to show how the consortium partners are implementing the principles of open science: collaboration, transparency and knowledge sharing. The exhibition showcases selected Slovenian open science infrastructure, activities, tools and projects that enable better access to scientific content and the translation of knowledge into everyday life. It aims to show that science is not something distant or incomprehensible, but part of everyday life, influencing many fields.
The exhibition was on show at Mali Lod in Koper from 29 July to 18 August 2025, and at Gallus Embankment in Ljubljana from 28 August to 1 October 2025. The exhibition was produced in collaboration with the Municipality of Koper, Turizm Ljubljana and Art Design d.o.o.
Virtual posters from both exhibitions can now be viewed here.
