The event block and exhibition sector called “The Science Encounters”, featuring academic publishers and a rich program, will be under the patronage and with involvement of Radio Katowice, the Silesian Museum and the Silesian Library. At The Katowice Science Encounters, known to the audience from last year's Fair, academic publishers will present their offer, and in the Science Forum, prepared near the publishers' sector, meetings promoting various fields of knowledge will take place over three days. Prominent scientists and enthusiasts will participate, including those representing different fields of knowledge e.g. history, physics, geology, and dendrology.
The Science Encounters program will feature discussions prepared in collaboration with the Polish Radio Katowice, including a conversation with Professor Ryszard Koziołek on organizing a home library on Friday, and discussions on how to read rocks, smuggling in interwar Silesia, the role of trees in human salvation, and how antimatter works, among other topics on Saturday and Sunday. The Silesian Museum invites you to meetings with Maciej Mischok, who will share the fascinating history of the Palace in Kopice, and with Professor Irma Kozina on the most interesting and recognizable examples of Upper Silesian architecture. Additionally, the Science Encounters program will include a series of events organized by the Institute of National Remembrance in Poland.
