Collaboration among several science centres, exchanging know-how, following up recent evolutions. Several umbrella organisations representing science centres make it all possible.
Technopolis is a member of these organisations:
These science centre associations regularly organise seminars and workshops where members pore over the problems of popularising science. They are excellent platforms for exchanging experiences. The umbrella associations also act as intermediaries for the exchange of interactive exhibits, exhibitions and even staff. |
