Science Picnic

A wide range of research fields are represented at the Picnic, including the hard, natural, and social sciences together with the humanities.

Research and teaching institutions from Poland and abroad reveal here behind-the-scenes aspects of their work and present science in ways accessible to visitors of various ages, using hands-on experiments and interactive exhibits.

The event was moved to a larger public park in 2009 and then to the grounds of the newly constructed National Stadium in 2013.

Recent attendance varies between 100,000 and 120,000 people, with the exception of the blowout years of 2006 and 2013, when the Picnic received around 150,000 visitors.
