How should a science centre fit into the centre of a city? How should it cooperate with municipal authorities and local communities? And how should it use the surrounding public spaces? Jelena Filipaj will try to answer these questions from the AQUIS (Zagreb, Croatia) point of view of project management and setting up a new science centre. Pilvi Kolk from AHHAA in Tartu, Estonia, will share the experience of organizing traffic, being visible and making the city more attractive for tourists. Aleksandra Drecun will talk about the activities of the Center for the Promotion of Science which often take place in central Belgrade, Serbia. Lorna Williams from Thinktank will talk about encouraging local communities into their city centre’s Science Garden and negotiating operational decisions to satisfy stakeholders.
