This session focuses on the role science centres have played until now and will address the challenging question of how current results could be further improved. Awakening vocations will for example be the primary mission of the future Luxembourg Science Center poised to open in 2016.

Panellists from the United States and Europe will review current studies and experiences. In addition, the panel will examine new methodologies aimed at awakening scientific and 21st century economy related studies and careers among youngsters.
