Public Call for Artists – Science and Art on Science Open Days

MINISTRY OF SCIENCE
Announces

A PUBLIC CALL
For participation of artists in presenting the results of scientific research projects financed from the state budget at the “Science Open Days” Festival


General information:

Within the “Science Open Days” Festival, which will take place on 9–11 October 2017, the Ministry of Science intends to carry out an activity of promoting projects financed through the INVO / HERIC programme from the state budget and through the World Bank loan.

Relying on the global practice, with a view to include artists in the promotion of science for the general public, we intend to include artists from Montenegro in the promotion of projects, in order to communicate the scientific results and intended messages to the audience in a more effective, clear and recognizable manner. Presentations of projects would be mediated through art, using some of the artistic media - photography, graphic design, drawing, text, performance, installation, movement, sound, film.

This approach of cooperation between science and art is also the dominant theme of this year’s festival, and the central event will be Art@CMS, which will mark the inclusion of Montenegro in the CMS experiment in CERN.

Details of the projects for whose presentation the public call is made can be found in the Annex.
