World Science Day marked in Podgorica

In cooperation with the Natural History Museum and the Centre for Protection and Research of Birds, the Ministry of Science of Montenegro marked the UNESCO’s World Science Day for Peace and Development on Monday, 11 November.

Groups of pupils from “Božidar Vuković Podgoričanin” Primary School and “Parents” association’s “Učionica Družionica” have visited the permanent exhibition of the Natural History Museum of Montenegro and the “Mareza Research Station” exhibition, organised by the Centre for Protection and Research of Birds of Montenegro.

This year’s World Science Day for Peace and Development was devoted to the theme of “Open Science”.

As a tool, open science makes science more accessible, opening scientific processes and making them more inclusive, while increasing access and opening science results to everyone. UNESCO’s World Science Day for Peace and Development aims to inform the citizens about science development through better integration of science and society. Furthermore, it emphasises the role played by the scientists in spreading our understanding of the planet on which we live and in making our society more sustainable.
