Science means working in laboratories, conducting fieldwork, presenting at conferences and writing research papers. But science is also about the joy of discovery, questions and surprises that can be shared with everyone.
The Estonian University of Life Sciences invites you to discover and experience science through a variety of events that bring researchers and their work closer to everyday life.
Here you can find events and initiatives that present science and the work of our researchers in a clear and accessible way.
We also showcase our research at various public events. For example, we contribute to the programmes of the Loodusloovus Festival and Forest Day. Through the Engineering Academy initiative, our engineering students regularly visit schools to introduce young people to careers in engineering.
