Naukas Passion
The doors of the Victoria Eugenia Theatre will be wide open to the humour and scepticism of Naukas Passion, with the participation of acclaimed popular science figures and communicators from the Naukas platform. The event is organised in collaboration with the Chair of Scientific Culture of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU).
Using a dynamic format of short talks that include various surprises and make scientific outreach both funny and entertaining, some of the Naukas platform’s top speakers will be coming up onto the stage to share their unique outlook on a diverse range of scientific issues. The sessions will be held directly after the keynote addresses throughout the festival week.
Entry to all public sessions, including Naukas Passion, will be open and free of charge until the venue is full, although prior registration is recommended.
Talks will be in Spanish and there will be a simultaneous interpreting service into both Basque and English.
