Týden vědy a techniky 2011 - Science and Technology Week 2011
Týden vědy a techniky (TVT) je nejrozsáhlejší vědecký festival v České republice. Koná se každoročně v měsíci listopadu a v roce 2010 proběhl již v pořadí 10. ročník. Široká veřejnost a především studenti středních škol mají možnost nahlédnout do nejrůznějších laboratoří a knihoven a poznat, jak se dělá věda. Badatelé z výzkumných pracovišť AV ČR připravují širokou nabídku exkurzí, přednášek, výstav a diskusních večerů, ve kterých představují své výzkumné projekty, předvádějí nejmodernější vědecké přístroje a experimenty a přibližují návštěvníkům nejnovější trendy v oblasti vědy.
Science and Technology Week is the most extensive scientific festival in the Czech Republic, organized by Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ASCR). It takes place each year at the beginning of November and it is going to be already the 11th annual event in 2011. Students and teachers at secondary schools as well as the wider public have the opportunity to look into many research workplaces, laboratories and libraries and learn ‘how science is done’.
