In mid November, the Institute of Geology participated in the 19th year of the Week of Science and Technology of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The all-time highest number of visitors, i.e., 220 guests, attended the traditional tours of selected laboratories within the Open Door Days. Most of them came from primary and secondary schools outside Prague. Those showing active interest received gifts, such as mineral and fossil samples or small souvenirs provided by the Centre for Joint Activities of the Academy of Sciences.
Besides traditional visits, the Institute of Geology participated in an escape game called “Global Natural Disasters” organized by the Centre for Joint Activities of the CAS in cooperation with the Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals of the CAS. During the week, about 530 people, especially children, joined this game at the Institute of Geology. Some photos from the Week of Science and Technology at the Institute of Geology can be found here.
