Ig Nobel Prize winners at Belgrade Science Festival
BELGRADE - This year's Science Festival will be held in Belgrade December 4-7, the organisers have announced.
The festival will bring together scientists from all over Europe, including winners of the Ig Nobel Prize, an increasingly popular parody of the Novel Prize that awards unusual scientific achievements.
The partner country for this year's event is France. Scientists from Hungary, Portugal, Sweden and Slovenia will take part in the festival.
Ig Nobel Prize winners and zoologists Erich Pascal Malkemper and Sabine Begall from the Duisburg-Essen University in Germany will be the stars of the festival, the announcement says.
The festival will also introduce a special part of the programme modelled after Maker Fairs throughout the world, which will be dedicated to creative people and scientists who work tirelessly to turn their ideas into real products.
Scientists from Sweden's Lund University will be at the festival, along with professional geek Laszlo Robert Zsilos from Hungary, who will join up with the Portuguese team Pluje to impress the audience with various mathematical puzzles, while Spain will be represented by robotics specialist Elena Gracia Armada.
Tickets for the festival cost RSD 450 and can be bought at Eventim shops. During the event, they will also be available at the venues, that is Student Cultural Centre, National Bank of Serbia Gallery and the building of the former Kluz department store.
