From the moment our guests arrived, the atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm and curiosity. The EPE managers, who work tirelessly to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and public engagement, brought with them a wealth of knowledge and experience. Their visit was not only a fantastic opportunity for us at Explorium to showcase our interactive exhibits and innovative learning spaces but also a chance to exchange ideas on how best to connect Irish research with society.
At Explorium, we strongly believe in the transformative power of research and innovation. Our mission is to make science and technology accessible, fun, and engaging for everyone.
