AMGC - Dag van de Wetenschap

Science comes to life when you share it!

'Dag van de Wetenschap' is all about bringing science to the people and AMGC is very proud to have been part of this.

We wanted to show that science is hiding everywhere, even in places people don't always suspect. So we teamed up with our colleagues from archaeology and engineering to talk about archaeological science and palaeontology. Behind the organization is the interdisciplinary group ArCPIG, supported by AMGC, SKAR and SURF.

The workshop 'From Indiana Jones to Laboratory techniques' introduced children to how archaeologists and paleontologists work together with scientists to uncover the past. We were apparently a great hit with the young ones as families told us they visited Brussels specifically to attend our workshop. We couldn't be more proud to have inspired these young minds to look into science for answers!
