«Sparks» exhibition of the Science Museum of London at our University

The international exhibition «Beyond the Lab» was inaugurated by European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Mr Christos Stylianides at European University Cyprus on 27 January. The exhibition, to remain open until 11 March, was organised by the London Science Museum and is scheduled to tour 29 European countries until the end of 2018. It is part of the European Union funded SPARKS project in which European University Cyprus and the Science Museum are key partners.

SPARKS aims to promote excellence in European research linked to Responsible Research and Innovation. Its unique touring exhibition features innovative case studies and includes participatory activities that constitute a model of citizens’ engagement in science, research and innovation in Europe. The exhibition seeks to explore the visitor’s relationship to technology in healthcare and medicine and shows citizens how to actively contribute to research processes ultimately helping scientists to better align their own work with citizen needs and expectations.
