Science Night | Communication
1. September 2026Science Night, held under this new name for the first time this year, is one of the largest events promoting and popularising science around the world, and Zlín will once again be part of it. Don’t miss out and mark 25 September 2026 in your calendar! This year’s central theme is COMMUNICATION – from body language, secret codes and robots to communication at the cellular level and in crisis situations. Entry to the entire event is FREE.
What can you look forward to?
Loads of experiments and demonstrations – because that’s what a science night is all about! From spectacular chemistry shows and secret writing to making your own slime or super bouncy balls.
Interactive science workshops where you can experience science first-hand – chat with the BOTT-E chatbot, have a drink mixed by a robotic bartender, try out a laser shooting range or uncover counterfeit banknotes.
Short talks about science and a Science Battle.
Cultural programme and live music – the evening will culminate at 8:30 pm in the courtyard of the Faculty of Technology with a concert by the legendary Czech band VLTAVA, led by Robert Nebřenský.
