Sažetak
The 13th Festival of Science will be organized in a number of Croatian towns on April 20-25, 2015. The organization of the Festival in Croatia was initiated by a non-profit organization, the British Council, which continues to provide central support. Every year volunteers from any town can apply and organize the Festival of Science in their town. The Festival of Science was initially limited to university towns, but for a number of years now, smaller non-university towns have been actively organizing successful Festivals of Science. Local organizing committees are usually composed of university professors and volunteers-enthusiasts.
The goal is to devote an entire week to science and popular scientific activities which tend to be organized in town centers and sometimes in academic institutions, with the idea of bringing science closer to citizens, taking it out of academic classrooms and research laboratories.
