In times of hardship, heroes emerge!
The pandemic and its devastating effects on the entire planet brought to the forefront a new order of heroes, who stem primarily from the field of science! These are the kinds of heroes who were honored by the Athens Science Virtual Festival 2021!
The COVID-19 restrictions and social distancing measures were the triggers for us to introduce the digital era of the Festival, as a new way of showcasing our events and further expanding our audience across and beyond Greece. The digital format of the festival involved a range of live online events, pre-recorded events with live Q&A sessions, participatory workshops, and other novel digital formats.
The festival not only showcased a COVID-related theme, in order to inform the broad public on relevant scientific developments but also included a large variety of complementary scientific areas of interest:
Machine Learning | AI | Digital Transformation | Health | Robotics | STEM Education | Environment | Sustainable Development | Art
Meanwhile, a wide variety of topics from science and humanities were presented by well-known and prestigious academics, researchers, and educators in an intuitive, attractive, and interactive way.
