The Fascinating World of Microorganisms: IMIC at the 2026 Science Fair!

The largest science outreach event in the Czech Republic attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year. Take a look at what it was like at the IMIC CAS booth.

15. 6. 2026

The Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS) has been organizing the Science Fair since 2015! This three-day event brings together scientists, institutions, and the public. The interactive exhibition by our institute changed in part each day. The booth featured a variety of topics prepared by teams from Prague as well as branch offices in Třeboň (Algatech Center) and Nový Hrádek.

We would like to thank everyone who helped and contributed to the Institute of Microbiology of the CAS booth!

Why is science communication important?

It connects scientists with society and builds trust in their work, helps the public understand current technologies, and fosters interest in scientific fields. We thank everyone who visited the IMIC CAS booth and tried out one of the activities or chatted with our scientists about their research. We would be happy to see you again next year.

The event would not have been possible without our colleagues from Laboratory of Antibiotic Resistance and Microbial Metabolomics, Laboratory of Fungal Genetics and Metabolism, Laboratory of Gnotobiology, Laboratory of Photosynthesis, and Laboratory of Algal Biotechnology!
