Discovering the All the Sustainable Development Goals with the ScienceCenter-Network

International Science Center and Science Museum Day in Vienna, Austria

On the occasion of the first International Science Center and Science Museum Day the Austrian ScienceCenter-Network prepared an outstanding all-day event taking place in the unique setting of the Natural History Museum Vienna.

School classes, students, families, and the wider public were invited to explore different aspects of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals while engaging in exciting hands-on activities. These could be practiced at thematic stations spread throughout the museum, each of them being dedicated to a particular SDG and facilitated by one of the Network’s partners.

“Around the World in 17 Goals” presents a unique cooperation, a joint project of various partners of the ScienceCenter-Network, among them science centers and museums, science communicators, and researchers, showing contribution and commitment to the SDGs in the Republic of Austria:
