Without science, we will not change the quality and way of life in Silesia and Zagłębie. It is a natural good, more important for the future of the inhabitants than fossil fuels or the related industry. We can turn it into a new industry in the City of Science. Our goal is to make it clear in the Silesian Voivodeship that science is used for solving daily problems and that it can provide us with answers to almost every question.
Objectives of the City of Science initiating the transformation of the region through science
providing the region’s residents with unlimited access to knowledge
turning science into a fundamental instrument for civil dialogue
