SciCafé, Europe’s Network of Science Cafés, invites you to attend the SciCafé 2012 conference and accompanying events taking place in the village of Panormos near Rethymno, Crete, Greece, on 2nd – 4th July 2012.

Science cafés are informal events of various formats, which all share a common feature: they are relaxed social gatherings, taking place usually (but not always!) in cafés, focused on promoting the public understanding of science.
