On September 30, 2016 IIMCB organized the “Be Healthy as a Fish” workshop as a festival lesson at 20th edition of the Warsaw Science Festival. The objective of the IIMCB educational program is to teach children basic knowledge about the life of fish and about possibilities of their use in studies on certain human diseases. We would like to introduce children to modern science in a friendly way. We will focus on the field of biology in a way that complements the children’s classroom curriculum and that encourages them to broaden their biology interests in the future.

The Warsaw Science Festival is a scientific event held each year in September in Warsaw. The main objective of the Festival is to popularize the understanding of methods, scope of possibilities and achievements of science in the society, present its role in the development of a strong economy and its significance for the development of a better, knowledge-based society.
