COPENHAGEN 2017
The March for Science Copenhagen 2017 took place on April 22, 2017. Thousands of people met at the Niels Bohr Institute, with a DJ and speeches from members of the organising committee, and marched through the city to Christiansborg Slotsplads where featured speakers & performers filled out the program.
The March for Science is an annual call for politicians to implement evidence-based policies. It is a public celebration of the sciences and the enormous contributions they provide to our democracy, our economy, and our daily lives. Join us in 2018!
