To actively involve the participants in the Forum’s scientific atmosphere, the organisers will hold plenary sessions, workshops, and real time scientific experiments in the University’s labs. The scientific and entertainment programme will include intellectual quizzes and Stand-Up Science competitions whereby young scientists from the BRICS countries will show video clips explaining complicated science in simple terms. This competition is aimed at popularizing science.
