The Open Lab (OL) science festival is an all-Ukrainian festival where science becomes accessible and visible in ordinary things. It comes out of the laboratories and appears in an accessible and understandable form for all interested parties.
The festival collaborates with scientists, researchers, and educators who share their knowledge and passion for science with the youth and the public. There is a networking opportunity for all participants and visitors, and a gender-equal approach for young people in science and technology is demonstrated.
One of the important goals of the OL Science Festival is to attract a new generation of scientists and interest girls in realizing their future profession in the STEM field.
The OL Science Festival offers a variety of activities, including exhibitions, workshops, talks, and practical experiments. Visitors can learn about interesting scientific achievements in robotics, chemistry, biology, and VR.
The festival program includes:
- The first science theater (chemistry science show)
- Chemistry of life (science show on biology)
- RobotARium (scientific show on robotics and AR)
- VReali (scientific show on VR technologies)
- Many other interesting and exciting things
Traveling science shows will cover four cities:

Lviv Open Lab implements the OL Science Festival within the framework of the "Springboard to equality" project, which UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, in partnership with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine, with the financial support of the Embassy of Sweden in Ukraine implements.
