During ’A Day of Science’, we invite the best-known scientists in Narva to have a look at the world around us through a scientific lens. As Narva is located by a very exciting river, we will learn everything related to it and get to know the river itself – its inhabitants and those who live on the banks. The event includes lectures, workshops as well as history and nature hikes.
NB! You can register for the events through the Integration Foundation's self-service, which you can enter using an ID card, Mobile-ID or Smart-ID. Please see the user guide: integratsioon.ee/en/iseteenindus.
