VR Sci Fest

This is the 2nd edition of the international festival dedicated to immersive technologies in science and art. Last year’s event was a great success with 35 organisations and startups, 12 universities and 60 specially invited guests from all over the world working together to make it a truly immersive experience for our 3000 visitors.

The theme of the festival this year is Virtual City, the place and space of our daily life, where knowledge and ambitions collide, where physical meets the virtual, where tech and science immerse to bring us ideas and solutions to some of the most pressing challenges of humanity in areas of architecture, transport, industry 4.0, ICT, health, media, AI, and arts. The city is our commonplace in which we live and make things happen. The virtual city is our new world in which we also thrive coexisting in realities we have imagined. A world as it could be. We think immersive technologies present an advanced visualisation for understandings of the incredible things we know and discover what is waiting to be known.

VR_Sci Fest is the only European non-profit festival of its kind that is free and open to the public. Our supporters contribute to the festival in order to create an educational and cultural value that manifests openness and wide accessibility of new technologies. The festival program is rich and diverse: from popular 360 films to research labs and an industrial expo.
