'Science in Daily Life' Gyeonggi Science & Culture Festival Held on the 14th

Gyeonggi Province will host the '2026 Gyeonggi Science & Culture Festival' on the 14th at the Next-Generation Convergence Technology Research Institute (Gwanggyo Techno Valley) in Suwon, where residents can directly experience the achievements and values of science and technology and enjoy science culture in their daily lives.

The Gyeonggi Science & Culture Festival, hosted by Gyeonggi Province and organized by the Next-Generation Convergence Technology Research Institute, is being held for the third time this year. It will be operated as a participatory festival where anyone can familiarize themselves with science.

Outdoors, four themed spaces—'NEXT LAB', 'MOTION LAB', 'ART LAB', and 'WONDER LAB'—will be set up featuring science and technology from various fields including artificial intelligence, energy, climate, environment, and resource circulation, as well as themes on future society.

Indoors, 'MISSION LAB' will be operated for scientific problem-solving and inquiry activities, and 'LIVE LAB' will serve as a venue for science and culture communication where residents can enjoy lectures, conversations, and performances.

Bae Young-sang, Director of the Digital Innovation Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "Science and technology is no longer the domain of experts alone but an important element that changes our daily lives and future. We hope this event will serve as an opportunity for provincial residents to embrace science as a joyful and familiar culture."

This event is being conducted as part of the 'Regional Science and Culture Capacity Building Project,' which is funded by the Science and Technology Promotion Fund, lottery fund, and Gyeonggi Province's budget.
