“7th Applied Synthetic Biology in Europe” will be held in Brno Observatory and Planetarium (https://www.hvezdarna.cz/en/).
The Brno Observatory and Planetarium is a centre for the popularisation of various sciences, especially in the field of inanimate nature. First and foremost, of course, it is astronomy, but the venue does not shy away from biology, geology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, geography and many other fields. All this is presented in a comprehensible, entertaining and interactive way. The Brno Observatory and Planetarium is not a scientific workplace, but you can encounter science at every step. The Brno Observatory and Planetarium also supports Brno universities and major scientific projects in the Brno region.
The modern premises of the Brno Observatory and Planetarium are an ideal place for medium-sized congress and incentive tourism events, special events for sponsors and advertising or barter partners, and cultural activities (theatre and musical performances).
