Dear MILSET friends, Since its creation, MILSET has been gathering educators and young people from all around the world in its activities, with simple goal: inspire youth through Science and Technology. 25 years after its creation, MILSET is now represented in 84 countries, and its members reach each year hundreds of thousands of young scientists around the world. MILSET, however, is not alone in the landscape of the Science Fairs. Despite having a large network of Local, National and International Science Fair organizers, we must share our philosophy and experience with others actors in science and education. This is the reason why MILSET would like, on the occasion of its 25th Anniversary, to invite the main actors in Scientific and Popular Education all around the world to a unique event, where each one will be able to share its vision of Science Fairs, Education in Science and Scientific and Technologic activities for youth. The idea of holding this event at the Puebla City Congress and Exhibition Centre in Mexico from November 21-24 is not a coincidence. “La RED”, the Mexican National Network of Science and Technology Activities for Youth, is holding its national Science Fair making it the largest event organized by one of the MILSET’s member. Following the idea of a better understanding of each other, MILSET proposes to gather the Main Organizers of Science Fairs in the world to sit on a round table and discuss together the future of Science Fairs. How to work with Universities, how to reach more kids, how to promote attraction to Scientific careers through Science Fairs, how to work together could be the themes of discussion.
