The 18th International Conference on Hands-on Science, HSCI2021, offers a variety of partnership opportunities suitable for small, as well as, large institutions/companies and other organizations. Partners of HSCI2021 will gain high visibility for their institutions/companies demonstrating that they are committed to support the improvement of education in our schools and science literacy in our communities while supporting scientific and technology training and research and development towards a better future for our societies.

In an open minded and friendly atmosphere the participants (an average of 200 on previous editions) -teachers and educators, researchers, heads of school, representatives of the civil society and policy makers, students and general public interested in science education- will be actively involved in a number of diverse activities -plenary and regular lectures, posters and hands-on demonstrations, teacher training activities, discussion groups, science fair exhibitions, presentations by companies of educational materials or research institutions, as well as a number of informal interaction and get together activities throughout the week,…- building with their enthusiasm the success of the conference.

The support of companies and institutions involved with education or willing to promote its improvement will be most welcomed and all kinds and levels of contributions (both in kind or the equivalent in goods or services) will be highly recognised. Four levels of partnership are available depending on the level of the contribution to the conference but several other kinds of support are possible in a very flexible way.
