Science Fair 2025: How we engaged kids and students on the topic of sustainable society of today and tomorrow
On 5-7 June 2025 CzechGlobe, the Global Change Research Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, participated in the Science Fair 2025 (Veletrh vedy), the largest popular educational science event in the Czech Republic. Across the exhibition area of over 8,000 m², more than 58,000 visitors could view nearly 100 exhibitions from more than 90 exhibitors. Among the exhibitors were scientific institutions and educational, innovative and technological companies, science centres and, of course, more than 45 research institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS). This year, CzechGlobe’s stand was represented by the Department of Human Dimensions, which focuses on environmental social science — the study of how people interact with the natural environment.

More With a fresh fizz and hoppy scent, a cold beer is a drink that touches all of our senses. But as our climate changes, so too might the flavour profile of one of the world’s most popular drinks.
With its satisfying, tantalising flavour, few drinks evoke as familiar a feeling as a freshly poured beer. “It’s not only bitter, it’s not only sweet, it almost invites you to a next sip, and that’s a very difficult quality to describe,” says Mirek Trnka, a researcher at the Global Change Research Institute Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
The flavour of beer is created by a complex symphony of chemical compounds from three ingredients; hops, yeast and malted barley. But now climate change is threatening the production of two of those – barley and hops. Trnka and his colleagues say that the traditional crops that brewers rely on to create beer – called noble hops – will become “more difficult to grow”.
