ACADEMIA SINICA TAIWAN

Promoting Popular Science Research For You, Popular Science Lectures, and Open House “Research For You” is a popular science platform appealing to a wide audience that introduces research results in mathematics, the natural sciences, and the humanities and social sciences, as well as shedding light on the hardships researchers encounter while doing scholarship. Breakthroughs in popular science are shared with the public through social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Academia Sinica regularly holds the “Knowledge Feast: Popular Science Lectures in Honor of Late Presidents”, inviting AS Academicians and other scholars to share the latest development in their fields. Beginning in 2018, popular science lectures have been held in cities across Taiwan to bring cutting-edge knowledge closer to the general public. For the past 23 years, Taiwan’s largest “Open House” has been held at Academia Sinica featuring hundreds of events organized on an annual basis, including lab tours, poster exhibitions, interactive experiments, and scientific lectures. In 2019, the “Black Hole Exhibition” along with the first image of a black hole ever recorded attracted 210,000 visits. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Open House invited people to engage in online sessions about this disease, including its causes and development as well as the relationship between the pandemic and a range of social, cultural, political, and economic issues. 31 Fulfill Social Responsibilities | - 30
