Education
We carry out educational programs for kids and youth, and for their teachers and mentors. Višnjan educational programs throughout the years hosted many students who today are established scientists and researchers, active in prestigious world institutions.
Our summer schools consist of various programs.

Summer School of Science (S³) international program aimed at high school students highly motivated for gaining experience and skills in today’s multidisciplinary research areas covering natural sciences and technologies.
Višnjan School of Astronomy (VSA) is the oldest educational program. It is an international program aimed for high school students willing to work on interesting projects in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics.
In addition to these summer schools, we also conduct year-round education for kids, youth, and adults.
