The twentieth Science Festival in the Republic of Croatia was held from April 24^th to 29^th, 2023. This year’s theme was Nature and Society, which participants interpreted in different ways by creating a diverse, interesting, and fun program. The aim of this year’s Science Festival was to bring scientific topics closer and promote them, and to establish a dialogue between science and the public to emphasize the importance and omnipresence of science.

At our College, the Science Festival started on April 24^th, 2023, with a lecture titled “Agrotourism as a possibility of returning to nature”, held by Assistant Professor Sandra Mrvica Mađarac, college professor, and a workshop titled “Truths and Lies – How Does a Polygraph Work?” conducted by Erna Davidović Cvetko, PhD, senior lecturer. On the third day of the Festival, April 26^th, 2023, Erna Davidović Cvetko, PhD, senior lecturer, held a workshop on “Elephant Toothpaste”. We concluded the Festival on April 28^th, 2023, with a lecture “Circular Economy and Global Competitiveness”, held by Assistant Professor Sanja Gongeta, college professor.
