DFN has been held for many years and is addressed to a broad audience interested in the development of science and technology, largely related to the natural and mathematical sciences, but also to the social sciences, humanities, art and culture.

Participants will be able to learn about interesting phenomena, discover how work is conducted in laboratories and workshops, and meet and discuss issues with scientists from many fields.

The Legnica edition of the festival will take place, among other venues, at the State Higher Vocational School, the Legnica Branch Teaching Centre of Wrocław University of Technology, KGHM Letia SA, and Secondary Schools I, II and V.
