SPONSORSHIPS

Supporting our Mission

Over the past years, Science in the City proved to be a very successful festival growing into an annual event in both the real world and online platforms The hybrid event with live activities, in Valletta and a number of activities being streamed from a studio straight to your screens via our website will host over 30 activities for young and old alike. Every year we have increased audience numbers and reached c. 30,000 visitors. In 2020, due to the pandemic, we went purely digital with a following of 20,000 throughout the festival. In 2022 and 23 we aim to attract 35,000 people (c. 7% of Malta’s population) through both online and real-world activities.

Its diverse range of interactive activities will appeal to a number of different sectors of society, ranging from families with children, to youths and pensioners. We have and will continue to focus on creating activities to attract more teenagers and youths. We are pleased to note from the impact assessment studies that the number of people in this age group is increasing
