Open science education project, launched in 2013 by Ivar Maksutov. Our mission is to promote scientific thinking. We engage leading academics in creating educational content and distributing it across different social platforms and media sources.
We have already collaborated with more than 370 researchers from MIT, Harvard, Cambridge, LSE, UCL, King’s College and other academic institutions. Among them are 8 Nobel Prize laureates, such as Harold Walter Kroto, Roy J. Glauber, Richard Henderson and Didier Queloz.
We are a team of creatives passionate about knowledge, and, as well as our experts, we live in different corners of the world: from Yerevan to London.
