WHAT IS STARMUS?
-
Starmus is a global festival of science communication and art that brings together the most brilliant minds on the planet
-
Our aim is to inspire and educate the next generation of explorers and regenerate the spirit of discovery
-
Starmus combines art, music and science to enhance the science communication.
-
We want to engage humanity in the biggest questions of our time
The Starmus Festival was born to celebrate science and the arts with the goal of bringing an understanding and appreciation of science to the public at large.

“I greatly enjoyed the STARMUS festival. It is a combination of science and rock music, both of which I love. I hope there is a STARMUS next year, and you invite me. In a world beset by so many terrible problems, and so lacking in solutions, STARMUS offers a ray of hope.“

“Let us hope that our grandchildren at our age can look back and say, “The 20th century was a century of advancement and improvement in technology, and the 21st century was a century of advancement and improvement in human character.”
