Science Café
CNSI’s Science Café is a recurring informal get-together 'every third Thursday of the month' of staff and guests of CNSI and residents and visitors of St Eustatius to inspire and engage each other in discussions and networking opportunities relevant to knowledge building for the sustainable development of St Eustatius, the Caribbean Netherlands and the Caribbean region. Guests of CNSI will be asked to give lectures for the general public. CNSI also invites speakers from other organisations on a regular basis. These lectures should give an insight into the work CNSI supports and show how it relates to the people's lives and interests. In this way CNSI can reach out to the people of St Eustatius, exchange ideas and gain support at this most relevant level. While enjoying a drink and a snack at the Science Café, the public has the opportunity to take part in the discussion of knowledge priorities, contibuting to a Knowledge Agenda for St Eustatius and the Caribbean Netherlands.
