Abstract
The popularization of knowledge is a process aiming at propagating and disseminating learning in an approachable, interesting and intriguing way. The main role of popularization is first of all to make a person interested of a particular brand of science and formulate an appropriate attitude towards nature and environment. The key part in this process is played by universities. Both scientists and students engaged in the promotion of learning are the important factor in propagating knowledge. There are many ways of disseminating science, such as science festivals, the Day Open at Universities or student camps. The main purpose of those events is the popularization of both learning and the profession of scientist as such. The participants have a chance to become familiar with some new, interesting facts as well as to cultivate the already existing ones. In this way they have a chance to feel like scientists themselves.
