Lund University, together with the City of Helsingborg, Wihlborgs, Navet Analytics and the Helsingborg Trade Association, is laying the foundations for “Science Centre Helsingborg”, which will be located next to Campus Helsingborg. The initiative aims to stimulate interest in science, research and future challenges at an early age and is expected to attract 20,000 visitors a year.
– Lund University conducts world-leading research in many areas, and a science centre offers excellent opportunities to stimulate curiosity and interest in research and education from an early age. It can also become a hub for cooperation between different actors in the region,’ says Lena Eskilsson, Vice Chancellor of Lund University.
The Helsingborg Science Centre is located in Fabriken1891 on Rönnowsgatan and will include exhibition areas, group rooms, laboratories, storage and offices. The centre will be developed in stages, with school activities and pre-booked visits starting as early as 2025, before opening to families and other visitors at weekends and during holidays.
The Helsingborg Science Centre will be run in a similar way to the Vattenhallen Science Centre in Lund, which opened in 2009.
