European Cultural and Technological Center Maribor, social enterprise

We are a non-governmental and non-profit organization with the status in the public interest in the youth sector and environmental protection. We focus on development, research, interdisciplinary studies, and promoting science, technology, innovation, and knowledge. With a strong emphasis on social responsibility and innovation particularly through our registered museum, the Center of Experiments Maribor - Science Museum.

Annually, in our youth center (500 m2), we work with approximately 900 different young people, including Youth with fewer opportunities, for their greater competence and career equipment, informal training and for other values and topics relevant to young people. One of our key initiatives is the Maribor Science Festival, which we organize every year. Our goal is to encourage the general public to become active co-creators of sustainable solutions and inspire them to act responsibly in their everyday lives. With this, we want to contribute to raising awareness and changing lifestyles that are friendly to the environment and ensure the long-term preservation of natural resources.
