Statutory objective
Contributing to making science accessible to a wide audience, promoting science films and strengthening the reputation of Nijmegen as a city of knowledge and culture, by organizing an annual international film festival for science films, and performing anything related to this or that may be conducive to this.

Policy plan outlines
InScience shows the best science films of the moment during the annual festival. A selection of these will compete in the competition program for the NTR Audience Award, InScience Jury Award and the Student Jury Award. The side programming, consisting of lectures, debates, do-it-yourself labs, interactive programs and art installations at the intersection of art and science, gives InScience depth and color. InScience also offers an extensive educational program for primary, secondary and higher education. A special lesson program is part of the film visit. In addition to classroom visits during the festival, tailor-made programs are also offered in collaboration with teachers.
