We are starting preparations for Neighbor's Day 2025

To make the event truly diverse and inclusive, we invite you to join us in the preparations. Everyone is welcome – neighbors of all generations, as well as those who don't live nearby but feel connected to Center Rog. Let's organize an unforgettable gathering together, which will be a perfect introduction to summer.

The preparatory meetings will take place in various labs of Center Rog. No prior knowledge is required to participate, just a good mood and a desire to create and collaborate.
