SCIENCE TRIP
About us Quick F.A.Q.
What is this about?
This is about continuing to popularize science, making it more interesting and understandable for common people. We came up with a new direction of popular science: Pop-science in the field. We organize expeditions to places that are interesting for fans of certain science branches. These are very unusual trips.
Ok, what's unusual about them?
Together with the science-speaker, whose videos you watch on YouTube, we create an exciting program for visiting places notable for your area of scientific interest. At a designated point you will be met by a science-speaker and our representative, who is in charge of administrative and logistic issues. Here your journey begins. Accompanied by a scientist, you will come into live contact with what you have heard and read so much about.
Why not just go somewhere yourself and hire a guide on the spot?
It may seem that these are similar formats, but in fact there is nothing common between them. Guides are not scientists; they know the subject to a very limited extent and cannot share deep scientific knowledge. In our case, you will be accompanied by a scientist-enthusiast, an expert in his field. You will be able to listen to his lectures throughout the entire trip, and not just at two or three spots, for an hour at each. You can ask questions at any time, take part in discussions and gain practical knowledge. It is very important that you will already know the speaker in advance from his videos on YouTube, and, therefore, you will be sure in advance that he speaks in a language that is interesting, appealing and understandable to you. We will solve all organizational and transport issues, and you will be able to fully immerse yourself in the world of science.
That's not all. We cooperate with travel companies that provide us with the most favorable accommodation and transfer offers, and we cover part of the costs through grants - all this will make your trip not only interesting, but also at a reasonable price.
Okay, sounds good. I am a science-speaker and I have a small channel on YouTube, can I join your project?
We are open absolutely to everyone. Any science-speaker can contact us, and together we will create a program for an expedition trip that will be most interesting for his audience. We will take care of all administrative, financial and logistical issues and leave only the scientific part to the speaker. And we probably need to introduce you to our principles...
What are the principles?
We proceed from the fact that our main goal is popularization of science. Everything we do, we do to make science more accessible and understandable. That's why:
1. We are not a commercial project. We are a pop-science fan club.
2. Wherever possible, we save costs so that they do not fall on you. Maximum scientific value for minimum price.
3. Each expedition trip is unique. We try to match all expectations.
4. We always keep ourselves open-minded.
And who are we?
We are science enthusiasts from four continents and seven countries. Each of us has his own scientific background, pop-science unites us. We speak different languages; our working language is English. We really like what we do. We love this job.
What language do science-speakers use on expeditions?
Our main language is English, but expeditions can be in different languages, it depends on the science-speaker and his audience. In addition to English, we plan expeditions in Spanish and French. We also have regional managers who speak Chinese and Russian.
Okay, I'm interested. How can I contact you?
In any case write to us by email. We will respond quickly. It doesn’t matter whether you want to take part in an expedition trip as a participant, want to make an expedition trip with us as a science-speaker, or want to join our team - write about it in the topic.
We will be waiting!
For scientists and science-speakers
In all branches of science there are notable places that science-enthusiasts would like to visit. You know them better in your field. We will help you organize such an expedition. We will take care of logistics, administrative and financial issues. All what is left for you is the scientific part. We are to work on format and features of an expedition to make it interesting for science-enthusiasts and in order to meet the expectations of a science-speaker.
It works like this:
1. Write to us about yourself. Don’t forget to leave links to your YouTube channel and social media accounts to let us do some analysis of your scientific experience and your audience.
2. Our regional representative will study it and contact you back.
3. We will talk about the expedition plan: the scientific part, logistics, accommodation, financial conditions. We will discuss your fee as well.
4. Information about the expedition will be distributed among the audience and, as soon as the group is ready, we leave.
Why are you interested in us?
We will take care of ALL organizational issues. We have had extensive experience in the tourism industry and gained from numerous collaborations. You will get what you do best – communicate with your audience.
That's not all. Throughout the expedition we will be making a film about it, so you will get exciting new content for your channel.

For science enthusiasts
If you love science, you will be interested in visiting notable places in your area of interest. But there is a big difference in how to do it.
You can go on your own and try to find a guide on the spot. But are you sure that the excursion will be interesting, and that the guide’s level of knowledge is deep enough? Let's assume you're lucky and satisfied with the excursion. Two hours of an interesting story and nothing more. Compare with what we offer you.
Our small expedition group consists of enthusiasts just like you. Throughout the expedition we have a science-speaker with us, whom you know well from his videos on YouTube. Already at the hotel with an introductory lecture awaiting you, it will immerse you in the atmosphere of the expedition. While we get to the place in a comfortable bus, the science-speaker will continue the story, and you can ask him any questions. Having arrived at the place, we will plan our time to examine as much as possible and listen to detailed comments from the science-speaker. It may take more than one day, as the program may include several locations. Lectures given by the science-speaker will accompany you throughout the trip. This kind of experience you can get only with science-trip.com
You want more? If you have any special wishes or requests, we will try to accommodate them.
We cooperate with travel companies that provide us with the most favorable accommodation and transfer offers. Part of the costs is covered through grants. All this will make your trip not only interesting, but also at a reasonable price.
