Thirty-nine participants, representing 26 institutions in 15 countries, shared ideas and experiences about outreach based on easy-to-transport exhibits (MEPs) carried in science trucks, science vans, science buses, and even science boats. Participants shared experiences with launching a mobile exhibit program, staffing and budgets, and marketing. They also toured three science trucks. In the Technopolis' own Experion, students are challenged to save the earth from an exploding alien spaceship by completing nine experiments. Lumbricus, from Germany, is one of several environmental trucks of the Natur- und Umweltschutz-Akademie Nordrhein-Westfalen (NUA) (Nature and Environment Academy of Nordrhein Westfalen). Netmoviel belongs to the Katholieke Hogeschool Kempen, in Flanders. A visit to Technopolis, with a behind-the-scenes tour of the operations, completed the experience.
