There are several "National Science Weeks" around the world but the idea may have started in the USA with the National Science and Technology Week (see talk page). In India Science Week culminates in National Science Day, which takes place each year on 28th February to commemorate C V Raman's discovery of the Raman Effect. In Australia National Science Week, which began in 1997, coincides with Sleek Geek Week.
Britain's National Science and Engineering Week Week began in 1994 and is organised by the British Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2007 it's taking place from 9th to 18th March when 2 observatories in London are open to the public.
