Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the role of science centers in advancing scientific
knowledge. To do so, two heads of science centers were selected to perform interviews,
one of whom had previously worked as a head of science center in Denmark and the other
of whom had previously worked as a head of science center in Turkey. The study's approach
was modified as qualitative method, and the study can be thought of as a case study in this
context. As a data collection tool, a semi-structured interview form was used. It was used
to find out what the participants thought about the role of science centers in advancing
scientific knowledge. Participants emphasize the importance of science centers in
achieving effective science communication. This research is expected to guide future
studies on the advancement of the scientific knowledge.
