China's major science projects and large scientific equipment will be displayed to the public during an annual celebration of science that commences on Saturday.

During the 16th Science Week, 12 major projects and equipment will be presented to visitors in Beijing through models, pictures and videos, said Bao Xianhua, an official with the Ministry of Science and Technology.

There will also be a researchers' briefing on S&T innovation, Bao said.

More than 2,000 activities will be held in all parts of the country during the week, while various agencies like Chinese Academy of Sciences and Ministry of Environmental Protection will host over 400 more.
