The cosmological constant is interpreted as a true Casimir effect on a scalar field filling the universe. The effect is driven by compactifying boundary conditions imposed on some of the coordinates, associated both with large and small scales. The very small value of the cosmological constant obtained from recent astro-physical observations can be matched with the results coming from the model. A marginally closed universe is favored, being the compactification radius for the small dimensions in the range 100 - 1000 times the Planck length.
