European Researchers' Night brings science to the public across Europe
The European Researchers' Night is taking place across multiple countries, including Italy, Croatia, Spain, and Serbia, to promote scientific engagement between researchers and the public. This initiative, supported by the European Commission, features hundreds of interactive activities, workshops, and demonstrations designed to make science accessible to all ages.
In Italy, major events are being held in cities such as Siena, Catania, Rome, and Molfetta. Activities range from exploring neurosciences and robotics to studying geophysics and climate change. Institutions like the University of Siena, the University of Catania, and ENEA are hosting exhibitions, live experiments, and seminars. In Siena, the Bright-Night event attracted over 2,500 participants, while Catania’s Sharper Night involves approximately 1,500 people across 180 events.
In Croatia, cities like Split, Zadar, and Dubrovnik are hosting activities focused on marine protection, climate change, and new technologies. In Spain, the Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche is organizing workshops in Orihuela and Alicante, covering topics such as food security and cancer research. The event aims to inspire future generations of scientists and highlight the vital role of women in research.
