The European Researchers’ Night is an annual science outreach event held on the last Friday of September in hundreds of cities across Europe. Funded by the European Commission, its main goal is to bring science closer to the public by showcasing the work of researchers in a fun and accessible way. Through a wide variety of free activities, such as interactive workshops, live experiments, talks with scientists, and lab tours, the event aims to break down barriers between the scientific community and the public. It highlights the positive impact of research on our daily lives and, most importantly, inspires young people to consider a career in science.
