Researchers, "stars" of the Union for one night” “

“European Researchers’ Night”: that’s the title of an awareness-raising project organized by the European Commission for Friday 23 September. It plans a series of events in various cities of the EU. The objective, which the project will try to achieve through scientific displays, interactive games, experiments and demonstrations, is to show how important and fulfilling it is to undertake a career as a researcher and how relevant it is for society. Brussels will be at the centre of this project, which also envisages many other events such as “a dinner with the disciples of Einstein” in Barcelona, a “café of the sciences” in Copenhagen, a “starparty” in Athens, “research on the stage” at the university of Camerino, “a marathon of experiments” in Budapest and many others.
