Researchers night
Researchers’ Night is an annual science event where researchers across Europe open their doors to curious minds of all ages. This all-day and evening event celebrates the achievements of science and research through a multidisciplinary programme. Researchers present their work and studies through workshops presentations, lectures, and lab visits.
