- showcase the impact of researchers’ work on people’s daily lives
In 2020, the European Researchers’ Night attracted over 2 million visitors in Europe and beyond.
Visit the events to meet researchers and discover the fascinating world of science in a fun and interactive environment – with family or on your own.
Children, young people and families will have the chance to meet researchers and discover research, science and innovation through a wide range of science shows, hands-on experiments, games, quizzes, competitions, exhibitions and digital activities.
