Come join us to celebrate science across Europe! The European Researchers’ Night is the largest science outreach event in Europe. In 2024 and 2025, 47 projects will run events in 23 countries.
Universities and research institutes across Europe will open their doors and share their work through presentations, experiments, games, discussions and other interactive formats. It’s your chance to go behind the scenes, meet researchers from your area and discover how the seemingly abstract world of science is already affecting your everyday life.
Are you a fan of science?
You can meet researchers from your area. Explore the interactive map via the link provided below to find events and meetups taking place near you. Discover the fascinating world of science in a fun and interactive way – with family, friends, colleagues or on your own.
All events are completely free and open to the public.
Get ready to learn more about research, science and innovation through a wide range of science shows, hands-on experiments, games, quizzes, competitions, exhibitions and digital activities. Simply visit the website of the project of your choice for full programmes and to plan your visit.

One night is not enough?
Since 2022, there is a new format in town! Researchers at Schools brings leading scientists into the classroom and pupils to the lab. It complements the European Researchers’ Night and is run by the same organisers. The difference is that the activities take place throughout the year. They are specifically aimed at little researchers-to-be.
