The European Researchers` Night is an event initiated by the European Commission, which takes place every year on the last Friday of September, explaining the achievements of science in an engaging way and allowing anyone who is interested to look into the secrets of the work of scientific laboratories.
This event is organized in all countries of the European Union to popularize research and innovation activities, to promote understanding about the work of scientists and researchers and its impact on our daily lives, as well as to encourage young people to choose a career as a scientist.
