European Researchers' Night and Researchers at Schools 2026-2027

Objectives: The European Researchers' Night and Researchers at Schools 2026-2027 aim to enhance the interaction between researchers and the general public, improve communication skills among researchers, and increase the visibility of research work. The initiative includes organizing the European Researchers’ Night, which targets a wide audience and especially aims to engage young people and those with less access to science fields, and the Researchers at Schools initiative, which brings researchers into educational centers to inspire pupils with research challenges and projects. These activities are expected to foster better communication of research results, increased engagement of citizens, and a deeper understanding of EU policies and priorities.
