The European Researchers' Night is a science communication event that takes place annually in several European cities, with the aim of promoting awareness and the population's involvement in science, bringing researchers and civil society closer together.
With the theme "SCIGLO -Science for Global Challenges", the 2025 edition took place on September 26th in Coimbra and in three other cities of the consortium, Lisbon, Braga and Évora. This event involved nine national partners in the area of research, dissemination and implementation of inclusion and sustainability, which were also joined by our local partners.
