Science Route | September 26 2025
The European Researchers' Night programme, the highlight of which is the “Science Route”, covers 93 points of interest distributed between Largo da Portagem and Praça 8 de Maio, passing through Rua Ferreira Borges and Rua Visconde da Luz, which include hands-on activities, visits, dances, experiments and demonstrations, where scientists will make their science known to the public.
The European Researchers' Night also offers prizes and experiences in downtown Coimbra. Whenever they visit one of the 93 Research Points, participants will be able to scan the QR code (present on the presentation tin for each activity) and register at that point. The more points they visit, the better the prize they can win, from dinners, snacks, ice creams, escape rooms, discs and more.
All of NEI's activities are made possible thanks to the work of around 70 PhD students/volunteers, more than 600 researchers from thirty of UC Research and Development units, museums, science centres, cultural entities, artists and services, as well as more than 50 shopkeepers in downtown Coimbra.
