Science will once again fill the streets, markets, and educational centers of the Tarragona area.<\/h6>\n

The fourth edition of the European Research Night<\/a> recovers the face-to-face activities in an edition still marked by the restrictions derived from the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The Rovira i Virgili University<\/a> coordinates this activity in the regions of Tarragona; together with the Catalan Institute of Classical Archeology (ICAC)<\/a>, the Catalan Institute of Chemical Research (ICIQ)<\/a>, the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute (IISPV)<\/a>, and the Catalan Institute of Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution (IPHES)<\/a>. A hundred researchers from these institutions participate in this great public event of scientific dissemination, which takes place every year in 300 cities in 30 European countries simultaneously.<\/p>\n

The objectives of this activity, promoted by the European Commission since 2005, are to promote public recognition of the research community, publicize the importance of its work for society, show that research in all its disciplines is fascinating, and explain and show the research and the researchers behind it.<\/p>\n

With the slogan “Research for change”, the activities planned for this edition reach all types of public. The central proposal is the scientific workshops fair<\/strong><\/a> that will be held in the Corsini square, in Tarragona. About thirty experimental proposals for family audiences of different ages will occupy this space throughout the afternoon of Friday, September 24. In addition, the European Corner<\/strong><\/a> space will be set up, where researchers who have previously registered will be able to present their research to the general public.<\/p>\n
