The European Researchers’ Night<\/a> is a public scientific outreach event that takes place annually simultaneously in 300 cities across 30 countries on the continent. Since 2018, URV has organized this initiative in the Tarragona region, and it has been growing and establishing itself over these six years. The aim of the European Researchers’ Night is to bring research and its protagonists closer to audiences of all ages and to promote research and innovation in a clear and understandable language.<\/p>\n

60 hands-on workshops!<\/h6>\n

The main innovations of this edition are related to the central event of the European Researchers’ Night: the science workshop fair for families. The high turnout in previous editions has led to this activity taking place over two days in Corsini Square in Tarragona: the evening of the 29th and the morning of the 30th of September<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Around 60 workshops will fill the square with highly experimental scientific activities tailored to a comprehensible language, aiming to bring science to the public in an understandable and playful manner and to ignite their scientific curiosity through experimentation. ICAC contributes to four of these workshops<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Tarragona City Council<\/a>, through the Europe Direct Tarragona<\/a> office, is the main sponsor of the activity in Corsini Square, in collaboration with the Diputaci\u00f3n de Tarragona<\/a>. It has also received support from the Tarragona Central Market and the company Borges.<\/p>\n
