One hundred activities were led by around 300 researchers from the URV (Rovira i Virgili University) and the four CERCA research centers in the Tarragon area (ICAC, ICIQ, IISPV, IPHES).<\/h6>\n

The sixth edition of the European Researchers’ Night has exceeded all expectations. More activities, more locations, and greater participation, both from the public and researchers who, once again, have enthusiastically embraced this outreach activity.<\/p>\n

On the afternoon of Friday, September 29, and the morning of Saturday, September 30, over 4,000 people took part in the scientific workshop fair<\/strong> held at Corsini Square in Tarragona. For the first time, the main event of the Night extended over two days, and for the first time, the workshop fair also reached Tortosa.<\/p>\n

More than 4,000 people participated in the scientific workshop fair held at Corsini Square in Tarragona<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In total, there were about 60 workshops from various scientific disciplines for families. These were hands-on experiments adapted to understandable language. Upon entering the square, children received a scientific passport that they completed as they participated in the workshops. This year, around a thousand passports were completed.<\/p>\n

This initiative, coordinated and organized in the Tarragona region by the Science Communication and Outreach Unit of Rovira i Virgili University<\/a> (URV), involved nearly 300 researchers from URV and the CERCA centers in the area: the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology<\/a> (ICAC-CERCA), the Catalan Institute of Chemical Research<\/a> (ICIQ-CERCA), the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute<\/a> (IISPV-CERCA), and the Institute of Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution<\/a> (IPHES-CERCA). The proposal received funding from the European Union.<\/p>\n
