European Researchers’ Night

European Researchers’ Night

European Researchers’ Night is an event sponsored by the European Commission and is financed by the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions. It is a Europe-wide public event to bring researchers closer to the general public, aimed at showcasing the diversity of science and its impact on the daily lives of citizens, and to stimulate interest in research careers, especially amongst young people.

Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) – in addition to the private investment that this money attracts. It promised more breakthroughs, discoveries and world-firsts by taking great ideas from the lab to the market.

Horizon 2020 is the financial instrument aimed at securing Europe’s global competitiveness.

European Researchers’ Night is taking place in 30 countries (EU Members and Associated Countries) and a list of some of the events can be found here.
