The European Researchers' Night (ERN) is a science communication event that takes place annually in various cities across Europe, with the aim of raising awareness and involving the public in science, bringing researchers and civil society closer together.
The 2022/23 theme is ‘SCIEVER - Science for All - Sustainability and Inclusion’.
The 2022 edition took place on 30 September and the 2023 edition on 29 September 2023 in Coimbra, along with three other cities in the consortium, Lisbon, Braga and Évora, and involves nine national partners in the field of research, dissemination and implementation of inclusion and sustainability, who are also joined by our local partners.
The Institute for Interdisciplinary Research (iiiUC), as the UC representative, in collaboration with the Agency for the Promotion of Coimbra's Downtown (APBC) and with the support of the municipal entities, has organised a programme full of activities.
The main aim of the NEI 2022/23 activities is to involve the general public, with a special focus on schools, their students and the older population.
