Project description
Raising awareness about research and its contributions in Catalonia
The European Researchers’ Night events take place every year all over Europe, targeting the general public with the aim of raising awareness about research and its contributions. The EU-funded EuNightCat20 project is organising activities in Catalonia. On 27 November 2020, more than 250 activities will be led by seven partners in the region and will be articulated around five themes: researchers will talk about their work at schools; the Horizon Europe programme will be presented; videos will be produced featuring researchers’ activities; an exhibition showcasing the work of 30 women researchers from Catalonia will take place; various activities will be organised in malls or markets to reach a large public. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, all activities will be prepared in both physical and virtual formats. All the information can be found in www.lanitdelarecerca.cat.
