Project description
Promoting science and arts in Malta
Science in the City, European Researchers’ Night (ERN) is an annual festival organised in Malta. Launched 8 years ago, about 40 % of the country’s population has visited the event at least once. Established to inspire creativity and foster curiosity and passion for knowledge in children, youth and adults, the festival was honoured by Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe, an international platform connecting festivals committed to science and arts. The EU-funded SitC project is an ERN event for 2020-2021, attracting researchers from all scientific fields and carrying out experiments and hosting art installations and games. The project supports responsible research and innovation, explains the concept and connects researchers to the public.
