The European Researchers' Night, funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions, is a Europe-wide public event that brings researchers closer to the general public. The Night showcases the diversity of science and its impact on citizens’ daily lives, stimulating interest in research careers - particularly among young people. In 2019, it attracted 1.6 million visitors across 400 cities in Europe and beyond. As part of the European Researchers’ Night 2020, the European Commission will fund 51 projects in 30 European countries – including countries associated to the Horizon 2020 Programme.
This year the event was initially scheduled for Friday 25 September 2020. Due to the exceptional circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, it will now take place on Friday 27 November 2020.
