Researchers’ Nights were launched in 2005 by the European Commission as an initiative offering the public the opportunity to learn more about the researchers and their world.
During one same day, many European cities open their universities’, labs’, foundations’ doors and let people in.
On 24th September this year, Venice as well will host this event.
Plenty of activities are being planned, all of them will be available for free: guided visits to museums, European Corners, activities for children, aperitifs with researchers, concerts…
All the events are free of charge, but booking is necessary to secure your place.
