Events programme<\/p>\n

European Researchers’ Night Events<\/h1>\n

\n Every year, on the last Friday of September, the European Researchers’ Night brings\n research closer to society through public events across Europe. ERNEST contributes\n with immersive activities where visitors of all ages become investigators, follow\n clues, test ideas, and discover how scientific research connects people, countries,\n and everyday life.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section><\/header>

\n
\n
\n

European Researchers’ Night<\/p>\n

Science as a shared investigation.<\/h2>\n

\n The European Researchers’ Night is a Europe-wide public event dedicated to research\n careers, EU-funded science, and the impact of research on citizens’ daily lives. It\n welcomes the general public regardless of scientific background, with a special focus\n on young people, families, pupils, students, and audiences who may have fewer\n opportunities to engage with STEAM fields.\n <\/p>\n

\n ERNEST turns this mandate into an open investigation. Escape rooms introduce major\n scientific cases; hands-on activities and short challenges help visitors observe,\n test, and interpret clues; the investigator passport records their journey; debrief\n moments with researchers connect the experience to real scientific practice; and the\n EU Explorer links each discovery to a wider European research effort.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
\n \"\"\n <\/div>\n
\n

Entrance<\/h3>\n

\n Visitors receive an investigator passport and enter the storyline: every activity\n is a clue, and every clue helps them understand how science works.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n\n

\n
\n \"\"\n <\/div>\n
\n

Investigation Area<\/h3>\n

\n Escape rooms, hands-on experiments, games, simulations, quizzes, and short\n challenges invite visitors to observe, hypothesize, test, and collaborate.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n\n

\n
\n \"\"\n <\/div>\n
\n

EU Explorer<\/h3>\n

\n This area links the local investigation to European research, showing how\n discoveries grow through collaboration, mobility, funding programmes, and shared\n scientific networks.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n\n

\n
\n \"\"\n <\/div>\n
\n

Debrief Area<\/h3>\n

\n Researchers help participants interpret what they experienced and connect the\n clues, methods, and discoveries to real scientific practice.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
\n \"Example\n <\/div>\n
\n

The investigator passport<\/h3>\n

\n The passport works as a simple logbook: visitors collect stamps linked to the\n scientific process, such as observing, testing, collaborating, concluding, and\n connecting their discoveries. There is no fixed route. Each visitor builds a personal\n investigation path and can connect the experience to European research through EU Explorer.\n <\/p>\n

\n This four-zone structure is shared across all ERNEST cities. Open each city programme\n to discover which activities are part of its Investigation Area.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n
