#NitRecerCat: The Catalan European Researchers' Night

The Catalan European Researchers’ Night project consists in a two years proposal for 2024 and 2025.

The overall proposal is centred on two main activities: The European Researchers’ Night (ERN) and Researchers at Schools (R@S). The well-known ERN will be held on 27 September 2024 and on 26 September 2025.

During two years, nine partners will bring research and researchers closer to more than 30,000 people and, 10000 students with nearly 500 activities which will be performed all throughout Catalonia.

A part of ERN, Researchers at Schools (R@S) are designed, adding a much better and longer interaction of pupils with the research from the Catalan institutions. 15 schools will become #NitEduCat Schools, with two-years of stable collaboration between a team of researchers and the schools.

The proposal aims at making the public aware about the present mission-oriented program of European Commission, mainly in the idea of how Researchers can help to change the world to a better one. #NitRecerCat is divided in two activities:•Catalan European Researchers’ Night (Nit Europea de la Recerca, ERN)o“La Nit Catalana de la Recerca” – More than 250 activities for each edition are programmed during Friday evening/night.

A common “El Racó d’Europa” will be allocated in each location together with Women in Science exhibition.o“Ensopega’t amb la Recerca” – During Friday/Saturday morning, research will be found in everyday locations, from markets, to museums, malls, bars, etc, •Researchers at School – (R@S) oNitEduCat Schools –Development of 5-medium-long-term projects that promote stable collaboration between a team of researchers and primary/secondary school. o“La Recerca va a l’Escola” – Special campaigns will be done for Research visiting School.
