Work is underway for the next Researchers' Night, scheduled for Friday, September 30th this year in Bologna, Cesena, Forlì, Ravenna, and Rimini.

A joint effort that will explain how research is the most effective tool for reaching innovative solutions useful for tackling society's challenges and improving the quality of our lives. Workshops, exhibits, treasure hunts, meetings will give everyone the opportunity to get to know the life of researchers live and touch the importance and beauty of doing research.
Founded in 2005, Researchers' Night is an initiative of the European Commission which sees researchers from all EU countries meet up to meet the public in an evening dedicated to scientific dissemination and entertainment. SOCIETY is a European project co-financed under the Marie Curie Actions of the Horizon 2020 program and is one of the six projects selected in Italy by the European Commission.
