European Researchers’ Night – 30 September 2022
This year’s European Researchers’ Night will take place on Friday 30 September 2022 in 25 countries.
The aims of the event are to bring researchers closer to the general public and to increase public awareness of research and innovation activities with a view to supporting the public recognition of research and innovation activities, to creating an understanding of the impact of researchers’ work on citizens’ daily lives and to encouraging young people to embark on research careers.
The event is therefore particularly aimed at young people and their families.
The organisers of these events always seek the involvement of researchers funded by H2020 and Horizon Europe, including the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA).
The participation of the GRAPES fellows in the event is therefore strongly encouraged. The link European Researchers’ Night includes the websites of each organisers that the fellow can contact directly and offer his/her participation.

Shahroz Khan (U. Strathclyde, ESR10) has reeived an Honourable Mention Award for his research at the Doctoral Researcher Awards (DRA 2022) competition. Congratulations Shahroz!
