The European Researchers’ Night is an initiative funded by the European Commission, through Marie Curie Actions, aiming to celebrate Science and reduce the gap between researchers and citizens. The European Researchers’ Night translates into a series of activities happening throughout the year culminating in a night of celebration of Science, taking place in several European cities.
How can Science contribute to the knowledge about the causes and effects of climate change and to climate neutrality by 2050?
The European Researchers’ Night 2021 (ERN2021) will take place on 24th September across Europe. The consortium’s activities, such as lectures, workshops, among others, under the theme “Climate Science“, will take place from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., in a hybrid format, i.e., with reduced face-to-face activities and a parallel programme fully online.
Técnico will participate in the activities organised by the consortium partners, lead by Universidade de Lisboa, through MUHNAC (Museum of Natural History and Science), under the SCICLI (Science for Climate) project.
Técnico will participate in the following activities:
- “Understanding the risks is key to preparedness.” | Game, Apps and Challenges
