The European Researchers’ Night is a European public event that showcases the various facets of science and how it influences the everyday lives of citizens, presented in enjoyable and inspiring ways.

This event occurred simultaneously in 26 countries on Friday, 29th September 2023.

The European Researchers’ Night aims to bring research and researchers closer to the public, highlight outstanding research projects in Europe and beyond, cultivate young people’s interest in science and research careers, and demonstrate the tangible impact of researchers’ efforts on people’s daily lives.

Every year, the European Researchers’ Night attracts over 1 million attendees from Europe and other parts of the world.

During the Ancona event, organised by the Marche Polytechnic University, the Recovery Fun project gained high visibility. We conducted a short interview with Dr Valentina Tombolesi, who sum up the project.
