European Researchers’ Night takes place annually with the aim of bringing researchers closer to the general public. It is one of the most well-known public engagement events in Europe and is hosted in universities, science centres, museums and research institutes. European Researchers’ Night has been running for more than 10 years and events have taken place in almost 300 locations around Europe. By the end of 2017, the European Commission will have invested in excess of €40 million worth of funding in this initiative.

This session will highlight key learnings from the past decade of events and facilitate a discussion among attendees on how to ensure best practice for future events. Event organisers from several countries will briefly comment on their experience of Researchers’ Night, its importance to “Life Everywhere” as well as the biggest challenges they have encountered and their greatest learnings.
