Countdown to the European Researchers' Night

Versione stampabile

All eyes on Trento on Friday 29 September at the MUSE science museum, starting at 5 pm, as the city celebrates the European Researchers’ Night with 52 other Italian cities.

With 62 science booths, 15 open lectures, 8 dinners-with-the-scientist and other events, the Researcher’s Night is back to make guests stay up late with local researchers from the University of Trento, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Fondazione Edmund Mach and MUSE – Science Museum.

The purpose of the Researchers' Night is to give citizens and local communities the opportunity to meet with researchers, learn about their passion for science, the motivation that inspires them, the methods they use, and the results they achieve.

This year's special guest is Wolfgang Ketterle, Nobel prize laureate in physics, who will entertain the audience with interesting experiments and tell about his work on cold atoms with temperatures close to absolute zero.

The Researchers’ Night, that will take place in Trento, is organized by the University of Trento, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Fondazione Edmund Mach and MUSE Science museum, with the Autonomous Province of Trento and the patronage of the Municipality of Trento.
