The Researchers' Night is a Europe-wide event bringing together the public at large and researchers once a year on the fourth Friday of September. It offers the opportunity to discover research facilities that are usually not open to public (laboratories, research centres, museum collections ), use the most recent technologies and instruments with the guidance of scientists, participate in experiments, competitions and quizzes, watch demonstrations and simulations, exchange ideas and party with the researchers.
For one night, everyone can be a scientist. The 2010 edition of the Researchers' Night will take place on 24 September in over 600 venues of 250 European cities in 33 countries. Here is a link to a video of an interview that I made during the events organized at the University of Ferrara (in Italian)
