ACTIONS
European Researchers’ Night
Bringing Research Closer to the Public
As part of the inHos project, this initiative is holding its first edition in Picanya, transforming it into a meeting place for researchers, healthcare professionals, and the general public, showcasing how biomedical research contributes to improving people’s health, well-being, and quality of life.
Throughout the event, there will be workshops, scientific demonstrations, educational shows, and meetings with researchers, offering participants of all ages the opportunity to experience firsthand the work carried out in hospitals and research centers.
The event aims to spark interest in science, foster critical thinking, raise the profile of researchers, and strengthen the link between research, health, and society.
