European Researchers Night
For all the Curious
Contrary to what the name suggests, this night is not by and for the researchers, but intended for all curious Groningen residents.
On Friday 29 September, European Researchers’ Night will be organized across Europe to celebrate and question science. Everyone who is curious is welcome at the European Researchers’ Night, a festive and versatile science festival held in Forum Groningen.
Jacquelien Scherpen, the new Rector of the University of Groningen, will open the festival, together with science rappers Daisy Veenstra – a.k.a. Daisz – and Jon Chase. New Scientist’s Jim Jansen will host three interactive science shows including music, Bab Ad-Daar is going to dance and several researchers will be competing against each other in the silent disco science battle. Make your own deepfake video or play AI Bingo at the AI Lab, taste the food of the future, have a conversation with a robot, come to know everything about the first electric car, or create a stop-motion film based on your dreams.
You can find the full program on the site! Will you listen, chat, experiment, explore, and quiz with us on Friday evening of 29 September? Tickets cost only € 7,50 and for every ticket, you get two consumption coins.
The European Researchers Night is co-funded by the European Commission, under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.
There are no new dates planned (yet) for European Researchers Night.

About the Groningen Science Weekend
The last weekend of September is all about science in Groningen. The weekend starts on Friday 29 September with the European Night of Researchers in Forum Groningen. Contrary to what the name suggests, this night is not by and for the researchers, but intended for all curious Groningen residents. Between 7.30 pm and 12 am, Forum Groningen will be transformed into a science festival full of science comedy, discussions, mini-lectures, music and experiments.
On Saturday 30 September and Sunday 1 October it is time again for Zpannend Zernike, the annual free science festival for primary school children. On Saturday 30 September you will find Zpannend Zernike at various locations in the city center and on Sunday 1 October you can go to the Zernike Campus to get started with science.
