At the turn of September and October, the public gets a unique opportunity to penetrate the otherwise inaccessible premises of scientific institutes and laboratories. Also, the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences invites all those interested for excursions to the facilities Na Slovance, in Cukrovarnická in Střešovice and in Dolní Břežany to experience the unique atmosphere of the night hours and to get to know the people who live for science.
You can see laboratories where top-class science is being performed with your own eyes. We have prepared tours with experiments into our laboratories which are suitable for families with children, interactive exhibits and workshops for older ones, lectures and discussions with scientists for the general public or specialized programme for university students.
In 2020, the Researcher’s Night was organized online on November 27 due to the epidemiological situation. The Institute of Physics prepared over twenty activities for this occasion. Followers from the whole Czech Republic could have tried them on their devices remotely. Part of them is still available (some of them are only in Czech):
Detailed information about the Researcher’s Night is available at the national website www.noc-vedcu.cz; national Facebook at www.facebook.com/nocvedcuoficial. The programme of the last Researcher’s Night at the Institute of Physics is available here.
