About

Researchers’ Night, an event that, for one evening, brings life to hundreds of science buildings that no ordinary mortal can enter. Visitors pass through laboratories and lecture halls, experience exploding experiments, and learn about hot topics in depth. Everyone with a passion for science – children, adults, and seniors – is welcome. Meet our scientists and they will teach you to love science.

in previous years?

Time

All researchers arrived on time and revealed their world of adventure to us. The time is not just a physical quantity, but it also sparks imagination and opens up a world of wonders. The event enables us to get to the bottom of relativity, ageing, immortality or evolution.

Nevertheless, caution is warranted. And because it was the first online year, we hid the program for you in the online archive.

Safety

Not every hero flies through the air or shoots from a gun. Some of them see to our safety from their labs or from behind their monitors. We looked at danger and safety in all their forms.

Light and Darkness

Contrasts accompany our lives like light and darkness. A shining sun alone in the cosmic darkness, lamps illuminating dark cities, and love as hope and disappointment in our lives.
