A call for project proposals to fund science outreach events during the European Researchers’ Night is open until 12 January 2021 under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie NIGHT call 2020.

This is an opportunity to bring researchers closer to the general public and to increase awareness of research and innovation activities by:

• Supporting the public recognition of researchers
• Showcasing the impact of researchers’ work on people’s daily lives
• Encouraging young people to follow research careers.

The call makes available €8 million and will finance events taking place in European cities on 24 September 2021. Activities can combine education aspects with entertainment, especially when addressing young audiences. They can take various forms, e.g. hands-on experiments, science shows, simulations, debates, games, competitions, quizzes, etc.
