The European Researchers’ Night is the largest science outreach event in Europe. The 2024 edition takes place on 27 September. In 2024 and 2025, 58 projects will run events in 25 countries.

Universities and research institutes across Europe will open their doors and share their work through presentations, experiments, games, discussions and other interactive formats. It’s your chance to go behind the scenes, meet researchers from your area and discover how the seemingly abstract world of science is already affecting your everyday life. 

In the Brussels Capital-Region on 27 and 28 September WiseNight will take place. On Friday, you will have a chance to engage with researchers and learn more about their work in the Planetarium. On Saturday, all activities will take place in the Museum of Natural Sciences. The event is open to all and free of charge.

Since 2022, there is a new format in town! Researchers at Schools brings leading scientists into the classroom and pupils to the lab. It complements the European Researchers’ Night and is run by the same organisers. The difference is that the activities take place throughout the year. They are specifically aimed at little researchers-to-be.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
