ProgrammesThe 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.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
