The European Researchers’ Night takes place every year, on the last Friday of September[1]. It supports events that can last up to two days: they can start on Friday and continue the following day. Pre-events, prior to the main event, and related post-events, such as wrap-up meetings or small-scale follow-up events, can also be organised. It is the occasion for a Europe-wide public and media event for the promotion of research careers.
The European Researchers’ Night targets the general public, addressing and attracting people regardless of the level of their scientific background, with a special focus on young people and their families, pupils and students, and notably those who do not have easy access to, and thus are less inclined to engage in STEAM fields (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) or research activities.
European Researchers’ Night at BraČ™ov University
As every year, at the University’s Research and Development Institute, students met science and technology in one of the most anticipated events in the BraČ™ov community. Thousands of participants took part in workshops, demonstrations and unique experiments and also visited the institute’s laboratories and specially arranged stands.
The event is a good opportunity for visitors to see the different equipment used by researchers, but also some of the products they use in their research work.
AI4AGRI Research Excellence Center participated with three stands:
- Potato – the first vegetable in Space: in collaboration with our project partners – the National R&D Institute for Potato and Sugar Beet, BraČ™ov, Romania
- From light to color: experimentation with perception of color as a function of the illuminant
- Colors and their spectra: teach participants how to recognize hyperspectral signatures of colors
