Dynamic communication of science at Researchers' Night

Drinking water from drops in the atmosphere, Viking relics from Mývatnssveit, training the taste buds, nature treatment in Social Work, the use of condoms among teenage boys, and pollutants in mussels and crabs are among the many subjects that scientists and students at the University of Iceland will present at the Researchers’ Night on Friday 28 September between 4.30 and 10 P.M. The European Researchers' Night is held simultaneously in many European Cities to show science and the scientists behind the research in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere to the general public, and to raise awareness of the work of researchers and their contribution to contemporary society. 

A special focus is given to families and young people, that might consider a career in science. European Researchers' Night is funded by the European Commission and organised in over 300 towns and cities all over Europe.

The Researchers' Night was last held in Iceland four years ago and University students and staff have from the very beginning been active participants in this event, presenting their research and projects in a dynamic and interactive manner.  This will also be the case this year so everyone ought to find something interesting at the University of Iceland's booths and stations in Laugardalshöll.  

The European Researchers' Night is open to all and entry is free of charge.
