The Community of Madrid celebrates the 17th edition of the European Researchers' Night on September 25th, an initiative spanning 40 countries, offering over 180 free scientific activities in the region.

Organized by research centers, universities, and scientific associations, including the Madrid Institutes for Advanced Studies (IMDEA), the event aims to inspire scientific vocations and bring researchers' work closer to society. The program features interactive workshops, demonstrations, concerts, and plays designed to make science accessible to everyone.
Starting Monday, September 14th, interested individuals can reserve spots for various fun and scientific activities. The Foundation for Knowledge madri+d coordinates this event, in collaboration with Madrid universities, CSIC institutes, and IMDEA institutes.
Highlights include the 'water detectives' activity by IMDEA Water, human body exploration by the Autonomous University of Madrid, material cooking with the Complutense University of Madrid, and science by land, sea, and air with the Rey Juan Carlos University. The Círculo de Bellas Artes (CBA) will also host activities organized by Fundación madri+d.
The event will open with the play “Dare to Know” and conclude with an open science fair. Free registration is available through the website www.madrimasd.org/lanochedelosinvestigadores.
