Cancerforskaren Rezan Güler från KTH är svensk mästare i att presentera sin forskning. Det avgjordes under tisdagseftermiddagen då den nationella finalen av Forskar Grand Prix gick av stapeln i Stockholm.
Nervösa forskare, en förväntansfull publik och en skärpt jury fyllde lokalen till bredden när det var dags för Forskar Grand Prix under årets ForskarFredag på Kreativum Science Center i Karlshamn. Att på ett tilltalande och begripligt sätt berätta om flera års avancerad forskning är ingen lätt uppgift, men denna eftermiddag var det tre modiga forskare som tog sig an utmaningen.
Researchers in 29 Swedish cities shared their passion for research and science at this year’s European Researchers’ Night celebrations. The annual Europe-wide science festival, in 2018 held on 28 & 29 September, featured activities in over 370 cities in Europe.
Den 28-29 september arrangerades ForskarFredag i hela Sverige. Aktiviteterna lockade över 17 000 besökare och engagerade fler än 550 forskare. ForskarFredag riktar ett stort tack till alla arrangörer, forskare, besökare och samarbetspartners!
If one day of ForskarFredag is not enough for you, this year, for the first time, the event will be extended to Saturday. Three different activities will take place in Stockholm on 29 September: FysikFest, Biomedicum Open House and Day of Astronomy.
ForskarFredag, a part of European Researchers’ Night, for the first time will be extended to Saturday. On 29 September, three separate events will take place in Stockholm. One of them will take place at Biomedicum, Karolinska Institutet’s new research laboratory. It is opening its doors on Saturday 29th at 11:00 for everyone interested.
Every year since 2006, during the last Friday of September, ForskarFredag has been organised throughout Sweden. It has become an annual tradition that is growing bigger. Last year, almost 15,000 visitors participated in the event. This year, to meet the high demand and bring research even closer to the public, ForskarFredag in Stockholm will be extended to Saturday as well.
Two days of exploration and discovery await visitors in 28 cities across Sweden at this year’s European Researchers’ Night on 28 and 29 September. Part of Europe’s largest science festival, members of public and pupils are invited to find out more about the amazing research that is transforming our everyday lives – and meet the researchers behind it.
Summer is already over and the nights are getting longer. However, one of them will be very special this Autumn. On Friday 28 September, it’s European Researchers’ Night.
