European Researchers’ Night is an annual event that opens the doors of science to all – especially to the youngest. Across many European cities, streets and public spaces come alive with experiments, workshops, and demonstrations. Organized under the auspices of the European Commission and as part of the Horizon Europe program, the event has one clear mission: to make science accessible, engaging, and inspiring for everyone.
Science That Inspires and Entertains
During the Researchers’ Night, children and young people have the chance to meet scientists, ask questions, and explore how the world around them works. Venues are filled with interactive experiments and scientific surprises, showing that science is not just a “difficult subject” in textbooks – it is alive, creative, and part of everyday life.
An Investment in the Future
Researchers’ Night is more than a one-day event. It is an investment in the future, especially at a time when critical thinking and trust in science are more important than ever. When children see that science can be creative, fun, and useful, they are inspired to dream bigger – perhaps of a future career in science, engineering, or technology.
IQ UP! nurtures exactly that spirit: creating an environment where curiosity is welcomed, and learning is filled with joy and discovery.
IQ UP! – Where Science Meets Children’s Curiosity
At IQ UP!, every class is an opportunity for children to explore science in their own way. Through questions, experiments, and activities based on the STEM methodology – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – they learn to search for solutions, test ideas, and discover new perspectives. Instead of seeing science as something distant or difficult, students experience it as an adventure, where every discovery brings excitement and inspiration.
This approach cultivates curiosity and critical thinking – values that IQ UP! encourages in children every day.
Conclusion
European Researchers’ Night serves as a bridge between science and citizens, inspiring the next generation of thinkers, innovators, and creators. IQ UP! continues this mission by making learning interactive, fun, and meaningful for every child. Science doesn’t have to remain hidden in books and laboratories – it can be part of play, curiosity, and everyday questions. That is where the future begins.
