About

Researchers’ Night, an event that, for one evening, brings life to hundreds of science buildings that no ordinary mortal can enter. Visitors pass through laboratories and lecture halls, experience exploding experiments, and learn about hot topics in depth. Everyone with a passion for science – children, adults, and seniors – is welcome. Meet our scientists and they will teach you to love science.

Since 2024, the National Coordinators are the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague and Palacký University Olomouc in cooperation with Charles University, Czech Technical University, Czech University of Life Sciences and Prague University of Economics and Business. The Researcher’s Night will take place on Friday, September 27th.

What topics did we captivate you with
in previous years?

Mystery

Mysteries, puzzlements, ciphers, journeys into the unknown. Previously unknown unexplored corners, currently quite common inventions, machines and social standards. Some secrets may have remained hidden, but believe us, science is successful to step on their toes.

Czech European Researchers Night opens up new dimensions of perception, gives things a different dimension and develops all our senses.

Time

All researchers arrived on time and revealed their world of adventure to us. The time is not just a physical quantity, but it also sparks imagination and opens up a world of wonders. The event enables us to get to the bottom of relativity, ageing, immortality or evolution.

Humans and robots

Karel Čapek, robotization and social aspects of the robot world. Now we know that you don't have to be afraid of a robot, because it can be a great helper and our partner. Nevertheless, caution is warranted. And because it was the first online year, we hid the program for you in the online archive.

Going Gentle on the Planet

Nature deserves care, tenderness and love. And lots of scientific attention! Planet Earth is not just a geological object. It is a place for life and opportunities, but also folly.

100 Years of Czech Science

Not only the history of Czech science, but also the very latest scientific trends on home ground. We have proved that Czech scientists are categorically among the best in the world.

Mobility

Population movements, planetary movements, the most subtle movements hidden in DNA – these are all ways of understanding mobility. You mustn’t forget that the world is in motion and us with it.

Safety

Not every hero flies through the air or shoots from a gun. Some of them see to our safety from their labs or from behind their monitors. We looked at danger and safety in all their forms.

Light and Darkness

Contrasts accompany our lives like light and darkness. A shining sun alone in the cosmic darkness, lamps illuminating dark cities, and love as hope and disappointment in our lives.
