Science at Your Fingertips: The Significance of the European Researchers’ Night in Frascati
On October 2, 2024, Avithrapid was introduced to the scientific community and the public during the European Researchers’ Night in Frascati, Rome. This event, part of the Science Week that began on September 21st, featured a multitude of activities across partner cities and in Frascati itself, where the streets, schools, and historic sites were awash in magenta, symbolizing a passion for knowledge.
This year, thanks to a resolution by the Municipality of Frascati, Frascati Scienza was granted access to the so-called “Valadier Walls”—nine rooms located in the historical heart of the city. This choice of evocative settings aims to bridge the past and future, connecting research with the everyday lives of people.
Science Isn’t Just for Researchers
Researchers’ Night provides a unique opportunity to demonstrate how science impacts every aspect of our daily lives, addressing our curiosities and the challenges of our time. It’s essential that events like this are not confined to laboratories or academic circles but occur in community-accessible spaces where everyone can feel involved.
Connecting Avithrapid with the Public
Introducing Avithrapid in this context is not only a chance to showcase scientific advancements but also to directly engage with the public, gathering feedback and explaining the significance of new discoveries. Direct feedback from participants helps better guide future research and understand which aspects of science garner more interest or need further clarification.
Looking Forward
We remain committed to making science accessible to all, promoting an informative and constructive dialogue. Researchers’ Night is just one example of how we can make scientific knowledge a common good, crucial for societal progress.
