On 24 and 25 September 2026, SHARPER – European Researchers’ Night – returns to Genoa with a packed programme of events designed to bring research out of the laboratories and encourage engagement with the public.

The centrepiece of the Genoa programme will be Thursday 24 September, at the Giardini Luzzati, featuring workshops, experiments, demonstrations, games and talks aimed at people of all ages and covering a wide range of research fields.

The events will continue on Friday 25 September, the official date of European Researchers’ Night.

Two days to meet researchers, gain an insight into their work and discover the questions, methods and results of research through hands-on experiences and opportunities for dialogue.
