The European Commission started the European Researchers' Night in 2005 and its mission is to show that science is not dull but, on the contrary, is a source of interesting and fascinating phenomena.

With the #ERN2023 Photo Contest, they aim to celebrate science, technology and art in the most creative way. The most eclectic mix of ideas, disciplines and perspectives creates the most wide-ranging conversations, in-depth debates and inspiring developments. Whether you're a student, teacher, artist, scientist, engineer, designer or educator - join the challenge and share your creativity!
