On 24th September the European Research Night was held in more than 300 cities in 30 different countries with the aim of getting research closer to the general public through a range of activities.
This initiative, led by the European Commission, was coordinated in Catalonia by the Catalan Association for Scientific Communication and the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), among others, and included face-to-face and online activities.
