The EC has recently issued a call for proposals for the Marie Curie “Researchers’ Night” scheme for 2009. Researchers’ Night funds events across Europe which involve a range of research organisations, including universities, museums, and laboratories.

Researchers’ Nights are primarily about engaging the public with research. The aim “is to give the public, and in particular young people, the opportunity to meet researchers within the context of festive and ‘fun’ activities and to highlight the appeal of pursuing a research career.”

You can find the call documents on CORDIS. The deadline for submissions is 14th January 2008. Please get in touch with the Research Office if you are interested in applying to this scheme.
