European Researchers' Night - September 26th, 2026

Another year the group has participated at the European Researchers' Night, which is held the last Friday of September. 

Like previous editions, the Museum organized a gymkhana for kids, where the scientists explained their research with games and similar activities. 🏛️​ 

Our booth had different stations, where kids discovered how small is the microbial world, the diversity of microorganisms and where they live, and why antibiotics are important. 🦠

It was a night full of big questions by small people. ​🧒​​👧​
