Festival
About us
European Researcher's Night is the biggest science festival in Slovakia, and it brings news from the world of research and innovation in an inspiring and unique way. The new name continues the successful tradition of Researchers' Night events.
The festival is traditionally held on the last Friday of September in Bratislava, Košice, Banská Bystrica, Žilina, Poprad, and other accompanying locations. The day-long program (9 am to 11 pm) offers a series of scientific presentations, discussions, practical experiments, workshops, technological attractions, and digital activities.
The European Researcher’s Night is not just a one-day event but opens the door to discovering new horizons, establishing relationships, and participating in discussions that shape the future. Whether you are a student, a professional, or a science enthusiast, this is the night for you.
Science is not just a matter of laboratories and research centers; it is also a part of our daily lives and a critical factor in finding answers to the most significant challenges we face as humanity. The support and development of science is essential for the future of our society and our planet. The festival is part of a pan-European initiative supported by the European Commission since 2006. More than 25 countries and 300 European cities are involved throughout Europe. The festival attracts more than 1.5 million people every year. This year, we are organizing the 18th year of the event in Slovakia, and we plan to continue the initiative in the following years.
You will experience:
- Practical lectures
- Discussions
- Workshops
- Competitions
- Exhibitions and technological attractions
- Scientific experiments
In addition to the main program in the festival cities, the event includes several accompanying events and activities on the day of the event, as well as before and after.
The project is co-financed by the European Commission, i.e., the European program to support innovation research – Horizon Europe – MSCA.

Goal
The idea of the event is to present technological achievements and innovative solutions that not only make our lives easier and more pleasant but, above all, help to reverse the unfavorable trends of global development.
Vision
The creation of a scientifically literate society in which science is not only part of academic institutions but is accepted and celebrated by the public. A company in which a culture of curiosity and lifelong learning is built. Creation of lasting connections and cooperation between researchers, innovators, state administration, private sector, and population.
Mission
Organizing interactive activities, exhibitions, discussions, and hands-on experiences, the event seeks to break down barriers and demystify the world of science. Inspiring a new generation of researchers through the impact and significance of scientific progress in various fields.

Behavioral and learning disorders. How can we help our children?
Do you have a child at home who distracts classmates with his behavior at school or kindergarten or disrupts the teaching process when interacting with the teacher? Is he unfocused, inattentive, aggressive, and does he not learn alone? Why do behavioral disorders appear (not only) in children? Why do some of them have trouble reading or counting? How can we work with learning disabilities? We will find answers to these questions in Science in the CENTER on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. in CVTI SR on Lamačská cesta 8A in Bratislava. Our guest will be PhDr. Eva Smiková, PhD., from the Research Institute of Child Psychology and Pathopsychology.
Lecturer:
PhDr. Eva Smiková, PhD., graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy of the Comenius University in Bratislava, majoring in psychology. He works at the Research Institute of Child Psychology and Pathopsychology, where he is engaged in scientific research, mainly in the prevention of risky behavior, aggression, bullying, and cyberbullying.
The lecture will be streamed at the same time, and a recording of it will later be available on YouTube CVTI SR. If you are interested in this topic, send your questions to ncpvat@cvtisr.sk by March 26, 2024.
