2011/09 - 2012/09 | I was involved in the activities developed by the Science Museum, University of Coimbra for the Europeans Researchers' Night.
The European Researchers' Night, funded under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions (MSCA), is a Europe-wide public event that
brings researchers closer to the public. The Night provides researchers the opportunity to showcase the diversity of science
and its impact on citizens’ daily lives, and to stimulate interest in research careers – especially among young people.
