TwInn4MicroUp at Researcher’s Night
The European Researchers’ Night is the largest annual science outreach event in Europe, celebrating scientific achievements across the continent. Each year, universities and research institutes open their doors to the public, showcasing their work through presentations, experiments, games, discussions, and other interactive activities. In 2024, the TwInn4MicroUp project was featured in Athens (Greece), Bari (Italy), and Belgrade (Serbia).
This year’s event focused on the following areas:
- Tackling the climate crisis with social participation and innovation
- Green, blue and digital transition
- Sustainability – circular economy – sustainable mobility – health – accessibility- quality of life
We had an incredible time on this year’s Researchers’ Night. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the public and share our passion for biotechnology and sustainability. Visitors explored our mission to tackle plastic pollution through microbial innovations, sparking inspiring conversations.
Our interactive stands showcased the TwInn4MicroUp project, which transforms plastic waste into valuable bioproducts using innovative microbial technologies. Visitors got a glimpse of our cutting-edge research and learned how biotechnology can help address environmental challenges like plastic pollution and promote a circular economy.
We were thrilled to see so many curious minds eager to engage with our work! The thought-provoking questions and meaningful discussions about the future of sustainability were truly inspiring. It was especially rewarding to see the enthusiasm of young participants, whose excitement for science reminds us why events like Researchers’ Night are so important.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited our stand. Your interest and support energize our commitment to creating impactful solutions for a greener, more sustainable future. Events like this highlight the power of connecting science with society and encourage collective action toward addressing global challenges.
Stay tuned as we continue this journey of discovery and innovation. Together, we can build a future where science and sustainability go hand in hand.
