Seville celebrates for the thirteenth consecutive year La Noche Europea de l@s Investigador@s along with about 375 cities across Europe. With the aim of discovering the people behind the science that is developed in the laboratories and research centers of the city through direct contact with the experts themselves, the event will be the last Friday of September, as every year, which in this edition will be on the 27th with the novelty that most of the activities will be held at the Museum House of Science, also known as the Pavilion of Peru. A total of 75 activities have been programmed for Friday, with the participation of more than 200 researchers from various scientific institutions in the city.

The main objective of the European Researchers’ Night is to bring society and research professionals closer together, to make their daily work known and to present, in a close way, the way in which advances have an impact on the daily life of citizens. At the same time, the event is presented as a fundamental tool to awaken scientific vocations in young people and to promote research as a professional career.
Antonia Jiménez, from the UPO, stressed that “on this occasion our University brings the research results of 66 researchers from all branches of knowledge, with activities for all ages, full of knowledge and enthusiasm”. Under the slogan ‘Women and men who do science for you’, one more year Seville joins, along with the rest of Andalusian provinces, this great date with science promoted by the European Commission and organized by a total of 13 public scientific institutions throughout the community under the coordination of Fundación Descubre and the support of the Health Service of the City of Seville.
This edition of La Noche Europea de l@s investigador@s provisionally leaves its main location in the Plaza Nueva and the headquarters of the Cajasol Foundation due to improvement works in this location, to hold the event at the Casa de la Ciencia Museum in Seville. An open space for scientific dissemination, educational and cultural leisure for all citizens. It belongs to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) which also has permanent exhibitions.
Thus, from 17.00 until 23.00 hours will be held in this new enclave talks, workshops, guided tours, scientific games, exhibitions and shows for children and adults in this space that last year was the venue for the activities scheduled by the CSIC for the event.
In this sense, the Pablo de Olavide University has programmed 19 activities including practical workshops and activities, among which the INCASI2 project has participated.
Two exhibitions, one that will show the phenomenon of human trafficking and its link with mobility, specifically of women, and another that will show how socioeconomic inequalities are studied and measured in an international comparative perspective between Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the guided tour ‘Walking between the Tagarete stream and the Guadalquivir River. From the Casa de la Ciencia to the Torre del Oro’, are other activities offered by the Olavide.
In addition to the activities held at the Casa de la Ciencia, the Uruguay Pavilion will also host the play ‘Mujeres y poder en la Antigüedad. Theatrical representation of The Assembly of Women, by Aristophanes’.
