University of Latvia

The center of the Researchers' Night will be the discussion of the great researchers of the University of Warsaw and the stories of their discoveries on the bright stage of the Research House. In other areas, LU researchers will have taken care of a diverse program so that everyone will find something interesting, unknown and useful. On this evening, researchers will allow a glimpse into their laboratories and auditoriums to show that research has different sides - you can see it in experiments and microscopes, hear it in discussions, find out in games and workshops and feel it by trying everything yourself.
