Doctoral Candidates from the HumanIC project recently participated in the European Researchers’ Night on September 25, 2026. Funded by the European Commission, this massive annual event brings science to life by connecting researchers directly with the public. Every year on the last Friday of September, universities, museums, and research centers across Europe open their doors for free, showcasing the remarkable diversity of scientific research and its tangible impact on our daily lives.
During this time, our doctoral candidates presented their work at the following locations:
