#ERN 2023 Photo Competition
The European Commission started the European Researchers’ Night in 2005 and its mission is to show that science is not dull, but on the contrary, is a source of interesting and fascinating phenomena.
With the #ERN2023 Photo Competition, we aim to celebrate science, technology and art in the most creative way. The most eclectic mix of ideas, disciplines and perspectives creates the most far-reaching conversations, in-depth debates, and inspiring developments.
Whether you’re a student, teacher, artist, scientist, engineer, designer, or educator – join the challenge and share your creativity!
The European Researchers’ Night 2023 will happen on September 29, 2023, and it will take place in different cities in Portugal – Braga, Coimbra, Lisboa and Évora. In Braga, it will happen at Altice Fórum Braga. This year’s theme is Science for Everyone – Sustainability and Inclusion.
Now is the time to showcase the creative side of science. The #ERN2023PhotoCompetition is an open competition and everyone is encouraged to submit up to two original photographs in the following category:
→ ‘Science for Everyone – Sustainability and Inclusion’ (nano/micro images obtained through microscopes, images related to the labs, setups, sample preparation, simulations, everyday life related to science, etc.)
Your talent and unique visualisations are honoured and celebrated. Whether you’re a student, teacher, artist, scientist, engineer, designer, or educator – join the challenge and share your creativity!
