Get ready for a night full of scientific discoveries, innovation and fun! The European Researchers'Night is a unique event that is held simultaneously in more than 400 cities across Europe. One more time, CaixaForum Valencia participates in this project in order to bring science and research closer through free activities for both families and adults..
The European Research Night is a unique opportunity to interact directly with scientists and discover how science influences our daily lives.. Discover, explore and interact through hands-on workshops, inspiring talks, interactive experiments, guided tours… It is an event for all audiences, students, educators, families, teachers and anyone interested in the world of science and research.
What awaits you?

Remote-controlled sounds workshop: what is sound? When they hit something, why can I hear it from far away? Could we hear if there was no air? We perceive the sound of the world around us thanks to the medium that allows it to propagate, the air, even if we don't realize it's there; in addition to helping us breathe, allows us to hear. In this activity we will explore how sound propagates through space and through different media., through experiments and gadgets to transmit and observe vibrations.
At 17, 18 y 19 h
Storyteller: 'A story about strange people'. By Carlos Romá Mateo, of the Network Biomedical Research Center (CYBER) of Rare Diseases of the University of Valencia. This is the story of a group of strange people. But be careful, not 'rare' in the sense of being strange, peculiar or different. Rare like four-leaf clovers or melon-flavored gum; there are not many, and when you find them, they catch your attention.
