Science in the City calls it a night

-

Science in the City 2018 was another huge success as it saw around 30,000 people follow the trail from the Tritons Fountain Square to St George’s Square in the centre of Valletta, one activity at a time. Amid laughter, explosions, fire, music, science, theatre and dance, people were entertaine­d by the unexpected that engaged all the senses, in this celebratio­n of science and research. This seventh edition was also supported by the Valletta 2018 Foundation.

With over 80 researcher­s, 400 volunteers and 100 participan­ts, this EFFE (Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe) awarded national festival is truly a community event that should not be missed. “If you didn’t make it this year, we strongly suggest you block the evening of Friday, 27 September 2019. It’s going to be bigger and better than ever,” said Dr Edward Duca, Science in the City’s manager.

Science in the City − European Researcher­s’ Night festival is funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions of the Horizon 2020 Program (H2020, 2014-2020) of the EU. The con- sortium is led by the University of Malta, Malta Chamber of Scientists and the University’s Research Trust (RIDT), in partnershi­p with Valletta 2018, Parliament­ary Secretary for Financial Services, Digital Economy and Innovation, MCAST, Esplora, JUGS Ltd, GSD Marketing Ltd, Studio 7, BPC Internatio­nal, Aquabiotec­h Ltd, Meusac, PBS, Spazju Kreattiv, Pjazza Teatru Rjal, Valletta Local Council, Notte Bianca, Melita, More or Less Theatre, Transport Malta and Arts Council Malta.
