The Researchers' Night is an initiative promoted by the European Commission since 2005 that involves thousands of researchers and research institutions in all European countries every year. The goal is to create opportunities for meetings between the world of research and the public to spread scientific culture and knowledge of the research professions in an informal and stimulating context. Events include live science experiments and demonstrations, exhibitions and guided tours, educational lectures and seminars, shows and concerts.
 
ISM actively participates in the European Researchers' Night with initiatives in various locations, aimed at making the public aware of the research activities of ISM and their possible applications. This action is based on the realization that in order for publicly funded research to be promoted and financed, it requires the support of the public and their participation in the challenges and progress of science.
