Interact with researchers who inspire you, and challenge our views.
There is plenty to discover outside the Atomium throughout the day. During interactive talks and scientific demonstrations, researchers bring their work to life and invite you to explore the questions that drive their research.
Meet inspiring scientists during “Meet Today’s Marie Curie” and talk to researchers supported by the Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions and other European research programmes. They will introduce their projects, share their experiences and talk about their careers, discoveries and the challenges of scientific research.
Ask your questions, discover what researchers are working on today and enjoy a varied programme filled with science, experiments and inspiring encounters for curious visitors of all ages.
Researchers who were granted Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) funding, European Research Council (ERC) grants or other European financing will share their experience and answer questions about their scientific projects.
