Mediterranean Researchers' Night - MEDNIGHT objective is to generate a Mediterranean unity, providing awareness about common problems, fostering scientific careers, reinforcing researchers’ commitment and progress, and putting science and scientists at the cornerstone of our future and a relevant matter. MEDNIGHT shows the attractiveness and importance of the researchers’ work and professions to the general public, and specially for girls and boys, carrying out a series of activities framed under the common umbrella of what we have come to call “Mediterranean Science” placing particular emphasis on youngsters and female researchers and showing the potential of R&D as a source of progress and well-being.
