Exploring Science, Technology and Art

#ERN2022 Photo Competition

 

The European Commission started the European Researchers’ Night in 2005 and its mission is to show that science is not dull, but on the contrary, is a source of interesting and fascinating phenomena.

With the #ERN2022 Photo Competition we aim to celebrate science, technology and art in the most creative way. The most eclectic mix of ideas, disciplines and perspectives creates the most far-reaching conversations, in-depth debates, and inspiring developments.

Whether you’re a student, teacher, artist, scientist, engineer, designer, or educator – join the challenge and share your creativity!
