European Researchers' Night 2026 — Cyprus (CELEBRATE 2.0)

European Researchers' Night 2026 returns to the Cyprus State Fair (Halls A & B), Nicosia on Friday 25 September 2026, running from 08:30 through to 22:00. The Cyprus edition is organised by the Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF) together with organisations from across the island's research and innovation ecosystem, and is funded by the European Commission. This year marks the initiative's 20th anniversary, under the theme "CELEBRATE 2.0 – Two Decades of STEAM-Powered Inspiration". What's on:

• 75+ interactive stands staffed by researchers, scientists, academics and R&I organisations.
• 80+ hands-on activities — experiments, live demonstrations, workshops, games, quizzes, simulations and competitions.
• Science Unfold 2026, the pupils' competition, on the theme "STEAMing Through Time! How research and innovation changed our world".
• Robotics and engineering demos from the ecosystem, including the Cyprus Computer Society's EnviroBot.
• An Artistic Creation Activity and the Researchers in Schools programme for 2026-2027.

The programme is aimed at families, students and anyone curious about science and technology; parts of the day are also streamed on the organisers' YouTube channel.
