The European Researchers' Night (ERN) 2022 and 2023 includes the Researchers@Schools Program in which Schools of the Coimbra region are invited to receive researchers from the University of Coimbra (UC) and together develop small research projects on topics related to Inclusion and/or Sustainability. All schools inserted in this program are denominated SCIEVER Schools. With this initiative, students have the opportunity to experience research guided by UC researchers.
The research projects and their teams will be presented during the "Science Route" of the Coimbra ERN 2022; developed during the academic year 2022/2023 and the results and conclusions presented at Coimbra ERN 2023. The projects will be evaluated by a jury composed of researchers from the University of Coimbra and teachers from SCIEVER Schools.
The winning students of the best project, more aligned with Equality, Equity and Diversity values, will have the opportunity to do a research internship at UC.
There are six schools in the region of Coimbra involved in the Researchers@Schools Program:
