The municipality of Armamar, located in the Douro region of Portugal, hosts the 4th edition of the European Researchers' Night, an event that mobilises 111 scientists from 30 national and international entities. The event transforms this rural territory into a large space for experimentation, dialogue and scientific participation, defying the traditional geography of science by taking research out of major urban centres.
The initiative features the participation of forty Science Stations and covers dozens of areas of knowledge, creating a diverse environment for science outreach. Entry to the event is free, allowing broad access for the population to the proposed activities.
The event positions Armamar as a territory that defies the conventional geography of science, demonstrating that research and scientific outreach can flourish in rural contexts. This edition represents the largest mobilisation ever undertaken under this initiative in the municipality.
