The “Researcher’s Night,” organized for the twelfth consecutive year by the National Technical University of Athens, was successfully completed on Friday, September 26, 2025, with broad public participation.

For the first time, the event was organized and held at the facilities of National Technical University of Athens in Zografou, with the aim of attracting even more citizens and young people in order to highlight the innovative efforts of researchers from all institutions in Attica and to involve them in research projects and scientific and technological innovation.

The event lasted from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. In the area in front of the NTUA Central Library, thousands of visitors watched presentations and experiments, toured laboratories, and learned about research projects and innovative applications.

A total of 245 fully equipped exhibition spaces were made available and organized, where experiments, high-tech applications, artificial intelligence projects, and scientific arsenals were presented. The event was attended by research teams from the National Technical University of Athens, universities and research centers in Attica, start-ups, techno-clusters, collaborating organizations, and sponsors. There was also a live link to CERN, which attracted a lot of interest.

The Laboratory of Industrial and Energy Economics (LIEE) of the National Technical University of Athens actively participated in the event, with the aim of informing the public about its operation, research programs, and initiatives. The laboratory team, led by Professor Angelos Tsakanikas, welcomed visitors, presented selected research results, and answered visitors’ questions about research applications in industry, energy, and innovative solutions and collaborations.

The evening was filled with enthusiasm, discussions, and lively interest in research. The participation of the public strengthened the connection between the academic community and society and highlighted the contribution of researchers to progress and innovation.
