This year the Researchers’ night takes place on the 23rd of September in over 800 venues of 320 European cities in 32 countries. During the night everyone, regardless of his/her age and scientific background, can explore the mysterious world of science: visit the facilities that are usually not open to public, use the most recent technologies and instruments, participate in experiments and simulations, etc. In Estonian, the Researchers’ Night is organized by AHHAA Science Centre, Estonian Academy of Sciences and Estonian Public Broadcasting.
The EMU opens its laboratories on the campus for the general public from 18 till 22. It is possible to see how tar is made, or how motors work on bioethanol, visit the animal clinic and skeleton museum. It is possible to make milk products in the micro-diary. PhD students make experiments, e.g. show how to recognize different trees on the basis of their growth and get to know tree fungi. Visits are also made to Märja loose housing cow-shed to see how milking robots work.
