"The 2010 HEURECA Researchers' night will build upon the experience the consortium gained in organizing the event in the previous years. It will actually consist of a further expanded version of the previous events.Partnership will be enlarged by 3 new cooperating bodies joining the 18 experienced partners, and possibly by several non profit organisations and companies having already expressed their interest in participating in the project.The messages conveyed will relate to the fully human yet important figure of the researcher carrying out work to the benefit of the society, underlining also the important asset represented by science.A broad range of ""edutainment"" activities will be offered, some of them being linked to the central theme of the year of biodiversity.The events will take place in 19 towns, covering most part of the Hungarian territory, on 24th September 2010. Most programmes will take place from late Friday afternoon until the early hours of Saturday, with some exceptions regarding specific programmes addressing school children starting earlier.The programme of activities, covering over 600 different activities through all venues, will offer the visitors a broad range of hands-on experiments, demos, shows, guided visits, etc., allowing the public at large to enjoy themselves regardless of age or scientific background and to get directly in touch with the researchers hosting the activities of the night."
