The Researchers' Night is itself a Marie Skłodowska-Curie project

The European Researchers' Night on 25 and 26 September 2026 is part of K-TRIO — Researchers in the Knowledge Triangle, a two-year project (15.04.2026 – 14.04.2028) under Horizon Europe, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and Citizens. Admission is free: 170 events at 13 venues in Sofia, Plovdiv, Stara Zagora, Yambol and Burgas.

Sofia University St Kliment Ohridski coordinates it and Forum Science Association (BG Science) leads the communication. The consortium holds 11 organisations and over 30 partners, the Ministry of Education and Science among them.

Across the two years the activities reach at least 15 towns in all six regions of the country, with events in Romania and Moldova as well. The project's motto is “Research and innovation shape our future”.
