The project Researchers’ Night in Montenegro 2014-15 consisted of the continuation of its previous editions as from 2009; it was led by the same consortium composed of the Natural History Museum, the Montenegrin Science Promotion Foundation PRONA and the Ministry of Science. The main objective pursued consisted of strengthening the efforts in bridging the gaps between researchers and public at large in all its components, although a strong focus was put on young people and kids. The main events took place from the early afternoon on 25 September 2015 until the early hours of 26 September, in the Montenegrin capital, Podgorica, as well as in six smaller towns across Montenegro, namely Kotor, Nikšić, Kolašin, Bijelo Polje, Tivat and Cetinje. As for Podgorica, the main activities took place in Art Pavilion, Karver, Plaza Capital, Natural History Museum and Contemporary Art Centre (Royal's Residence Kruševac). At the Art Pavilion and Karver, 28 groups presented more than 200 hands-on experiments, robots performances, astronomical workshop, Science kindergarten, engineering students competition, science movies, inter-disciplinary discussion, science show, concert… Guided lab visits (5) were organised at University of Montenegro (Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Faculty for Civil Engeneering), Natural History Museum of Montenegro, Hydro-meteorological and Seismological Service of Montenegro and Centre for Eco-Toxicological Research, also in Podgorica. As to the smaller towns referred to above, they offered hands-on experiments and interactive presentations within various research entities (Institute for Marine Biology, Kotor, Water plant “Rada”, Bijelo Polje, Historical museum, Cetinje, Botanical Garden, Kolašin, Nautical Museum, Tivat).
