Macaronight 2024 – another successful event!
Around 10000 science enthusiasts and curious minds across the Macaronesia gathered last Friday of September for Macaronight 2024, an annual event celebrating science, innovation, and research. The MacaroNight project is led by La Palma Research Centre with the help of local partners in Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands.
Held on September 27th this year, Macaronight is part of the wider European Researchers’ Night, an initiative aimed at bridging the gap between scientists and the public. The night, celebrated in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Madeira and São Miguel, was packed with interactive experiments, workshops, talks, and live demonstrations at institutions and public spaces throughout the region.
The 2024 edition continued its tradition of bringing the joy of scientific discovery to people of all ages, offering a mix of hands-on activities and scientific monologues. This year’s themes focused on climate change, restoration of oceans and waters, and transition towards healthy soils.
The realisation of Macaronight couldn’t be possible without our partners, Fundación General de la Universidad de La Laguna, Big Van Ciencia, Universidade da Madeira and Observatório do Mar dos Açores.
We can’t wait to meet you again on September 26th 2025!
