On September 25, 2026, research left the laboratories and reached the general public directly during the 2026 European Researchers’ Night, held simultaneously in Chișinău and Bălți. For one evening, the two locations became spaces for curiosity, experimentation, and direct dialogue with researchers. In Chișinău, hundreds of students, young people, and families gathered in the park of the Technical University of Moldova, where the public could explore over 35 booths and approximately 150 interactive exhibits. The program included demonstrations and experiments, RoboBattle and LEGO Robot SUMO

A new school year begins with questions, curiosity and a desire to discover. Starting September 1, the Sci-TRUST project is launching the drawing contest “Through a Child's Eyes: the Researcher”, open to children and teenagers aged 7 to 17 in the Republic of Moldova. What does a researcher look like in a child’s imagination? Perhaps they work in a lab, study nature, build robots, explore space or seek solutions to the problems that affect our daily lives. Through this contest, we invite children to express their own vision of the researcher’s job and how scientists and their work change our
