ABOUT

About Us

Science in the City (SitC) Festival turns TEN! For 10 years, it has been building bridges between researchers, artists and the community to organise a magical night in Valletta and now in a Hybrid format. This festival is part of European Researchers’ Night which takes place on the same night/s in over 300 cities throughout Europe. With over 30,000 visitors every year (pre-covid), and 20,000 views in the online festival, it is a fantastic opportunity for scientists, artists and citizens to collaborate and get creative. Every SitC looks for new and exciting ways to engage citizens with science and the arts. Dazzling art pieces, inspired by Malta’s most relevant research, have become synonymous with the festival’s magenta logo.
