The Great E³UDRES² Showcase Contest celebrates student-driven projects, research, or initiatives that have the potential to turn into an interactive experience for the public. As part of the European Researchers’ Night 2026 in St. Pölten, we invite students from across the E³UDRES² Alliance to present their ideas in a new and engaging way. This year’s programme is built around S.P.A.C.E. – Science & Public Awareness through Creative Exploration, an approach that places science directly into the spaces we live in, shape, and explore together.

Get the chance to present your work

The contest is open to all students (undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels) from partner institutions within the E³UDRES² Alliance. The winning project will be presented to the public during the European Researchers’ Night on 25 September 2026 at USTP and awarded with a monetary prize of €500, among other incentives!
