Researchers' Night Hamilton

event coordinator


Though surrounded by science and innovation, we rarely have the occasion to meet the scientists and researchers behind the technologies and knowledge that shape our current and future lives. Researchers’ Night gives the public a unique and free opportunity to meet and discuss with researchers from McMaster University. The event, based on the very successful “European Researchers’ Night”, and it started in Hamilton in 2014, with a different theme chosen every year:

  • 2014 - "The sustainable city"
  • 2015 - "EnLIGHTened"
  • 2016 - "A WaveLength Ahead"
  • 2017 - "Soil & Culture"
  • 2018 - "Matter & Anti-matter"
  • 2019 - "Thoughts for food"

My first experience with Researchers’ Night was in 2015, during my first year in graduate school, with an outreach presentation about my research. I enjoyed this experience so much that I decided to join Florence Roullet, the founder of the Hamilton event as a coordinator of the event until 2020. Below you can listen to couple of interviews I gave at CFMU to promote Researchers’ Night Hamilton:
