In Armamar, a village nestled among the hills of Portugal’s Douro Valley, science is becoming more than a theoretical image or a school subject confined to traditional classrooms; it is evolving into a movement that connects and empowers communities. Following the success of the first European Researchers’ Night in Rural Settings (RERN) in Armamar in 2023, local enthusiasm has transformed this event from an experimental gathering into an eagerly anticipated tradition. On September 27th, 2024, RERN-Armamar returned in a second edition with an expanded ambition and a deep-rooted purpose that extends beyond the mere celebration of science. The aim is to bring science—and scientists—into the heart of rural communities, establishing it as a driving force for local development.
