In 2024, Science4All returned to Padua for its highly anticipated third edition—an inclusive science festival that brings research out of the labs and into the streets, schools, and everyday life. Once again, the festival unfolded in two dynamic formats: for the public and families, a vibrant weekend of over 240 activities fi lled the streets of Padua at the end of September, in celebration of the European Researchers’ Night; for schools, a dedicated program during the autumn months engaged nearly 7,000 students from primary and secondary schools across Padua and the Veneto region.

At its core, Science4All is an invitation to discover the universal language of science through hands-on activities, interactive experiments, and open dialogue with the very people behind the research. Children and adults alike explored laboratories, played with real scientific tools, and met researchers face to face.
