Sign up as an event organizer of the Night of Science 2026

The Night of Science is a block party for science and research and is celebrated annually in Helsinki. The program is made by many different scientific and cultural organizations and actors. Sign up to organize your own event in the Night of Science.

The next Night of Science takes place on Thursday the 22nd of January 2026. The event organizers are free to plan any kind of events they want. In previous years, the Night of Science has included lectures, workshops, theater performances, guided tours, city games and exhibitions. We are looking for both urban and online events for the Night of Science 2026. Combinations of these two are also possible.

To be part of the Night of Science, the event must meet four conditions. The event organizers must sign up at the latest on the 24th of October 2025 and submit the program information at the latest on the 31st of October 2025. The event must be free of charge and the program must be based on science.

The event organizers are responsible for all matters related to their own events in the Night of Science (program, timetable, place, cost, etc.). The Federation of Finnish Learned Societies (TSV) that coordinates the Night of Science is responsible for compiling and publishing the program, as well as for communication and marketing of the Night.

TSV encourages event organizers to cooperate with each other. The event organizers’ meeting in September will be a place to discuss ideas and tentative plans for upcoming Night of Science. The invitation to the event will be sent to those who have signed up on the event organizers' mailing list in August.
