From September 26 to 28, science returns to enliven the city of Padua: it’s Science4All, an event organized by the University of Padua that communicates science in a simple and entertaining way. Unipd researchers engage with the public through a universal language, that of science.
It all begins on Friday, September 26, at Palazzo del Bo: 19 speakers from the University of Padua will take to the stage for 7 minutes each to present the results of the Hub & Spoke projects and the research infrastructures funded by the University with PNRR funds in a rich and informative marathon of presentations. In addition, to honor European Researchers’ Night (EU), from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., the University’s museums will open their doors to the public with special activities and guided tours, as well as nighttime activities at the Specola and two preview shows.
Saturday, September 27, and Sunday, September 28, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., are the heart of Science4All, with many activities in the historic center of Padua organized in 67 stands along a “Boulevard of Science“, from the Botanical Garden to Palazzo del Bo and on the Listòn, continuing in Piazzetta Garzeria, Piazza Cavour, and Via San Fermo to the Museum of Nature and Man.
Theater performances, screenings, a concert, a chess tournament, two exhibitions, and a multimedia interactive installation. Science4All is not only a continuous cycle of activities on the Boulevard of Science, but also offers numerous special events spread over the three days of the festival.
Activities are also offered to the public at various university museums, including the Museum of Veterinary Medicine in Legnaro (PD) and the ‘Giuseppe Olivi’ Museum of Adriatic Zoology in Chioggia (VE), libraries, university centers, some of the city’s most important research centers and consortia, and other significant local institutions.
