The 2026 edition of Researchers at School will take place from 9 – 13 March 2026. Registrations for researchers open on 6 January 2026. Through Researchers at School, the FNR invites researchers in Luxembourg to ‘go back to school’ and inspire the next generation of researchers! ‘Researchers at School’ is your chance to interact and motivate future generations, and share the passion that got you into research in the first place.
About Researchers at School
The FNR is organising these get-togethers between local researchers (having obtained or preparing their PhDs) and secondary school students for the 14th year now and success doesn’t diminish, on the contrary! (+/- 70 sessions on average over the last years).
Researchers of all scientific disciplines can describe the pupils their life as a researcher: from their beginnings as a student, to their motivation for one or the other scientific discipline, first steps in their professional lives, career challenges and opportunities.
It shouldn’t be a scientific talk- more a personal interaction. For the teenagers, this is the perfect opportunity to ask them all the questions they have in mind and to receive information on the advantages and also the possible disadvantages of being a scientist.
