2026 Science Comes to Town

News from the Cities

Science Comes to Town is a new flagship Horizon Europe initiative connecting science, innovation, and citizens across Europe.

Three science cities—Kiel, Brest, and Split—are joining forces to deliver the first year-long, coordinated programme dedicated to bringing research and innovation directly into the everyday life of cities and communities.

With over 1,000 activities and more than 70 partners across the three cities and their regions, Science Comes to Town connects scientific institutions, innovation ecosystems, and citizens throughout Europe.

This page features a series of "ambassadors" portraits and science-driven initiatives from the three participating cities.
