About

Science is Wonderful! is an annual science fair organised by the European Commission.

 

It celebrates EU-funded research by inviting leading researchers from all over the world to come to Brussels and engage and inspire the next generation of scientists.

 

Attracting over 4000 pupils from across Belgium each year, this three-day event has become a science outreach institution, free and open to all.

 

We are grateful to the over 150 outstanding researchers who came from more than 30 countries to Brussels in March 2026 to share their work with 4500 young visitors from across Belgium and abroad.

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions

Science is Wonderful! is an initiative of European Union’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), the reference programme for doctoral education and postdoctoral training. This allows excellent researchers across the EU and abroad to study a topic in depth that they care about.

 

Science is Wonderful! bridges this research with schools across the European Union. It celebrates the value and impact of EU-funded research by giving primary and secondary school students the chance to interact with leading researchers and innovators, learn more about their work in engaging formats and ask questions about scientific careers. Since its inception in 2015, Science is Wonderful! has organised an annual science fair that interactively showcases research projects and innovations through presentations, hands-on experiments, games and quizzes.

 

The MSCA also support the European Researchers’ Night, a popular science outreach event organised annually in several European countries and beyond, and Researchers at Schools, which fosters direct interaction between researchers, teachers and pupils.
