On 25 September, PAS GRAS will once again join the European Researchers’ Night 2026, taking research beyond the laboratory and bringing science closer to society. This year, the PAS GRAS team will be simultaneously present in Coimbra and Lisbon, with activities designed for visitors of all ages.

PAS GRAS researchers will invite visitors to explore the connections between our everyday habits, metabolism and health. Through games, challenges and other interactive activities, participants will discover in an accessible and engaging way how nutrition, physical activity and other everyday behaviours can influence metabolic health.

The event will also provide an opportunity to learn more about the PAS GRAS project, talk directly with our researchers and discover how research is helping us understand the multiple factors involved in the development of obesity and develop earlier, more personalised and effective prevention strategies.
