BFU is part of the European Researchers' Night across the entire EUNICoast map.
Burgas Free University shares the celebration of the European Researchers' Night across the entire map of the European University of Islands, Ports and Coastal Territories (EUNICoast) with all 12 partner higher education institutions from 8 sea basins and oceans in the European Union and its overseas territories. With the largest presence of students, PhD candidates, and researchers tonight, BFU is on the island of Sardinia, Italy – where the EUNICoast Young Researchers' Festival is currently taking place.
In Szczecin, our ZUT colleagues turned their "Europe is US" stand into a proper game night as part of Researchers' Power 2026: videos from partner universities, fun quizzes about our countries, and prizes to win, EUNICoast merchandise included.

In the Azores, MacaroNight visitors are joining the crew of a research ship. They connect university partners with yarn on a giant map, match challenges to crew members in a card game, and try not to knock over a Jenga tower built from funding, ethics and teamwork blocks.
In Patras, visitors become detectives for an evening. Starting from a single ceramic vessel found in an ancient shipwreck, they follow the clues in its shape and decoration to work out where it came from and what maritime route it once travelled. Everyone who finishes gets a diploma to take home.
