The exhibition "Let's get acquainted with energy" will allow visitors to get acquainted with the scientific activities carried out at the Lithuanian Energy Institute, see demonstration stands, and learn about the activities of companies of the Lithuanian Electricity Association (LEEA).

From 16:00 hrs. there will be guided tours of the institute's laboratories, during which employees will talk about the equipment and devices used for scientific research and demonstrate their operation. During "Science in Practice" visitors will be welcomed by the open laboratories of Renewable Energy Sources, Nuclear Facility Safety, Combustion Processes, Plasma Technologies and the Hydrogen Energy Technology Center.

The latest scientific research and current events on the following topics will be presented in the simple lectures-discussions "Learn, Ask, Discuss!", which will take place in the LEI Great Hall at 6:00 PM:

All event participants, from students to seniors, will be able to compete in this quiz. The quiz questions will be related to the lecture material of the "Researchers' Night", visits to open laboratories and general knowledge about energy. Prizes await the winners!
