Science in the City, Malta's national science and arts festival, brings researchers, artists, educators, organisations and communities together this 25–26th September (Triton Square, Valletta) and 6–7th November (Sala San Duminku, Valletta) to explore how research shapes our lives and inspires positive change. The festival creates opportunities for people of all ages to experience science and the arts through creativity, participation and dialogue.

This year's theme, Research, Resist, Reimagine, celebrates the power of research to help us understand the world, challenge misinformation and invites us to reimagine a better future. Through interactive experiences, performances and creative activities, the festival invites everyone to discover how research can empower communities, inspire active citizenship and help address today's global challenges.

Science in the City (SitC) was launched in 2012.

This EFFE awarded event has been growing in scale and vision for twelve years with the number of attendees more than doubling, from 12,000 in 2012 to 30,000 in 2023 — reaching over 6% of the total population of the Maltese Islands. The number of activities has more than tripled as has the number of partners, researchers and volunteers, with over 500 students and 100 researchers involved. This festival is part of the European Researchers’ Night which takes place on the same night in over 400 cities across Europe and aims to promote European research and nurture international collaboration.
