  Since twelve years the researchers of the Roman area organize the European
Researchers' Night, a project funded by European Commission to discover science
and meet researchers through an Europe-wide public event dedicated to fun
learning. Since the first edition in 2006, when the National Laboratory of
INFN's in Frascati hosted 4000 visitors the project is always grown up to
50,000 attendees and more than 50 scientific partners. In the last edition, The
Frascati Scienza association, which was born to coordinate the event, operated
in over 30 Italian cities from south to north of the peninsula. In addition,
the Made in Science project - European Research Week 2016/17 - has been the one
of the largest project funded by the European Commission and it's often
referred to as a model for organization and communication to the general
public. The 12 yeas data collected and results obtained, as well as some of the
most important experiences in public communication of science will be shown.
