The International Bat Night (IBN), which is proclaimed by EUROBATS, has been held every year since 1997 on the last full weekend in August in more than 30 countries.
On these dates, nature conservation organisations and NGOs from all over Europe inform the public about the biology and needs of bats with presentations, exhibitions and bat walks and often offer the opportunity to hear bat sounds with the help of ultrasonic technology or to be there live during net catches.
The general date is set for the last full weekend of August; local organizers sometimes also make other dates if this is more convinient.
The date for this year’s 27th International Bat Night is the 26. and 27 August 2023.
