Objectif
Our theme is the natural physical world from the marine, through the atmosphere to space. In this we create an extensive network of researchers on Ireland's western seaboard. This includes environmental and astronomical researchers based in NUI Galway, Ireland's Marine Institute and the Galway Altlantaquaria, Ireland’s National Aquarium. Between them they cover a broad range of research activities. Each organisation has a wide spread of contacts in the community through individual outreach programmes. Together they will show the extent and relevance of scientific research on Europe’s periphery.
For night itself we will showcase through direct interaction between the public and scientists. To make this event different we have scientifically themed theatre and other artistic events. Galway is well positioned for this synergy having excellent EU and nationally funded research scientists and a lively arts community with street theatre, dance and music. When we combine these together we will have a memorable evening for promoting EU and nationally funded research.
Through Researchers Night 2011 we will create a unique event with the vibrancy of the Galway Arts Festival and the impact fundamental science and technology.
We shall show how the creative drive in science can be used to stimulate artistic activity. At the same artistic expression can be used to put science discoveries in a human context.
