Objective
We will focus on enhancing researchers’ public recognition. Researchers, presented as persons that everyday people can relate to, can draw attention to science; and can make science seen as a casual but interesting adventure. Better understanding science can also lead to improving researchers’ recognition. Thus, the main message of the event will emphasize the human, accessible yet important figure of the researcher working for the benefit of the society.
RN is an event that attracts a growing number of visitors and cooperating bodies each year. This year we plan a brand new exciting project that retains some indispensable elements from the previous events. We will actively involve young people because we believe that future scientific and technological development lies in their hands. The main driving forces and themes of our programmes are connection and interaction. Connection and interaction between different scientific fields, Science and Arts, scientists, science and children/pupils/students, researchers and laymen, science and companies, research and everyday life, research and hobby; between partner universities, research institutes and industrial companies. Connection and interaction with media is also indispensable in order to enhance researchers’ public recognition and to raise awareness of the importance of science and research by putting in the spotlight scientific achievements and researchers. Our choice of key theme is reinforced and further coloured by the fact that 2011 is the International Year of Chemistry – so we will closely examine chemical bonds, unions and interactions as well.
Again, we will involve the public in a wide range of exciting scientific activities that are interconnected and are implemented through intense cooperation between the consortium members. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet researchers and get more deeply acquainted with the world of science.
