Project description
Increasing citizen participation in STEAM and ORE science
Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the ORE4Citizens project seeks to bring science and research closer to Basque and European society in an inclusive way. The initiative focuses on the education system (pupils and students) and society at large (citizens) to address gender balance, diversity and inclusiveness. Due to its prominence in the Basque Country offshore renewable energy (ORE) is used to facilitate the understanding of the applied science of this sector, promoting science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) and research careers. It will also help raise awareness and increase engagement regarding the contributions that research and researchers are making to the social and economic development and the societal challenges and strategic research priorities of the Basque Country and Europe.
Objective
ORE4Citizens will bring science and research closer to society focusing on the education system and society at large through Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) and STEAM to raise awareness and engagement on the contributions of research to the socio-economic development and the societal challenges and strategic priorities in the Basque Country and Europe. The activities - of the Researchers’ Night and Researchers at Schools, supported by Awareness Campaigns and Impact Assessment- will take place in the Basque Country, with the following objectives: 1. Bridge the gap between ORE science and perception of citizens, students and pupils. 2. Increase social awareness, citizen commitment and acceptance of scientific activity in the area of Offshore Renewable Energies and their contribution to the EU missions. 3. Promote STEAM vocations among young people. In particular towards disciplines necessary for ORE, to contribute to the value chain of the Basque Country and Europe. 4. Create female references in science and promote the scientific careers of women and girls and attract talent. Showcasing real women that today have an important role in the scientific and technological development. 5. Show the value of scientific activities funded by the European Union and how they contribute to society, with special emphasis on the Green Deal. 6. Showcase the scientific and academic capabilities of the Basque Country in ORE (R&I and training) and its contribution at European scale. KPIs and, means of verification and main numeric targets for ORE4Citizens objectives are set, as well as a number of results contributing in significant scale to the expected outcomes and impacts.
A broad collaboration network of public institutions, private entities, research organisations and tertiary sector entities have signed their compromise to participate in the dissemination and development of the activities to maximise the impact while ensuring equal opportunities for the entire population.
