Project description
The role of science in a complex world
In today’s complex world, we face numerous challenges, from environmental threats to health crises. Many people struggle to understand the role of science in addressing these issues. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the LiS-World project aims to change that through engaging public events like the European Researchers’ Night in Graz, Austria. LiS-World showcases the practical importance of science in navigating our upside-down world. This initiative educates and empowers, fostering a society equipped to tackle tomorrow’s trials. LiS-World beckons us to embrace the transformative potential of science, steering us towards a brighter future.
Objective
"Our public events, held in conjunction with the European Researchers Night (ERN) in Graz, Austria, will be titled ""Life is Science in a World turned Upside-Down"" (Lis-World). The title signifies our central objective to showcase the vital role of science in navigating the complexities of today's world. In the face of (emerging) global challenges, public engagement for a more informed, sustainable, and scientifically-literate society is paramount. Attendees will gain firsthand insights into the daily work of researchers and science communicators across various science disciplines, highlighting the profound impact of science on our daily lives. The events framework centers around four distinctive storylines: Earth Explorers, Health Investigators, Tech Pioneers, and Science Reporters. These designations are chosen not only to pique the attendees' individual interests, but also to directly engage them in specific roles and give them the opportunity to earn a badge, for example, as a ""Science Reporter. This immersive approach encourages active participation, ensuring that each visitor can directly experience the heart of these scientific domains."
