Periodic Reporting for period 1 - G-NIGHT (Galician Night of Researchers)
Reporting period: 2021-05-01 to 2021-11-30
The aim of the project was to continue working towards raising awareness of research and research careers, the role of science and technology in our society and the promotion of scientific vocations among young people through this project. All of these objectives are shared goals and integral part of the philosophy of each and every one of the consortium partners and for the very first time we wanted to carry out a project all together.
G-NIGHT sought to bring its research institutions to the whole population, to continue working and caring for a relationship that is strengthened every day. And all partners wanted to do it in a festive atmosphere and on informal settings, and so it was done: events on public squares, streets, pubs, libraries, museums… all kind of locations for the biggest science festival. It was an opportunity to break stereotypes, clear misconceptions, open the dialogue and have a big day of celebration

The public in attendance awarded the event 9.21 (on a scale from 0 to 10) for general satisfaction. Likewise, 76.6% of the attendees and 85% of the collaborators consider that an event such as G-Night is of fundamental importance when it comes to promoting science among citizens. All this confirms that the work carried out by the organizers, promotors and collaborators has been a success and encourages us to maintain our efforts in the coming years.
