Researchers for Humanity 2021

Project description

Science and research in daily life in Romania

European Researchers’ Night takes place simultaneously in hundreds of cities across Europe. Romania has been organising events since 2007, raising awareness about science careers and enhancing the public’s appreciation of researchers. The EU-funded R4H2021 project will continue this work. Specifically, it will organise events aimed at creating strong bonds between the public and researchers. For instance, the public will be able to learn about science projects and research ideas by taking part in interactive hands-on sessions. The focus will be on learning by doing and education through play. Moreover, R4H2021 will initiate and maintain partnerships with media, academia and non-formal education institutions.

Objective

"""Researchers for Humanity 2021"" will continue the work of the series of European Researchers' Night events organized in Romania since 2007. Pursuing the previous editions goals, this event will focus on creating a strong bond between the public and researchers, by carrying on with presenting the audience the importance of science and research work for humanity's daily life and by making the researchers more approachable for the public in general. Year after year, we keep up with promoting the European dimension of the event and it is only natural to emphasis on the public's awareness, which will flag European Researchers' Night 2021 as one of the most important and awaited events, in terms of science, research and education, as it happened in the past years. This year, during 1 day (or 2 days in some places), the public will have the opportunity to better understand science projects and researchers ideas and motivation by taking part in interactive hands-on sessions, learning by doing, education through play, as well as being encouraged to have interesting talks with the researchers themselves. The event will maintain its traditional logo as a clear connection with the European and national dimension of the event. Also, through the platform, we will invite associated events to get enrolled and be supported by us through promotion at the national level. Due to the long lasting relationships, the partnerships will be continued with the main actors from mass-media and most of the important players in private research, universities and non-formal education institutions."
