Project description
The European dimension of Researchers' Night in Madrid
Calling everyone - from students, teachers and elderly, as well as science addicts and those reluctant to believe science. The European Researchers' Night in Madrid is designed to bring them all together to increase awareness of research and innovation activities. The EU-funded MadridERN2021 project will aim to support the public recognition of researchers, creating an understanding of the impact of researchers' work on citizen's daily life and encouraging young people to embark on scientific careers. The project's overall purpose is to increase public recognition of researchers.

MadridERN2021 will implement it by means of a set of festive activities to be carried out in the Region of Madrid on the morning and evening of the 24th and 25th of September 2021. Pre-events will be also organized mainly in spring and summer.
The activities will be addressed to public at large, science-addicts and science-reluctant, children, families, teachers, elderly, people regardless their scientific background with a special focus on young people: secondary and primary school students with the main purpose of encouraging STEM subjects and science careers, university students and also vocational education and training students.
The event will involve researchers, benefited by EU funds, especially the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). Their presence in the activities at the European corners will point out the transnational and diversity aspects of research, showing the attractiveness of their jobs that can be done everywhere in Europe. Information on the EU: its history, initiatives, policies, especially the European Green Deal, and achievements will be provided to highlight the European dimension of the Night.
Regional and Academic authorities, stakeholders and managers from universities, research centres, museums, hospitals, NGOs, foundations and industry (Spin offs, SME or Large Companies) in the Region of Madrid will be at the core of the project.
