Résumé du contexte et des objectifs généraux du projet

The ERN is an event allowing to create a direct link between researchers and the public. This is useful both for researchers and the public. Researchers are trained for this specific type of communication and confront their research subjects with the public. This encounter brings interesting questions, but also joy and motivation for researchers to keep on their work. This is especially important for young researchers that can sometimes feel isolated. The public gains knowledge about scientific subjects, but more importantly about research itself: how it is to work in a lab, how do researchers get funding for their works, how much does this and this cost... These questions about detail provide information about "real" research, and not only the image of it that exist in TV Shows, or in some parts of social media, very suspicious about research. With this information, people can make up their mind, change their views, to adjust to the testimonies and answers of the researchers in front of them.

With an omnipresent scientific subject (COVID-19), organizing an event allowing to join a friendly and playful encounter to cheer up the minds, and strong scientific exchanges with the participation of researchers themselves is particularly important.

Travail effectué depuis le début du projet jusqu’à la fin de la période considérée dans le rapport et principaux résultats atteints jusqu’à présent

50.000 persons in total visited our events, onsite or online, and 2 million people have been aware of the ERN.
1,150 researchers were involved in the project and have been coached and trained by mediators, artists or scenographers.
The French Ministry of Culture financially supported the event for the 4th year, fostering the participation of researchers in social sciences and humanities; the Ministry of Research also contributed.

Progrès au-delà de l’état des connaissances et impact potentiel prévu (y compris l’impact socio-économique et les conséquences sociétales plus larges du projet jusqu’à présent)

The hybrid onsite & online event was a success and revealed to us and other professionnals some "best practices" to exchange, and some errors to avoid.
New activities were invented, and the activity "the suitcase of the researcher" will be planned in some cities in other events.
