Project description
Enhancing trust in science and promoting STEM
Scientific developments – from clean energy and circular economy solutions to zero-pollution and smart mobility innovations – are a part of the fabric of civic life. This makes public confidence in science important. In this context, the EU-funded REGGAE project will organise activities in Portugal, as part of the European Researchers’ Night, to bring together researchers and citizens. Activities will include hands-on activities, workshops, science shows, science cafés, demonstrations, informal talks with researchers and guided tours, specifically designed according to the age group and social background of the participants. Young researchers will serve as role models for students to promote STEM careers. The project’s overall goal is to reinforce trust in science and its methods.
Objective
REGGAE will showcase the role of scientists in the achievement of a greener, more resilient and innovative European society, by involving researchers and public side by side in lively activities. By engaging adult citizens and showing how innovation and knowledge can lead to growth and to a more sustainable future, the project will also contribute to reinforce trust in science and its methods. Young researchers, as role models for students, will be involved in activities specifically designed for youngsters and schools, in order to promote STEM careers.
The topics addressed in the activity programme will cover the main areas of the European Green Deal, namely, climate ambition; clean energy; circular economy; energy and resource efficient buildings; sustainable and smart mobility; farm to fork; biodiversity and ecosystems; zero-pollution and toxic free environments. The programme of ERN and warm-up events will include lively formats like hands-on activities, workshops, science shows, science cafés, demonstrations, informal talks with researchers and guided tours, specifically designed according to the age-group and social background of the participants.
The detailed programme will be developed by a consortium that includes research centres - IBMC and ITQB - and science communication institutions closely connected to universities (science centres of the Ciência Viva National Network). All the participating institutions have a large experience in organizing both face-to-face and online engagement activities, enabling to ensure an extensive impact of the project even if health contingencies still apply. Both the research centres and the Ciência Viva network provide extensive dissemination channels that will ensure the engagement of a wide range of stakeholders and publics.
