Project description
Building on the success of European Researchers’ Night
Research is not only for universities and research institutions. Research is important for everyone and can have a real impact – from social, policy and health to awareness and economic – in the real world. In this context, the EU-funded INTERSECTIONS project will aim to create a platform showcasing the international and intersectional nature of research as well as the public’s contribution to research. It will invite researchers and the public across Europe to participate in a special event that will run independently of European Researchers’ Night – public events organised Europe-wide to bring researchers closer to the public. Specifically, INTERSECTIONS will aim for a pan European delivery with activities that can run on an international basis.
Objective
This edition of European Researcher's Night, run independently of all other NIGHTs, will provide a platform from which researchers and publics across Europe can participate to create a truly pan-national series of events showcasing the international and intersectional nature of research as well as the relevance of, and contribution to research that the public can make. INTERSECTIONS is developed from past success in international delivery of a group of seven NIGHTs across Europe. This experience has shown international delivery can be meaningful and rewarding, and demonstrated the barriers and drivers to a successful international and intersectional delivery. We propose now to expand on this and provide dedicated support for a pan-European delivery. In 2021 INTERSECTIONS will run a modest group of activities that we are confident are able to run on an international basis with significant impact and meaningful outcomes for all stakeholders from researchers to audiences. This truly pan-European research showcase event, connecting researchers, audiences, and NIGHTs, will showcase research and its relevance to all European citizens.
