Project description
Raising public awareness about research benefits in Slovenia
Bringing together 40 research institutes in Slovenia, the EU-funded NOCMOC project aims to raise awareness about research and its benefits. Moreover, it will work to overcome stereotypes, stimulate curiosity and encourage young people to embark on research careers. To that end, local, regional and national media and the awareness campaign Waters' Might will employ different communication tools, including TV and radio broadcasts as well as press releases in print and digital media. The awareness campaign will also engage 1 200 groups, families and individuals in the Citizens Science project. NOCMOC will carry out more than 200 activities, organising science festivals and shows, as well as research and technical days at schools and lectures in public spaces.
Objective
"Firmly supported by local, regional and national media, the awareness campaign Waters' Might introduces the project ""Noc ima svojo moc"" (NOCMOC) to Slovenian and other EU citizens.
The core objectives of the NOCMOC project is to raise awareness about the research and its benefits, overcome stereotypes, stimulate curiosity and excite youngsters to take up the research careers.
Efficient communication tools, successfully used in previous project editions, TV and radio broadcasts, press-releases in printed and social media tend to reach over 700.000 people. Generated by past experiences, the awareness campaign will explore Waters and include 1.200 groups, families and individuals to participate in Citizens Science project. Citizens' contribution to the research methodology practice will be implemented by the use ""hands-on"" and/or other research tools in a basic and user-friendly way.
Previous NOCMOC editions have developed a strong and sustainable growing network of interested partnering institutions in more than 25 cities in Slovenia, attracting even other EU cities in a year of Slovenian presidency of the European Union Council.
The project will bring together over 40 research-related institutions to raise awareness about research and innovation, its relevance to implement the Green Dealgoals, its social and economic benefits, and its variety of careers.
We aim for 35.000 visitors from different target groups to participate in the NOCMOC activities spread all over Slovenia.
Over 200 activities: science festivals on the main squares of four Slovenian cities, science shows, simulations, research and technical days in primary and secondary schools, lectures and workshops in public spaces (libraries, retirement homes, museums), science espressos, STEAM events, EU corners, on-line events and open doors of science, research and cultural institutions will attract the audience from dawn to late evening on 24th of September 2021.
