Project description
Promoting research and innovation in Montenegro
Building on the decade-long tradition of the European Researchers’ Nights taking place in Montenegro, the EU-funded Montenight2021 project will show the ‘human face’ of research and innovation. The project will promote a knowledge-based society and demonstrate its practical benefits. Moreover, it will focus on the green transition in alignment with the European Green Deal's definition of ‘improving the well-being of people’ and consider the social, political and ethical implications of technologies. The events will take place in the capital of Montenegro Podgorica and 10 other cities, and 10 smaller-scale festivals will be held in all three regions of the country, targeting university students, school children, administrators and the broader public.
Objective
"MONTENIGHT 2021 ""CREATE FUTURE"" has an aim to upgrade the image of researchers, novel technologies, and innovations, addressing their important role in the perspective of our society in the modern Era. Following the European Green Deal definition ""improving the well-being of people"" the MonteNight2021 will also focus on raising awareness of the green future. The MonteNight 2021 is a continuation of a decade-long tradition of implementation of Researchers' Nights in Montenegro, since 2009. The project will demonstrate the ""human face"" of research and innovations by clarifying practical benefits in everyday life. The project will promote a knowledge-based society by emphasizing research and innovations in competitive sectors having in mind not only benefits for growth and development but also challenges that we face with social, political, and ethical implications of technologies. The events will be staged in the Montenegrin capital Podgorica (universities, museums, galleries, shopping malls, main squares) and 10 more cities, while 10 pre-events smaller scale science Festivals would be held in all three regions. RN activities involve Open Science Show, 300 hands-on experiments, Virtual and Augmented Reality and Hologram technologies, robot performances, Science and Art installations, Science Cafe, Quiz, Concert, Interdisciplinary workshops, panel debates, Science kindergarten ... Our target audiences are high school & university students, preschool and elementary school children, parents, school administrators, teachers, researchers, the general public, and media. At least 5000 of them would be directly involved, expecting 50000 online visitors, and up to 50% of the population would be reached via media advertising.
