Description du projet
Communiquer sur les réalisations des chercheurs roumains dans le domaine de l’écologie
Le pacte vert pour l’Europe, l’objectif le plus ambitieux et le plus exigeant fixé par la Commission européenne, suscite un intérêt croissant dans l’UE. La multiplication des investissements en matière de recherche et d’innovation écologiques est la clé qui permettra d’atteindre l’objectif visant à faire de l’UE un continent neutre pour le climat d’ici à 2050. Ces investissements accrus passent par le renforcement de la confiance du grand public envers la science. C’est dans cette optique que le projet ReCoN-nect, financé par l’UE, fera la promotion de la recherche verte et de l’enseignement des STIM en Roumanie. ReCoN-nect, qui fédère six instituts de recherche roumains, quatre universités, un organisme public et deux associations communautaires civiles, développera un nouveau concept de Nuit européenne des chercheurs qui sera mis en œuvre dans le cadre d’une campagne nationale prévoyant vingt-et-un événements organisés dans des zones urbaines représentatives dans toute la Roumanie.
Objectif
Societies underinvest in research either because it is a long term process and the results are not easily seen, either because of the complexity of this enterprise. This along with other difficulties weighs on the researchers who lack the will or power to get more engaged in the public life which further affects the trust in science and research. Breaking the vicious circle is a slow process and should be based on a genuine partnership between the researchers, as promoters of new findings about the world's true nature, the society as a whole, with its most stringent but also subtles needs, and the communication facilitators as a way to surface the unexpressed realities. The partnership, ReCoNnect-ing these different views, should be effective in educating the present citizens, but also shaping the teaching approaches for the members of the future society.
This consortium is made up from 6 research institutes, 4 universities, 1 public body, and 2 civil community associations experienced in promoting science and STEM education, which supported the development of one of the largest educational networks in the country in connection also with EU programmes. Together, we propose a highly innovative concept of European Researchers' Night rooted in a long experience with the programme and well supported by the partner's institutions, which we will implement in a nationwide campaign comprising 21 events in representative urban areas. Three UNESCO/aspiring geoparks will organize events in rural areas, while others will be encouraged to participate remotely.
Focusing the conversation, we tackle a topic of great interest for the European Union countries: The European Green Deal. We propose to map the current perceptions and expectations of the population on this programme by a large number of encounters with the public, and to better communicate on the endeavors and successes that Romanian researchers have in contributing to the very ambitious goals of the EU programme.
