Project description
Lots of science in Leiden
Launched back in 2004, the EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF) is the largest biennial interdisciplinary meeting on science and innovation in Europe, for and with society. In 2022, a conference was organised in Leiden, the Netherlands. Leiden was designated the City of Science at the start of the year. The conference was organised by the EU-funded Leiden2022-ECS-ESOF project. The overall aim of the conference was to raise awareness and ensure exchange and widespread European and international attention. The project achieved the following goals through the conference, which ran from 13 to 16 July 2022. Firstly, it brought science and society closer together. It also encouraged scientific exchange that resulted in the development of new research agendas.
Objective
The main objective of this proposal is the organisation of the European City of Science 2022, which will be organised by Leiden2022. The project starts on August 1st 2021 and finishes March 31st 2023. This means that the total duration of the project is 20 months. The European City of Science 2022 programme consists of three components: A year of events (including Knowledge throughout Neighbourhoods), the EuroScience Open Forum conference 2022 and European Science in the City festival. As such, Leiden2022 is concerned with organising a full programme in close cooperation with partners and stakeholders. Strong emphasis will be placed on both awareness-raising and communication measures. This is applicable for the entire duration of the project. Leiden2022 will ensure exchange and-wide spread (inter)national attention for the programme by developing a tailor-made communication and promotion strategy in cooperation with national and international media to gather public interest.
Considering the extended scope of ECS2022 compared to previous editions, the expected impact will be much bigger in and after 2022. Leiden European City of Science 2022 will address four main pathways towards impact: bringing science and society closer together; fostering innovation and development of new research agendas by stimulating scientific exchange; creating an ‘established’ and sustainable label for European City of Science; and establishing Leiden as a City of Knowledge.
