Project description
Researchers meet the public in Moldova
Researchers, innovators, students, and young people from across Moldova will come together to celebrate science and research during the 2022 and 2023 editions of European Researchers’ Night events. The aim of these annual events is to increase public awareness and appreciation of science and also inspire a new generation of budding scientists and researchers. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) project GreenSCI will organise the events. Specifically, it will enhance communication between researchers and the general public (mainly young people) and increase awareness of EU programmes and opportunities by highlighting the work of EU-funded researchers from Moldova. The events will also showcase the impact of research and innovation on daily life and social welfare.
Objective
The GreenSCI project aims to increase the public recognition of science, promote young researchers and researchers with sustainable innovations, and show the impact that research and innovation have on daily life and social welfare.
In this context, the 2022 and 2023 editions of European Researchers Night aim to increase the public recognition of science, promote young researchers and experienced scientists with sustainable innovations, and show the opportunities in research and STEAM for young people and pupils.
The main idea of GreenSCI project is to bring together researchers, innovators, children, young people, adults from different regions of Moldova who have and who do not have a background in research in order to show the impact of RDI and STEAM disciplines on everyday life.
The specific objectives of the GreenSCI project are:
• Contribute to increased visibility and promotion of research and researchers among the general public;
• Enhance communication between researchers and the general public, mainly young people, by encouraging citizens’ engagement;
• Increase the public recognition of EU programmes and opportunities, including EU funded researchers from Moldova, as well as Moldovan scientific diaspora.
• Promote innovations with social and business applicability via Open Science practices.
