Descripción del proyecto
Involucrar a los ciudadanos en la investigación y la innovación en Chipre
La Fundación para la Investigación y la Innovación de Chipre coordina los actos de la Noche Europea de los Investigadores (ERN, por sus siglas en inglés) en el país desde 2006. El equipo del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos CONNECT organizará dos actos de la ERN en septiembre de 2022 y septiembre de 2023 con las temática INSPIRE 2022 y CONNECT 2023 respectivamente, ambos inspirados en las misiones de la Unión Europea. En el proyecto se pondrá en contacto a científicos e investigadores de todas las disciplinas con el público en general a fin de aumentar el conocimiento de las actividades de investigación e innovación, así como de impulsar el reconocimiento público de la educación en materia de ciencia e investigación. En CONNECT se centrará la atención en los estudiantes y sus familias a través de experimentos prácticos, demostraciones y simulaciones de prototipos, eventos de entretenimiento y un espectáculo en vivo de monólogos humorísticos sobre ciencia para finalizar esta celebración.
Objetivo
The vision of the CONNECT proposal is to engage, inspire and ultimately connect with researchers and the public at large in a quest to increase awareness about research and innovation activities and to boost public recognition of science and research education in Cyprus. In the framework of the proposed project, two European Researchers' Night (ERN) events will be organised in Cyprus in September 2022 and September 2023. The theme of the events, Mission: INSPIRE 2022 and Mission: CONNECT 2023, is inspired by the EU Missions aiming to mobilise and activate collective efforts to tackle common challenges and bring about lasting impact. The target audience is the public at large, attracting people regardless of their age, gender or scientific background, with a special focus on families, pupils and students. Having coordinated the organisation of the ERN events in Cyprus since 2006, the Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF), will seek to build on the experience accumulated over the years and established collaboration with local Research and Innovation (R&I) stakeholders from the academia, the public sector, industry as well as other actors in civil society to make the events successful. Key messages will be communicated through a vibrant and diverse awareness campaign and unique pre-events such as a flashmob, whilst the main events will bring together the public and researchers from all disciplines through hands-on experiments, prototype demos and simulations as well as through an online event engagement application, a treasure hunt, screenings of documentaries, science communication competitions and a Stand-Up Science Comedy Live Show to conclude festivities. CONNECT will also bring researchers at schools in order for them to actively engage with the younger generation but also promote a scientific approach to teaching for teachers, providing direct access to information about research performed in Cyprus in the priority topics of the EU missions.
