Description du projet
Combler le fossé de la recherche à Chypre, événement par événement
À Chypre, le fossé se creuse entre les citoyens et la recherche, ce qui entrave à la fois le progrès sociétal et les avancées scientifiques. De nombreux citoyens, principalement des jeunes, se désintéressent des domaines des sciences, de la technologie, de l’ingénierie, des arts et des mathématiques (STEAM), car ils n’ont pas conscience de leur potentiel ni de leur pertinence. Cette déconnexion étouffe l’innovation et entrave la capacité du pays à relever efficacement les défis les plus urgents. Soutenu par le programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA), le projet MISSION POSSIBLE ambitionne de susciter l’intérêt des citoyens pour les carrières STEAM et renforcer la culture scientifique. Par le biais d’événements tels que la Nuit européenne des chercheurs et d’activités menées tout au long de l’année, il entend démystifier la recherche et l’innovation, tout en promouvant leurs avantages pour la société. Avec le soutien de la Fondation pour la recherche et l’innovation et une campagne de sensibilisation dynamique, MISSION POSSIBLE s’efforce de rendre la science accessible et pertinente pour tous.
Objectif
"The vision of MISSION POSSIBLE proposal is to connect researchers with citizens and the general public at large, in a quest to increase awareness on research and innovation (R&I) and their impact on citizens daily life and to boost public recognition of science and research education in Cyprus. In line with the Call objectives, MISSION POSSIBLE will seek to bring researchers closer to the younger generation, to engage, inspire and encourage young people, especially those who are less inclined to embark on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) and research careers, whilst supporting educators in developing a scientific approach through direct interaction with researchers.
In the framework of the proposed project, two European Researchers Night (ERN) events will be organised in Cyprus on the last Friday of September 2024 and 2025, accompanied by related pre- and post- events and activities (such as Open Lab Days/Science Roadshows, Panel Discussions and Training Workshops) close to the dates of the ERN events, and complemented by the ""Researchers at Schools"" activities taking place all year round.
The main theme of the proposed project activities (MISSION POSSIBLE"") is inspired by the EU Missions aiming to mobilise collective efforts to tackle common challenges by 2030 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 ERN events in Cyprus since 2006, the Research and Innovation Foundation will seek to build on its accumulated experience and established collaboration with stakeholders of the local R&I ecosystem to ensure success of project activities, supported by a vibrant and diverse awareness campaign to communicate key project messages, as well as by robust impact assessment activities."
