Project description
Catalan European research night for changing the world
Rising crises like climate change have created a need for new researchers and scientists, a need that the EU is trying to satisfy. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the NitRecerCat2425 project will organise the Catalan European Researchers’ Night (ERN) for 2024 and 2025, along with the Researchers at Schools (R@S) activity. The two ERNs will collaborate with 9 partners to bring together roughly 30 000 researchers and their research, along with an additional 10 000 students, for a wide variety of activities throughout Catalonia. The R@S programme will provide in-depth interaction with Catalan institutions at 15 schools. The results of these efforts will encourage researchers and students to improve the world through research.
Objective
"The Catalan European Researchers’ Night project consists in a two years proposal for 2024 and 2025. The overall proposal is centred on two main activities: The European Researchers’ Night (ERN) and Researchers at Schools (R@S). The well-known ERN will be held on 27 September 2024 and on 26 September 2025. During two years, nine partners will bring research and researchers closer to more than 30,000 people and, 10000 students with nearly 500 activities which will be performed all throughout Catalonia. A part of ERN, Researchers at Schools (R@S) are designed, adding a much better and longer interaction of pupils with the research from the Catalan institutions. 15 schools will become #NitEduCat Schools, with two-years of stable collaboration between a team of researchers and the schools. The proposal aims at making the public aware about the present mission-oriented program of European Commission, mainly in the idea of how Researchers can help to change the world to a better one. #NitRecerCat is divided in two activities:
• Catalan European Researchers’ Night (Nit Europea de la Recerca, ERN)
o “La Nit Catalana de la Recerca” – More than 250 activities for each edition are programmed during Friday evening/night. A common “El Racó d’Europa” will be allocated in each location together with Women in Science exhibition.
o “Ensopega’t amb la Recerca” – During Friday/Saturday morning, research will be found in everyday locations, from markets, to museums, malls, bars, etc,
• Researchers at School – (R@S)
o NitEduCat Schools –Development of 5-medium-long-term projects that promote stable collaboration between a team of researchers and primary/secondary school.
o “La Recerca va a l’Escola” – Special campaigns will be done for Research visiting School. Researcher will encourage students to follow a scientific career.
o “Tenim Experts!” – A list of experts will be offered to primary schools, in order to have pupils interacting with researchers in their school project."
