Project description
Researchers’ Nights in northern Poland’s Pomerania
The Pomerania Region in northern Poland boasts one of the country’s most prominent academic and research hubs. Pomeranian Researchers’ Night (PRN), first organised on 29 September 2023, is a successful outcome of a grassroots initiative by the Pomeranian scientific community. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the NightMission project is building on this success by implementing PRN in 2024 and 2025 through collaboration with the Researchers at Schools initiative. Focusing on European challenges, the project aims to showcase the everyday work of scientists in the region, thereby engaging citizens with esteemed European researchers. This will involve a range of activities like workshops and information campaigns.
Objective
"Pomerania Region in northern Poland is home to 2,2 million citizens, with its center of socio-economic gravity concentrated among the seaside metropolitan area (Tri-City). It is in this area, where one of the largest and most important academic and research hubs in Poland is located, consisting of many higher education and research institutions, including those from top 20 of Polish universities. It is also a workplace for more than 7000 researchers, conducting scientific explorations in almost every field of science. Pomorska Noc Naukowców (en. Pomeranian Researchers' Night - PRN) first organized on 29th September 2023, is success of the grassroots initiative of the Pomeranian scientific community. This annual event organized on last Friday of September is first of such scale within the region, and only third one in whole country. Main goal of PRN is to establish a greater impact on the social development of the region by popularizing science, bringing scientists closer to the public, showing how their work affects our everyday life, finally: encouraging children and youth to choose a scientific career in the future.
Within the project “NightMission"" we shall develop PRN in years 2024 and 2025 by bounding it with Researchers at Schools initiative. The common denominator of activities addressed to the public will be “European challenges”, presented through the prism of the everyday work of scientists in the region. The main goal of NightMission is to achieve enhanced engagement of Pomerania region citizens with European scale excellent research and research teams, within highly inclusive space of Researchers Night and during Researchers at Schools Initiative. Project will be implemented via meetings, classes, workshops and information campaigns, and shall consolidate two main messages: ""science is shaping our everyday lives all the time"" and ""research is the answer to the challenges of the modern world""."
