Description du projet
Connecter la science et la société en Lombardie
Le rôle de la science dans notre société est de générer de nouvelles connaissances pour relever les défis modernes, améliorer l’éducation et la qualité de vie. Cependant, la science et la technologie restent souvent obscures pour les personnes non-expertes, ce qui crée un fossé entre les citoyens et les scientifiques. Avec le soutien du programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA), le projet Co.Science vise à promouvoir la recherche et l’innovation, en rendant l’enseignement des sciences attrayant pour les jeunes et en dotant les chercheurs d’outils de communication efficaces. Le projet permettra de créer des forums publics pour l’interaction entre les chercheurs et les citoyens, d’améliorer les compétences de communication des chercheurs et d’établir un réseau pour impliquer les citoyens dans les efforts scientifiques. Il proposera également des formations pour les chercheurs et des programmes éducatifs dans les écoles de six villes de Lombardie, en Italie.
Objectif
The role of science in our societies is strongly related to the creation of new knowledge to face the big challenges of our modern world, the improvement of education, and the increment of life quality. However, science and technology are often hidden from non-expert eyes, generating a gap between citizens and scientists. To thrive, science requires support, communication, and discussion. The Co.Science project aims to connect science to society by promoting the importance of research and innovation, by making science education attractive for youngsters, and by providing researchers with effective communication tools, bringing them closer to the citizens. The way to achieve these goals will go through 1. the implementation of public spaces where researchers and citizens meet face to face; 2. the empowerment of researchers in their communication skills; 3. the establishment of an ecosystem of people and institutions working together to engage citizens in science and 4. the public recognition's boosting of research and science education. The proposal is supported by a consortium of formal and informal learning institutions working together with institutional and civil stakeholders for effective and lasting public engagement and new and appealing opportunities to interact with citizens. The Co.Science project will specifically train researchers on the enhancement of their communication skills and it will organize two ERN editions, implementing educational initiatives in the schools. ERNs will be implemented in six important cities of Lombardy in Italy (Milano, Como, Varese, Busto Arsizio, Lodi, and Lecco) creating cross-disciplinary and multi-topic diffuse events on STEAM fields and promoting the European scientific culture. During the related school years, we will propose active learning actions in the schools owing to the presence of researchers among the students, thus re-building confidence, which is fundamental for our communities.
