Project description
Bridging the gap between researchers and the public
In today’s rapidly advancing world, scientific research often feels distant and inaccessible to the general public. Many people are unaware of the vital role researchers play in shaping our society and improving our lives. This disconnect can hinder public support and understanding of scientific endeavours, which is crucial for future progress. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the Researcher Night project seeks to close this gap by bringing the figure of the researcher and their work closer to all segments of society. Special activities cater to people with special needs and the elderly, ensuring inclusivity. Overall, the project aims to engage and educate diverse segments of society, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of scientific endeavours.
Objective
With this project we want to bring the figure of the researcher and his work closer to the entire society. For this reason, we organize events in diferent areas of the country, we carry out actions in educational centers and we will organize activities in rural areas, disadvantaged neighborhoods, activities for people with special needs and specific activities of interest for elderly people. We want to include all areas and audiences of society. To do this, we present this project between 2 coordinators and an associated entity that complement each other. We include an entity with great experience in this project and actions to disseminate and bring science closer to society in general and an entity with a national dimension, which covers the field of culture, research and education throughout the country. All this is complemented by the participation of an associate, the Spanish association against cancer; that combines research and dissemination at the national level.
