Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Research2ALL (BRINGING CLOSER RESEARCH TO ALL, CREATING DRIVE FOR STUDYING STEM AREAS AND CHOSING A SCIENCE CARRIER)
Período documentado: 2024-05-01 hasta 2025-01-31
Through raising awareness of circular economy processes the project will contribute to the objectives of European Green Deal and the call of MSCA and Citizens 2023.
Bay Zoltán Nonprofit Ltd. for Applied Research and Hungarian Association of Environmental Enterprises will use their wide range of experiences in scientific communication to attract the most possible participants – pupils, students, teachers, adults, families, researchers, experts and professionals.
During the Reseach2ALL programmes researchers, innovators, and scientists (e.g. MSCA grant holders) will be involved with special attention to female participants and researchers. The project will cover 3 big cities in Hungary with 3500-4000 visitors in the Nights, where next to green topics (e.g. EU-corner, European Green Deal aims and their achievement; raw materials, circular economy, smart solutions, e-mobility, research careers) all separate venues will develop a lot of programmes introducing their professional specialization themes in research. Researchers at school will include a Scientific Roadshow throughout the country visiting small town schools; supplemented with a nationwide scientific award competition.
Through its awareness-raising campaign, Reseach2ALL delivers the main message of ERN to as many members of society as possible by offering interactive social events (e.g. Science Cafés, round table discussions with professionals, ad hoc science shows), with the use of modern communication tools (streaming, social media, podcasts, etc.) and a strong media campaign.
The main subject of the Researchers’ Night and the Researchers at Schools activities were sustainability and protection of environment. The event partners, exhibitors work in the field of environment and sustainability, most of them are members of the Hungarian Association of Environmental Enterprises.
