Project description
Improving public engagement with STEM
The presence of global and local crises, such as climate change, has led organisations and countries to push for more funding and support for STEM fields and organisations. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the i3 project, in collaboration with STEM practitioners, researchers, and policymakers, aims to increase public engagement with STEM and enhance the appeal of STEM careers and opportunities for students, youth, and promising candidates. To achieve this, they will work with R&D centres, institutions, and universities to run a series of events and workshops focusing on STEM topics and disciplines, the impact of researchers on technological innovation, and their contributions to quality of life and the humanities.
Objective
The i3 (Imagine, Innovate, Impact) project aims to promote public engagement with STEM by creating stronger links between researchers and the general public. It unites STEM practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and the public to increase the general public awareness of research and innovation endeavors, support public recognition of researchers, to have stronger support and sense of ownership of research enterprises, to create relevance of researchers’ work on citizen’s daily life and the material world, to support capacity building among young researchers via engagement training, and to encourage young people to become “agents of change” by pursuing their research careers in STEM fields. Bringing top-quality universities, R&D centers, and institutions in STEM engagement and energizing their willingness to “embrace change” will significantly contribute to a wider recognition of research and innovation. The i3 project includes 10 main strands: (i) STEM Slam, (ii) Café Scientific - Meet the Scientist, (iii) STEM Expo, (iv) Guided Visits to Research and Development Labs, (v) Hands- and Minds-on STEM workshops, (vi) Science Shows, (vii) European Union Corner, (viii) Games, (ix) Science Movies, and (x) Concert. Topics and disciplines are structured among STEM with an emphasis on researchers’ contribution and impact on humanities, showcase technological advancement, and promote cutting-edge technological products. That is why our motto is i3: imagine, innovate, impact. In a way, the project might light a spark in the participants’ minds and actions. The i3 project will be held in five cities from east to west, north to central Anatolia.
