Project description
Bridging science, art and society for a sustainable future
In a world facing mounting environmental and social challenges, the disconnect between science, art, and society has never been more apparent. Traditional approaches to research often overlook the holistic nature of sustainability and fail to engage citizens effectively. Meanwhile, underrepresented groups, particularly girls, remain sidelined in scientific pursuits. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the SuperScienceMe project seeks to redefine the relationship between art, science, and society, championing sustainability, inclusivity, and collaboration at its core. It explores the art-science-society nexus. It focuses on citizen involvement, research excellence, public understanding, and nurturing scientific curiosity. By embracing those often branded as ‘useless’, it ensures inclusivity, empowers youth, and reaches underserved communities.
Objective
"SuperScienceMe - Research is your Elevation aims at redefining the relationship between art, science, and society, with a strong focus on sustainability and inclusion. Inspired by the New European Bauhaus, championing a holistic approach to sustainability and interweaving environmental, social, and cultural dimensions, and by Prof. Nuccio Ordine's illuminating work ""The Usefulness of the Useless"" this initiative transcends conventional boundaries, advocating for a collaborative ethos where citizens converge with researchers.
The strategic objectives of the project are articulated in four main pillars: (1) to enhance citizen involvement in all stages of the R&I process, (2) to promote excellence in research projects across Europe and beyond, (3) to cultivate a deeper understanding of the EU among the general public, and (4) to elevate the interests of next generations in research and scientific careers, by igniting their curiosity and passion, with a specific focus on girls.
Central to our approach is an unwavering commitment to open science, an endeavor to democratize knowledge and break down barriers that hinder accessibility. Through a series of immersive experiences, workshops, and interactive exhibitions, we invite participants to explore the multifaceted intersections of art and science, encouraging dialogue and exchange among experts and the public alike. Through this collective effort, we envisage a future where the pursuit of knowledge is cherished not only for its utility but also for the transformative beauty it imparts to our lives.
SuperScienceMe will forge a legacy that affirms the indispensable role of the ""useless"" in sculpting the future of humanity, (1) ensuring it is inclusive in addressing the complex challenges of our time, (2) creating unique learning opportunities for pupils through direct interaction with researchers and (3) reaching out to underprivileged communities who may not have easy access to scientific resources or formal education."
