Project description
Researchers in Rome bring science to the people
Rome has a rich history in culture and science and is home to Italy’s most prominent research centres and universities. In 2019, Roman research organisations established the ScieNcETogether Network to promote collaboration in science dissemination and make science engagement more inclusive for citizens and young people. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the NET project has developed a formula to celebrate European researchers’ night. This event brings together researchers from all partner institutions and stakeholder groups in Rome (the NET village). The project will involve branch laboratories and research centres across Italy and seek partners outside the country to enhance ERN’s international dimension.
Objective
Throughout its history, Rome has been a leading centre for culture and science, and still today the city and its environs are home to Italy’s largest concentration of research centres, laboratories and universities; in fact one of the largest concentration in Europe. In 2019, the ScieNcETogether NETwork was established, primarily just by those roman research organizations that had a long-standing tradition of interaction and cooperation among them and with international scientific contests and wanted to lay the foundation for an active collaboration also in science dissemination. In these four years of joint work taught us that to make the Night a more engaging and inclusive experience and address a large number of citizens and young people, joining forces and collaboration is key and brings added value. Consequently we have developed a formula to celebrate the Night: a major event with researchers from all NET partners institutions and representative of the stakeholder groups in Rome (the NET village) but, at the same time, we are also aware that celebrating the ERN means feeling part of a larger European community. So, on the one hand we are inviting the partners’ branch laboratories and research centres scattered all over Italy (20 cities from north to south Italy) to share NET’s objectives and contribute to a national celebration, on the other hand we have searched for partners/project stakeholders outside Italy that could help us enhance the European and international dimension of the ERN. Having based our communication strategy on Marie Slodowska Curie as NET Night goodmother, it has been almost natural to look at Poland (Polish Academy of Sciences), France – (Marie Curie Museum) and Sweden (Tekniska museet | National Museum of Science and Technology), the three countries that sort of represent three different stages in the scientist’s life.
