Research and Education to Nourish Society

Objective

Food is central to human life, health, culture, economy, and social relationships. It not only sustains us physically but also shapes our identities, traditions, and communities. The agri-food sector represents a key part of the European economy, involving research across biotechnology, digital technologies, sustainability, and climate neutrality.

RE-NOURISH builds on this understanding, starting from the European Alliance EU-GIFT to integrate its activities with the objectives of the MSCA and Citizens Action. RE-NOURISH connects 7 universities from different countries and aims to strengthen the link between science and society within a European dimension, by organising two editions of the European Researchers’ Night and of Researchers at School.

RE-NOURISH aims to redefine the relationship between research and citizens through inclusive, participatory activities. Its objectives are to:
– promote awareness of research’s societal relevance and strengthen researchers’ roles in local communities;
– increase citizens’ trust in science by humanising researchers, showcasing creativity, and aligning universities with civic and European values;
– communicate EU policy priorities and demonstrate how EU-funded research addresses global and local challenges;
– inspire young people toward science careers through school programmes and hands-on activities.

Inclusion is at the project’s core, with special attention to rural communities, reflecting the geographical context of EU-GIFT. Methodologically, RE-NOURISH follows a co-design, bottom-up approach involving researchers and teachers, to create diverse and engaging events across all disciplines.

By embedding science into everyday life, RE-NOURISH promotes greener, fairer, and more resilient communities. It targets the general public, especially youth, highlighting research as both a driver of progress and an attractive career path.
