Objective
"AREA Science Weeks" is a project organized by AREA Science Park, Italy's most important science park, located in Trieste on the border with Slovenia. The specific ASW objectives are: 1. higher percentage of secondary school students that decide to take u p technical and scientific university studies; 2. higher percentage of female secondary school students that decide to take up technical and scientific university studies; 3. more awareness by the public at large of the role and impact of the work of resea rchers in society. The project will be scheduled in four science weeks, each one dedicated to a specific topic: 1. new materials and nanotechnologies; 2. recycling and reuse of waste products; 3. biomolecular medicine; 4. astrophysics. Each science week wi ll include a series of interactive training activities for schools as well as popular conference for the public at large involving at least one internationally-renown expert and several local researchers. A convenient number of female speakers will be pres ent to provide reference models to future female researchers and to eradicate society's deeply-rooted preconception whereby scientific research is a typically male activity. Other local and Slovenian institutions and representatives from the business worl d (especially SMEs) will be involved in organizing the event, so as to encourage young researchers not to confine their career expectations to the academic world alone. The project output could be subsequently integrated in similar activities, setting the grounds for the creation of a permanent network for the promotion of the researcher's role and the dissemination of scientific culture. The project outcome could easily be transferred also to other contexts.
