Belgian Researchers’ Initiatives to Heat That NIGHT 2

Objective

"On the 28th of September 2007, four big events will be organised in three Belgian cities in the frame of the European Researchers’ night. Six partners have joined their forces in a consortium coordinated by the Belgian Federal Science Policy (BELSPO), including four of the biggest Belgian universities and four federal scientific Institutes merged for the occasion in a unique Space Pole. All partners agreed on a common publicity campaign, a common communication and last but not least; a common theme Save the Planet, putting forward very actual branches of Sciences (Climatology, Geology, Astronomy,...) but leaving space for other disciplines to get connected. Next to this, freedom has been given to the partners, so the Belgian researchers’ night will be the unique opportunity to see a Fashion show with recycled items, followed by a fantastic concert in Brussels, a “water celebration” show in Louvain-la-Neuve, a pedestrian rally ""Science in the city” in Liège will give the opportunity to the public to see ,among others, men feeding sharks, and for the very first time in Belgium, an astonishing full-dome shows presenting the Planet earth will be shown at the Planetarium (in the 23m-dome of the Planetarium),. The main message that the organisers intend to communicate is that researchers are people like you and me, and that we need researchers in our daily life, but also we need them to save the planet. After that evening, researchers will be considerated much closer from the audience, having as consequence that research and science can be envisageable for a future career"
