Objective Light’11 is conceived as an event driving a cultural change about researchers for the benefit of research-end users. Light’11 will take place in Rome, the capital of the country, and in 4 additional locations in the South of Italy thus covering large part of the country. Light’11 makes scientists from all over Italy converge to Rome, Benevento, Cosenza, Palermo and Bari. Light’11 will last from 5.p.m. on 23 September to 1.a.m on 24 September.Light is celebrating its 4th year of life. As in previous editions, we dedicate the RN to a specific theme. This year Light’11 is dedicated to: “Real science and TV fictions” in order to show that real scientists may be as interesting and attracting as those proposed by TV fictions and that science is continuously shaping our daily existence in order to improve the understanding of the world around us and to stimulate curiosity for further developments. We will use the protagonists of science-related TV shows as a springboard for dialogue with the public in order to improve the image of scientistsIn order to ignite people’s curiosity towards scientists’ work, Light’11 will set-up a number of actions/events during the whole RN. The actions will be run in continuation in all the locations allowing visitors to freely pass from one area to the other without waiting for something to happen.The activities will be organised around 5 main areas:o Hands-on workshops with live demonstrations and hands-on experiments;o “Big ideas from young minds” area, where potential tomorrow's scientists will present their special achievements;o “Globe Science Theatre” where groups of artists/sportsmen that have at least one member of the performing team actively engaged with scientific research will be on stage during the whole RN;o Outside activities on sports and musico European Corner with Marie Curie research and training networks’ teams witnessing and answering public demands; Programme(s) FP7-PEOPLE - Specific programme "People" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) Topic(s) FP7-PEOPLE-2011-NIGHT - Marie-Curie Action: "Researchers' Night" Call for proposal FP7-PEOPLE-2011-NIGHT See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CSA-SA - Support actions Coordinator CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE DELLE RICERCHE EU contribution € 10 700,00 Address PIAZZALE ALDO MORO 7 00185 Roma Italy See on map Region Centro (IT) Lazio Roma Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Rossella Palomba (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (2) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all TRIPLAN SRL Italy EU contribution € 94 135,00 Address VIA DEGLI APUANI 4 00185 ROMA See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Alexander J.
