Objective
"The objective of the Project is to raise the awareness of the larger public, especially young people, about science as well as to familiarize them with the scientist’s profession; to show the impact of sciences such as chemistry, energetic and material sciences on everyday human life; to bring researchers closer to the Latvian society and to raise the interest of young people about research Aim of the activities is to enhance public recognition of researchers and their role in Latvian society. The theme of the Researcher's Night in Latvia is “The Energy Story”. A number of relaxing, attractive, amazing and interactive events will be organized in eight towns - Riga, Salaspils, Daugavpils, Rezekne, Jelgava, Cesis, Valmiera and Ventspils. The project will be realized by joint efforts of the Latvian Academy of Sciences, several Universities, and research institutes and with participation of museums and libraries. The Researchers’ Night will be preceded by a promotion campaign in mass media. The scope of activities will include establishing a European stand, organizing a Café Scientifique; scenic play performed by researchers; public meeting with Marie Curie scholarship holders; arranging a series of events with scientific interactive experiments and quizzes in research institutes and universities. An opinion survey will be performed to size up the viewpoints of public on the event and researchers’ profession. The opinion poll results and analysis of Internet comments on the event will allow evaluating the impact Researchers’ Night and collecting ideas for future activities."
