Periodic Reporting for period 2 - FAWORIT 2014-2015 (Looking over the Horizon - horizontal priorities in research and in everyday challenges of the researchers' career!)

Okres sprawozdawczy: 2014-12-01 do 2015-11-30

The main objectives of “FAWORIT 2014-2015”, the European Researchers’ Night in Hungary in 2015, consisted of :
o Overcoming and tackling the prevailing stereotypes about researchers;
o Contributing to the enhancement of their public recognition through aspects of innovation, gender, mobility, international research and lifelong learning and
o Addressing the future generation, showing the attractiveness of research career;
o Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the European Researchers’ Night
For such a purpose, a very intensive awareness campaign was undertaken. The activities offered addressed the public at large in all its components, but a special focus was set on the young people, especially aged 5 to 24. Such targeting was expected to allow increasing the vocation for science of young people, through an increased awareness about research and innovation as a career.
Most activities, taking place in over 30 different cities, more than 100 different venues with over 1.000 different programmes, focused on the researcher seen through their career and the lively experiences of their scientific life, completed with lots of connected partners, their venues and knowledge and experiences in science.
An entertaining component was mostly present, mixed with science-linked activities, such as unique innovative drone-bike, interactive introduction of researchers’ life or IQ games and competition …
As 2015 was the “Year of Light”, lots of interesting and creative programmes were set up for promoting the relevance of the European Commission and its important role in implementing the initiative and main target of ERN. Numerous programmes reflected this target like ike “Laser show”; physical and chemical experiences “In the name of Light”; “LightCoverage” or “Create Light” … etc.
But this year was also important with regard to the 10th Anniversary of the European Researcehrs'Night, and lots of programmes were consequently oriented around this theme such as Science Cafés and High Tech Pubs before the event, anniversary cakes for children, or “Conference for 10-year old children”.
All the programmes’ and communication strategy’s purpose consisted of illustrating the fascinating, cool and exciting aspects of the researcher’s life.
Marie Curie fellows also actively participated in raising awarenesss of the European engagement in research, development and innovation, while Research EU programmes as well as Marie Curie schemes were promoted through the various European Corners.
The action was conducted by the consortium supported by stakeholders from academia and industry, non-profit and for-profit organisations, with the contributing participation of schools, a cluster, and a multinational company.
