Descripción del proyecto
Un impulso científico para la juventud en Irlanda
Las iniciativas para animar a los jóvenes a estudiar ciencias y carreras en el ámbito de la ciencia es una prioridad para la Unión Europea (UE). En este contexto, el Concurso de Jóvenes Científicos de la UE (EUCYS, por sus siglas en inglés) ha impulsado la ciencia y la investigación en toda Europa desde 1989, al reunir a jóvenes con talento. El objetivo del EUCYS es aumentar las iniciativas para atraer a los jóvenes a carreras del ámbito científico y tecnológico. El proyecto EUCYS2018, financiado con fondos europeos, ha organizado el concurso por segunda vez en Irlanda a través de Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition Limited en estrecha colaboración con el Departamento de Educación y Habilidades irlandés. El proyecto reúne a jóvenes investigadores excelentes de docenas de países. Irlanda cuenta con cincuenta y cuatro años de experiencia organizando un concurso nacional irlandés para jóvenes científicos, lo cual lo convierte en la competición más antigua de este tipo en Europa.
Objetivo
European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS) has been organised since 1989 with the aim of promoting science and research among Europe's youth and bringing together the talented young people across Europe. The young scientists also have the chance to meet others with similar abilities and interests and to be guided by some of the most prominent scientists in Europe. This way EUCYS seeks to strengthen the efforts made in each participating country to attract young people to careers in science and technology. EUCYS has been organised in countries across Europe with the aim of promoting science and research in different countries and bringing research and young talents into spotlight in these countries. Ireland will organise EUCYS for the second time in 2018, after hosting it for the first time in 2004. Ireland also has previous experience in organising an Irish National contest for young scientists for the last 54 years, the longest running competition of its kind in Europe. The host organiser of EUCYS 2018 will be Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition Limited in close cooperation with the Irish Department for Education and Skills.
EUCYS brings together excellent young researchers from 40-69 countries. During 4 days the participating projects will be interviewed by jury members and decisions about European Union prizes, special prizes and host organisation prizes will be made.
