Description du projet
Patrimoine culturel et sciences de la vie à Chypre
Le projet HUMAN_ERA Night, financé par l’UE, organisera deux Nuits européennes des chercheurs à Chypre pour mettre le grand public en relation avec des chercheurs issus de tous les domaines, afin de les sensibiliser au rôle de la recherche et de l’innovation dans la société et l’économie. Le projet organisera un événement à Limassol, en 2018, et un autre à Nicosie, en 2019, consacrés à l’Anthropocène et aux influences de l’espèce humaine sur Terre. Il adoptera une approche anthropocentrique pour mettre à l’honneur le patrimoine culturel (2018) et les sciences de la vie (2019), en les considérant comme deux miroirs différents reflétant l’évolution humaine. HUMAN_ERA Night proposera des activités éducatives et divertissantes visant à améliorer l’acceptation du travail des chercheurs et à inciter les jeunes à se lancer dans des carrières scientifiques.
Objectif
The HUMAN_ERA Night proposal aims at organising two events, one in 2018 in Limassol, and one in 2019 in Nicosia. Both events will be dedicated to the Human Era, a concept inspired from the fact that never before has the Earth been so affected by one species as is now by humans. Employing an anthropocentric approach, the HUMAN_ERA Night over the next two years aims to celebrate our Cultural Heritage (2018, on the occasion of the European Year of Cultural Heritage) and Life Sciences (2019) as two different mirrors reflecting the same image, human evolution. The Coordinator, the Research Promotion Foundation (RPF), as the National Agency for supporting Research and Innovation (R&I), has within its remit gained a long experience in organising activities for the promotion of R&I towards the public and especially the younger generation, with the European Researchers’ Night events being an integral part of its philosophy since 2006, and always with the vivid support from the National R&I System. The proposed events will be the result of a long-lasting and well established collaboration (12 years of organising European Researchers’ Night in Cyprus) of the RPF with all relevant R&I stakeholders (government, industry, academia) and civil participants ensuring maximum complementarity and open innovation at the same time. Building on past experiences, HUMAN_ERA Night will bring together researchers from all sectors and disciplines, along with the public, increasing appreciation of the researchers’ work, raising awareness on the importance of R&I for society and the economy and motivating young people to take up a career in research. Through a balanced mix of educational and entertaining, interactive activities, aiming at people of all ages, genders and educational backgrounds, the events will celebrate R&I achievements, especially EU funded and will ultimately remove stereotypes about the researchers’ profession, creating a much needed R&I culture among the Cypriot population.
