United Europe – United Science – United Culture – United Night

Project description

Discovering the science world in Poznan

The EU-funded UNIGHTED project will organise a Researchers’ Night in Poznan in 2018 and 2019 to engage the public in discovering the interdisciplinary character of science and the contribution of researchers to make life better, through entertaining activities and revealing the European heritage’s influence. The project will allow the audience to see scientists from different fields in action and participate in an innovative interdisciplinary ‘Where Sciences Converge’ event. The public will visit research laboratories and meet researchers’ work, observe how robots help in telemedicine, how new technologies influence interpersonal relationships, uncover the mysteries of meteorites, and perform experiments in biotechnology. The project will reveal that scientists are ordinary people involved in fascinating work.

Objective

Researchers’ Night in Poznan is back! UNIGHTED is “United Europe – United Science – United Culture – United Night”! The project is a unique undertaking of science united, an opportunity to see in action scientists from different fields working together. Discover the interdisciplinary character of science, check out how various areas of science complement each other to make our life better. Take part in an innovative interdisciplinary event “Where sciences converge” and observe how scientists in various areas of science collaborate for the common good. Have a glance into research laboratories and see up close the nature of researchers’ work; observe how robots help in telemedicine, enter FutureSmartSpace and see how new technologies influence interpersonal relationships; carry out experiments in a biotechnology laboratory; uncover the mysteries of meteorites, join in dance and sports. Find out that people of science are ordinary people and their work is simply fascinating. In the context of “United Europe – United Science – United Culture” learn how common European heritage has been influencing a variety of sciences, and how researchers have been working for the common good of entire Europe. And all that thanks to science presented in a fun and straightforward way (edutainment). The UNIGHTED project contains a continuation of projects from previous 11 editions as well as many new ideas. Year after year more participants are attracted to Researchers’ Night as new generations grow up, interested in science and people of science. Every year new venues are opened and programmes are enlarged in order to accept all those interested. This year’s project aims to build on the previous ones and to shed light on novel aspects of science: its interdisciplinary character, common research work for Europe and Europeans. Researchers’ Night both in 2018 and 2019 shall be a great celebration of science, a family fun as well as an alternative to traditional Friday night activities.
