Descrizione del progetto
Mettere in contatto le persone con la scienza e la ricerca a Saragozza
La settima Notte europea dei ricercatori di Saragozza ha sensibilizzato il pubblico all’importanza del lavoro in ambito scientifico, coinvolgendo i ricercatori e creando un gruppo di sostenitori. Il progetto Wanderlust, finanziato dall’UE, organizzerà l’ottava Notte europea dei ricercatori di Saragozza con l’obiettivo di mettere in contatto il grande pubblico con i ricercatori e il loro lavoro. Il progetto ha scelto il nome Wanderlust perché significa conoscenza attraverso il viaggio, il raggiungimento di nuovi luoghi e l’incontro con culture diverse. L’evento sosterrà e formerà i ricercatori sui modi per presentare e discutere del proprio lavoro con il pubblico. Wanderlust coinvolgerà i cittadini, sensibilizzandoli prima dell’evento, e realizzerà una fiera della scienza per coinvolgere i bambini e comunicare ai giovani che «La scienza è divertente».
Obiettivo
"Wanderlust is the Zaragoza European Researchers Night 8th edition design to aproach researchers to general public. We chose Wanderlust because it means travel, it menas the desire to know more, to reach new places, to be inspired from different cultures. We think it is a metaphore, and it represents the spirit of the researchers life, and it easy connect with people. It also a good approach to the european dimension of the research, and it is easy researchers identificate themself with the project. The event will be a ""fiesta"" of outreach in Zaragoza. The last year we have increase awareness of public, we increase visitors, researchers involve and we managed to create a group of stakeholdes who support the project. The key of the susccess of our event is the know how of ESCIENCIA who manage the project in Aragon from 2011, becouse it is a SME speciallize in science communication. We support researchers to deseign their activities, we train them how to speak to public, and we work both with enthusiastic public and science reluctant public in our project. The wanderlust is a perfect claim to address public at large. It is an easy way to citizens to become part of the event. The feeling of explore is a common point for most public. We are working with Educational deparments of Spannish, Aragon and Zaragoza governments. We have already signed letter of endorsement of Aragon and Zaragoza. The project has a Science Fair as a point ot reach pupils. It is an effective way to rise awareness prior to the event, to involve schools and communicate ""science is fun"" to young people. In the three last edition we have pool the participants and the remark the Science Fair as ""Fun and Challenged"". The European Researchers Night in Zaragoza will take place in the Center of the city, in the whereabouts of CaxiaForum one of the most emblematic and futuristics buildings of Zaragoza. We will make aware of the night 375.000 people and 16000 will take part in activities."
