Project description DEENESFRITPL Promoting researchers and their work in Italy To promote research and researchers’ contribution to everyday life, the EU funded MEET project will organise a series of activities and events.

Specifically, it will realise a special meeting and interaction between the general public and researchers, where researchers could show off their work and achievements in a simple, spontaneous, informal and entertaining way, and by actively involving the public. Particular attention will be on young people. One of the project’s main aims is to promote research as a career option.

People, by doing, find themselves learning, getting amused, and becoming aware of how much research is for everyone and all around us.All MEET activities aim at promoting research and its outcomes, researchers and their profession, with a special attention to the youngest generations on one side, and to the recognition of the role of Europe on the other. With five thematic areas and five flagship topics, MEET proposes interactive stands, hands-on experiments and live demos that reconstruct the research environment; conferences, video projections, interactive games; guided visits to scientific museums; meeting occasions with researchers; European Corners; live broadcast moments. A special attention is given to schools’ pupils, for which a number of dedicated activities are foreseen, at the goal of encouraging them to consider research career as a concrete option for their life.
