European Researchers' Night We Create Science and History

Project description

Making science accessible to the public in the West Pomerania region

What is the role of science and researchers in everyday life? What are some groundbreaking scientific discoveries that changed the world? What is special about being a researcher? These are three of the many questions the EU-funded WeCreate project will answer. To that end, it will bring together researchers from universities in Poland’s West Pomerania region. Moreover, it will create an interactive map of science and cultural heritage of Szczecin and the surrounding area including all universities and science centres, historical parks, squares and urban complexes, which will be open to the public. The project will also update its website and link with partners and other popular websites. The main goal is to enhance researchers’ public recognition.

Objective

We Create Science and History is a project that brings together researchers from all universities in West Pomeranian region. With the help of cooperating institutions acting for science and culture heritage, we will organize over 500 attractions for public coherent with assumption of WP 1 and 2 to expose researchers that stand directly behind researchers responsible for the most inspirational innovations in science that not only a local community have had benefited from. Through their work and inventions, they also create history and cultural heritage. In order to make scientific themes interesting and accessible for the public, and to encourage public to participate in the project at the same time, we will create a interactive Map of Science and Culture Heritage of Szczecin and region including: all universities and science centers, historical parks, squares and urban complexes. Most of locations shown on a virtual map will became open to the public and various number of interactive activities will be executed in accordance and coherence with the venue specifics. All those activities are being conceived as to address all categories of the public at large whichever their social status and background. Visitors will be able to find information on how science and technology expertise and information is being used for the city and province improvement. During the ERN events the scientists from universities will meet with the public in person to explain all key features of the invention, and talk about their work and achievements specially funding by EU framework programmes. The main goal of this project is to enhance researchers' public recognition, the opportunity of discovering in an attractive form a direct impact and its importance of researchers work on every aspect of the improvements of the environment that surround us, as well as to inspire and enlarge the understanding of the attractiveness of pursuing a one's career as a researcher.
