Project description DEENESFRITPL Promoting research careers in Latvia What does the general public know about researchers and their work? Not enough. This is why the EU-funded NIGHTLV-2018-2019 project has set out to increase public awareness, especially among young people. The project will work towards bringing researchers closer to the public in order to promote the beneficial impacts of research on all aspects of daily life. Specifically, it will organise activities across Latvia in partnership with the State Education Development Agency as well as nine universities/colleges and eight research institutions. The activities will range from hands-on experiments to demonstrations and quizzes. Overall, the project will help increase the visibility of the researcher profession and contribute towards increasing young people’s interest in pursuing a career in research.
