Descripción del proyecto
Aumento del reconocimiento público de los investigadores en Liubliana
La Universidad de Liubliana organizó con éxito la edición 2018-2019 de la Noche Europea de los Investigadores. Esta mejoró el conocimiento de las actividades de investigación e innovación, fomentó la comprensión pública de los logros y del impacto de los investigadores y desmitificó los estereotipos sobre la profesión de los investigadores. El proyecto HUMANITIES ROCK, financiado con fondos europeos, capitaliza la experiencia del programa anterior con el objetivo de aumentar el reconocimiento público de los investigadores y alentar a los jóvenes a comenzar carreras científicas e investigadoras. El proyecto se centrará en los aspectos sociales, culturales, filosóficos, biológicos y tecnológicos de la vida humana y sus respectivos campos de investigación y prestará especial atención a las dimensiones sociales del conocimiento científico. Las actividades abarcan una amplia gama de eventos, tales como visitas directas a instituciones de investigación, exposiciones, visitas a laboratorios, concursos e intercambios de opiniones con científicos.
Objetivo
The HUMANITIES ROCK! European Researchers’ Night 2020 builds on the University of Ljubljana’s very successful 2018-2019 edition of the European Researchers’ Night.
The overall objective of the HUMANITIES ROCK! project remains the same, i.e. to increase awareness of research and innovation activities, support the public recognition of researchers, debunk stereotypes and misinformation about researchers and their profession, create a better understanding of the impact of researchers’ work on citizens’ daily lives, encourage young people to embark on research careers and increase the popularity of scientific careers by organizing innovative public engagement activities and breaking the barrier between researchers and the general public.
Since humankind is currently facing large-scale cultural and global man-made challenges, social sciences and humanities (SSH) research is becoming more important and relevant than ever, but is still often neglected and poorly utilized. The HUMANITIES ROCK! project activities therefore promote and stimulate interdisciplinary collaborations between the SSH and the natural sciences and present the humanities as an integral part of science in general. The 2020 edition revolves around the broad and wide-ranging theme “HUMANS AND RESEARCH”, presenting humans as subjects of research and as beings affected by research. The project activities focus on the biological, technological, philosophical, social and cultural aspects of human life and the research fields studying it, paying close attention to the social dimensions of scientific knowledge.
The proposed activities are targeted particularly at children, young people and science-reluctant people, and comprise direct visits, demonstrations, competitions, exhibitions, lab visits, workshops, discussions, hands-on experiments, EU corners, open days, live chats with scientists and science cafes, taking place at public venues and in research institutions, which will open their doors to visitors.
