Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

The ERN is an event allowing to create a direct link between researchers and the public. This is useful both for researchers and the public. Researchers are trained for this specific type of communication and confront their research subjects with the public. This encounter brings interesting questions, but also joy and motivation for researchers to keep on their work. This is especially important for young researchers that can sometimes feel isolated. The public gains knowledge about scientific subjects, but more importantly about research itself: how it is to work in a lab, how do researchers get funding for their works, how much does this and this cost... These questions about detail provide information about "real" research, and not only the image of it that exist in TV Shows, or in some parts of social media, very suspicious about research. With this information, people can make up their mind, change their views, to adjust to the testimonies and answers of the researchers in front of them.

With a lockdown situation, and an omnipresent scientific subject (COVID-19), organizing an event allowing to join a friendly and playful encounter to cheer up the minds, and strong scientific exchanges with the participation of researchers themselves is particularly important.

Lavoro eseguito dall’inizio del progetto fino alla fine del periodo coperto dalla relazione e principali risultati finora ottenuti

Organization of a fully online event in which participated 600 researchers and 80.000 visitors across all the French territory, but also across Europe and the world.
14 simultaneous events in different cities in metropolitan France and in La Réunion island.
More than 50 hours of live broadcast, in one evening, and 150 videos to watch during and after the event.
Presence on various social media (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok), reaching a wide range of public.
Highlight of European research programs in all cities, in various activities (live show, videos, podcasts, zoom meetings...)

A very high satisfaction from the public, despite a general fatigue about online activities.

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

The success of the event shows that online activities can be highly interactive. Our speed searching online has been replicated by many organizations in France outside of the consortium, showing that our activities have been adopted by the professionals, the researchers, and the public.
