15 of the most prestigious universities and research institutions, distributed throughout the entire Romanian territory, covering the main educational cities (Bucharest, Constanta, Cluj, Craiova, Timisoara, Iasi, Sibiu, Suceava) have joined forces to engage the Romanian public in a nation-wide exercise of changing the perception about the current research and innovation activity in which these institutions are involved, permanently connected as in a grid with similar institutions from all over the world, and especially with the European ones.
Covering various topics in the field of science, highlighting the importance of research in the technological evolution, the EU-funded DoReMi-RO Night project aims to increase knowledge on researchers’ work through minds-on experiments and to create an understanding of the impact of scientific results on citizen's daily life.
Constrained by the pandemic evolution of Covid-19, the public outreach activities carried out in online format further underlined the need to raise awareness of the research. More than ever, the public understood both the need to develop a vaccine through research and to ensure its distribution in the European Community.
