Find Research Everywhere, SHare and expERience

Description du projet

Renforcer l’engagement du public dans la recherche en Bulgarie

Dans le cadre de l’Année internationale de la santé des plantes (AISP) 2020, le projet FRESHER, financé par l’Union européenne, sensibilisera le public à la manière dont la protection de la santé des plantes peut contribuer à éliminer la faim, à réduire la pauvreté, à protéger l’environnement et à stimuler le développement économique. Basée en Bulgarie, l’initiative réunira des universités, des instituts de recherche, des partenaires associés et l’Académie des sciences du pays autour de l’organisation de la Nuit des chercheurs européens qui portera sur ce thème. Elle aura pour principal objectif de renforcer l’engagement du public en faveur de la recherche et d’encourager les jeunes à se lancer dans des carrières scientifiques. Le projet organisera une série d’événements dans 25 villes et villages, en accordant une attention particulière à délivrer des messages pertinents aux publics les plus mal desservis, tels que les personnes ayant des besoins particuliers et les jeunes en danger de décrochage scolaire.

Objectif

Twenty partners in Bulgaria come together for European Researchers Night ‘20 to present FRESHER (Find Research Everywhere, SHare and expERience) - a 12-month project led by the Centre for Research & Analysis, in a Consortium, now in its 5th year, with the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, universities, research institutes, the only Bulgarian tech park, a chamber of industry and commerce, the local office of a pan-European organisation, education entrepreneurship, and associate partners. FRESHER offers a series of specially curated, coordinated, multi-day participatory events at over 50 venues and 30+ schools in 25 cities/towns/villages. The talks, shows, hands-on experiments, lab visits, citizen research, competitions will reach 3.6 mln, and engage directly with 30,000 in face-to-face events at schools, libraries, museums, academic and outdoor venues, public transport and online. Building on well researched, popular formats for researchers’ engagement with the public, FRESHER provides multidisciplinary content around the International Year of Plant Health. The topic will feature in the programmes of all partners to assert the relevance of research to everyday life. Building on the Consortium’s existing understanding developed through previous local initiatives including Researchers Night, and addressing findings of research (MASIS report, Education & Training Monitor 2019 for Bulgaria, Women in Digital Scoreboard 2019, Science, Research & Innovation Performance in EU 2018), FRESHER focuses on enhancing public engagement with research and shortening the gap in the decision of young people and girls in particular to choose STEAM careers. The activities will step on previous evaluation and generate fresh, aligned data. The project will strengthen the capacity of all partners to organise accessible events for the general public, and to tailor messages for underserved audiences, including girls, young people at risk of school drop-out, as well as people with special needs.
