Descripción del proyecto
La Noche de los Investigadores 2020 en la Toscana
El proyecto BRIGHT-NIGHT, financiado con fondos europeos, se llevará a cabo en el marco de la Noche Europea de los Investigadores que se celebra anualmente en toda Europa a finales de septiembre. BRIGHT-NIGHT organizará actividades en la Toscana (Italia) para promover las actividades de investigadores entre la población, especialmente entre jóvenes estudiantes. El proyecto prevé cientos de eventos en universidades, museos, jardines botánicos, edificios institucionales y centros urbanos en torno al vigésimo aniversario de la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea y la Agenda 2030 de las Naciones Unidas. Se espera que, gracias al esfuerzo del proyecto BRIGHT-NIGHT, el público en general comprenda mejor la importancia de la ciencia.
Objetivo
"The BRIGHT-NIGHT project aims to improve the visibility and image of researchers among the common people in the Tuscany Region, simultaneously with all the initiatives of the European Researchers' Night (ERN). The name BRIGHT, coined in 2013 and used in the subsequent ERN editions, was kept for the 2020 project because it is now established and recognizable throughout the entire academic community, the media and the population of Tuscany at large. Nonetheless, after 6 years it was deemed advisable to refresh the brand for the new edition adding “NIGHT” for playing on the concept that it will be a night in which the future will seem brighter thanks to the outcome of research and the passion of researchers. The project is scheduled for the year 2020 and will last from Friday to Saturday on the date scheduled for ERN. In these two days there will be hundreds of fun and exciting activities that will involve the main Tuscan cities, that will follow on from a set of preparatory events. The 20th anniversary of the European Charter of Rights and the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations constitute the framework within which the topics will be developed and declined in the directions of social and environmental sustainability. BRIGHT-NIGHT will involve the population, and in particular young students from primary and secondary schools, through the project of some scientific citizens and through pre-events spread throughout the period. This long-term involvement aims to create a strong link between researchers (who will also participate in a course on scientific communication), young students and the general population in order to make researchers more ""familiar"" and better understand to people how researchers work and live and why to trust them. The locations of the activities are: university premises, museums, botanical gardens, institutional buildings and especially streets and squares in the city centres."
