Science is the Captain

Descrizione del progetto

Promuovere la ricerca e la scienza in Georgia

L’UE considera prioritario promuovere la ricerca e la scienza in Europa e sensibilizzare il grande pubblico sui vantaggi sociali forniti dal lavoro scientifico. Il progetto CAPTAIN, finanziato dall’UE, intende far crescere l’interesse pubblico verso la scienza, evidenziare il modo in cui questa influisce sulla vita quotidiana della popolazione georgiana e rivelare i legami invisibili tra la scienza e altri ambiti, quali la cultura, lo sport e la letteratura. Il progetto organizzerà eventi su larga scala che si terranno contemporaneamente in sei città georgiane, con diversi obiettivi: spiegare il lavoro dei ricercatori, generare un atteggiamento più favorevole verso la ricerca e l’innovazione, ridurre gli stereotipi sul lavoro dei ricercatori, mostrare il ruolo svolto dalla ricerca nel miglioramento della vita quotidiana e stimolare l’economia. Inoltre, esso incentiverà un numero maggiore di giovani a perseguire una carriera nell’ambito della ricerca.
