Descripción del proyecto
Una noche para promover la ciencia y la investigación en Túnez
En colaboración con H2020, Túnez ha emprendido con éxito iniciativas destinadas a promover la imagen y los logros de la investigación científica. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos GREEN NIGHT organizará el Tunisian Researchers’ and Citizens’ Green Deal (Acuerdo Ecológico de los Investigadores y Ciudadanos de Túnez), el segundo evento de este tipo celebrado en el país basado en el compromiso de los participantes en la investigación. El proyecto tiene por objeto presentar los logros de los investigadores y hacer que el público en general conozca mejor las actividades de investigación e innovación. Se centrará en cuestiones relativas al medio ambiente, la seguridad energética y la calidad de vida y de los alimentos, y busca alentar a los jóvenes a que se dediquen a la investigación. El ministro tunecino de Educación Superior e Investigación Científica organizará una serie de eventos basados en un modelo respetuoso con el medio ambiente, los cuales contarán con la participación de la comunidad de investigación e innovación, organizaciones de la sociedad civil y estructuras de apoyo científico.
Objetivo
‘GREEN NIGHT’ is the second experience of Tunisia (after the 'LiLa JemILA' project which has been granted the status of associated event during the last edition) in the European Researchers’ Night after being associated to H2020.
A diverse team of experts in scientific research and science communication, from the research and innovation community along with Civil Society Organizations (CSO), have been gathered by the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MHESR) having the sole target of the organization of the Researcher's Night activities for the year 2020.
Deeply aware that researchers are an integral part of the community and that their profession is both fun, challenging, interesting and worth pursuing, the MHESR has fixed as main objective of the project to bring them to the general public and to increase awareness of research and innovation activities specifically leading to a cleaner environment and a better quality of life. Key issues will be enhancing the public recognition of researchers' work, a better understanding of the impact of their work on citizen's daily life, and encouraging young people to embark on research careers developed to ensure real sustainability, zero pollution, affordable secure energy, smarter transport and high quality foods.
To achieve these objectives the multi-sites GREEN NIGHT will be held in the Tunisian Science City (CST), the Monastir Science Palace (PSM) and the Science Village of Tataouine (VST), on the 25th September 2020 (starting during Friday afternoon and lasting till Saturday morning). A series of activities will be conducted before and during these events based on an eco-friendly model that will aim a ZERO pollution level by using a paperless approach, less plastic, less ink, less fossil fuels and reducing the amounts of waste generated.
