Descrizione del progetto
Far conoscere al pubblico la ricerca in tutta Dublino
Il Trinity College di Dublino organizzerà gli eventi della Notte europea dei ricercatori con una svolta quest’anno. Infatti, creerà un evento innovativo a livello urbano in giro per Dublino per evidenziare il fatto che la ricerca sta avendo luogo in tutta la città. Il progetto START, finanziato dall’UE, garantirà che i ricercatori partecipanti e il pubblico in generale abbiano l’opportunità di interagire tra loro attraverso una combinazione di attività, dimostrazioni, visite guidate e colloqui. L’obiettivo del progetto è che queste iniziative interattive creino nuovi dialoghi che si tradurranno in un coinvolgimento più profondo e duraturo. Inoltre, aumenterà la consapevolezza della ricerca e delle carriere nell’ambito della ricerca come forze sociali positive e metterà in evidenza il ruolo importante dell’UE nel sostenere la ricerca e le scoperte.
Obiettivo
European Researchers’ Night events have been held at Trinity College Dublin every year since 2013. Each year has seen a growth in the number of Trinity researchers taking part, and in the levels of engagement with the general public. Previous iterations of European Researchers’ Night at Trinity have been coordinated by an individual school, usually in collaboration with Science Gallery Dublin. In a radical departure, the Office of the Dean of Research in partnership with the British Council Ireland, will host START as part of European Researchers’ Night 2020.
Based on the idea Start Talking About Research Today, Trinity will create an innovative city-wide event that will activate various sites around Dublin to highlight the fact that research takes place all over our city and takes many forms. START will provide an opportunity for the general public and researchers to engage with each other in new ways. Through a combination of activities, demonstrations, tours, talks and more, START will promote the idea that research is a living, fundamental part of our society that impacts on and involves everyone.
START will work to achieve a number of specific goals: 1. Create new dialogues between researchers and the general public that will lead to a deeper, more profound and sustained engagement with each other; 2. Raise awareness of research and research careers as positive forces in our society; 3. Highlight the role of the European Union in supporting research and discovery.
Public engagement and communications workshops will be offered to all MSCA-funded researchers, as well as other participants in the events on the Night. A series of activities and showcases will be conducted to raise awareness in the months preceding European Researchers’ Night. Trinity has a wealth of talent and experience in public engagement activities including previous ERN events, and the project team will draw on this expertise to ensure that START is grounded in best practice.
