Science promotion in Bistita-Nasaud county

Dedicated to bringing researchers closer to the public, the annual European Researchers’ Night events in Romania focus on showing how science impacts daily life. The EU-funded Science4future project will organise the 2020 events in the small town of Bistrița in northern Transylvania. Since events like this are rather rare outside the big cities, it will be a unique opportunity for the residents of Bistrița. The project's aims are to combat some of the stereotypes that the public has about scientists and encourage young people to pursue careers in research. The main concept proposed for 2020 is to reduce the passive presentation of what it means to be a researcher by involving the people directly in different interactive activities such as games, workshops and debates.
