Description du projet
Promouvoir la science et la recherche dans une petite ville roumaine
Visant à rapprocher les chercheurs du public, les événements annuels de la Nuit européenne des chercheurs en Roumanie entendront montrer l’impact de la science sur le quotidien. Le projet Science4future, financé par l’UE, organisera les évènements de 2020 dans la petite ville de Bistrița dans le nord de la Transylvanie. Les événements de ce type étant plutôt rares en dehors des grandes villes, cela représentera une occasion unique pour les résidents de Bistrița. Les objectifs du projet consistent à combattre certains stéréotypes du public à propos des scientifiques et à encourager les jeunes à poursuivre des carrières dans le domaine de la recherche. Le principal concept proposé pour 2020 est de rendre la présentation du métier de chercheur plus positive en impliquant les personnes directement dans différentes activités interactives comme des jeux, des ateliers et des débats.
Objectif
Science plays a major role in the development of a society. Despite this, the general population of Romania has little knowledge about the impact of research on all aspects of life.
In this context, events that advertise science among the general public are very welcome. Another strong argument in favour of organising the science popularization event in Bistrița is that this kind of events usually take place in major cities, while in small and medium towns they are very rare, so their population is missing the opportunity to discover science from a different perspective; in turn, this lack of information facilitates the occurrence of stereotypes about scientists and their work and about the usefulness of scientific research, which ultimately discourages young people to pursue a career in R&D.
The main concept proposed for 2020 is to reduce the passive presentation of what means to be a researcher, by involving the people directly in different interactive activities (workshops, games, competition, debates etc.). The project is constructed around three basic ideas: Future through past; Health and wealth through a clean environment; Economic development of the county through technology and innovation.
An important objective is also the future utilization of information gathered during the event, in order to enable cooperation between relevant actors that are committed to support scientific collaboration that may generate new opportunities for research and industry and new knowledge and know-how that can be shared by confronting new ideas and viewpoints.
Regarding the audience, the Dissemination Strategy will be directed towards various user groups, such as: the general public, especially young people, the scientific community, public institutions, NGOs, policy-makers, various associations, businesses etc.
The partners have the complementary skills to assure the achievement of the project objectives and the future exploitation of the results.
