Descrizione del progetto
Promuovere la scienza e la ricerca in una piccola città rumena
Concepiti per avvicinare i ricercatori al pubblico, gli eventi annuali della Notte europea dei ricercatori in Romania si concentrano sulla dimostrazione dell’impatto della scienza sulla vita quotidiana. Il progetto Science4future, finanziato dall’UE, organizzerà gli eventi del 2020 nella piccola città di Bistrița, nel nord della Transilvania. Poiché eventi come questo sono piuttosto rari al di fuori delle grandi città, questa sarà un’opportunità unica per i residenti di Bistrița. Gli obiettivi del progetto sono combattere alcuni degli stereotipi radicati nel pubblico sugli scienziati e incoraggiare i giovani a intraprendere una carriera nell’ambito della ricerca. Il concetto principale proposto per il 2020 è ridurre la presentazione passiva di cosa significhi essere un ricercatore coinvolgendo direttamente le persone in diverse attività interattive, come giochi, laboratori e dibattiti.
Obiettivo
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.
