Descripción del proyecto
Concienciar sobre la ciencia en un mundo en constante evolución
A los investigadores no suele serles fácil dar a conocer su labor ni los resultados de su trabajo al público en general. El proyecto SCI-TREK, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene como objetivo concienciar sobre la investigación y la innovación, que tiene potencial para conformar las sociedades del futuro e influir en la vida de los ciudadanos en el marco de las transiciones sociales, medioambientales y tecnológicas en curso. Las acciones propuestas estarán dirigidas a niños, adolescentes, estudiantes y adultos de todas las edades, tendrán en cuenta las necesidades y expectativas de cada colectivo y se inspirarán en los principios de la comunicación tradicional y los festivales de cultura popular.
Objetivo
"The SCI-TREK project aims to raise awareness about research and innovation that have the potential to shape tomorrow’s societies and impact citizen’s lives in the context of ongoing global societal, environmental and technological transitions (eg. adaptation to climate change, artificial intelligence, sustainable food systems, etc.). In order to bring researchers closer to the general public, all activities will be geared towards establishing a clear link between the research being promoted and the benefits it brings to society in this regard.
As the acronym inspired by popular culture implies, the project will place participants at the heart of scientific journeys that might ultimately affect the way they think and live. The proposed actions will address children, teenagers, students and adults of all ages, taking into account the needs and expectations of each group.In order to successfully engage with its target audiences and bring them on a path of discovery alongside both Belgian and European researchers, SCI-TREK takes inspiration from traditional communication principles and popular culture festivals. For maximum impact and engagement, activities have therefore been designed with the following guiding principles in mind: ""Make it personal and human"", ""Make it exciting and fun!"", ""Make it clear"", ""Make it European"", and ""Make it sustainable"". Following these principles will help reach the following objectives: 1) Raise awareness about present and future societal, environmental and technological transitions, providing participants with evidence-based keys to understanding them; 2) Stimulate curiosity towards scientific subjects and generate interest in research careers among the young people; 3) Promote the scientific method to understanding and solving complex issues, in a context of mass information and weakening of expert opinion; 4) Foster dialog between researchers and citizens and reduce the stereotypes; 5) Promote European research and innovation."
