Descrizione del progetto
Aumentare la consapevolezza nei confronti della scienza in un mondo in continua evoluzione
I ricercatori spesso fanno fatica a divulgare e a rendere i risultati dei loro studi più noti al grande pubblico. Il progetto SCI-TREK, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di sensibilizzare sulla ricerca e l’innovazione, che hanno il potenziale per plasmare le società di domani e avere un impatto sulla vita dei cittadini nel contesto delle transizioni sociali, ambientali e tecnologiche globali in corso. Le azioni proposte si rivolgeranno a bambini, adolescenti, studenti e adulti di tutte le età, tenendo conto delle esigenze e delle aspettative di ciascun gruppo e traendo utile ispirazione dai principi della comunicazione tradizionale e dai festival di cultura popolare.
Obiettivo
"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."
