Techno-Past Techno-Future: European Researchers' Night

Project description

Science and cultural heritage in Croatia

The EU-funded TPTF_ERN project will deepen the public’s understanding of what science and innovation mean today. Coordinated by Croatia’s Ministry of Science and Education, the project will organise Researchers’ Nights in 2018 and 2019 in Zagreb, Rijeka, Split, Zadar and Dubrovnik, while Pula and Osijek will host Researchers’ Night in 2018 and 2019, respectively, focusing on the cultural heritage. The project will promote science and connect scientists with society to stimulate public interest in national and European policies in the field of research and to raise awareness about the role of science and the importance of investing in science. TPTF_ERN will pay particular attention to the young generation to foster interest in scientific careers.

Objective

Science, research and innovation should be and through history they have been a drive of social and economic progress. Today more than ever our society is driven by scientific discoveries, innovation, and technology development. We cannot imagine our lives without privileges of modern society which were enabled by some of greatest researchers and innovators of 19th and 20th century. At the verge of fourth industrial revolution we should not forget our heritage and debt we have towards innovators such as Nikola Tesla – one of the fathers of second industrial revolution or researchers such as Marie Marie Skłodowska-Curie. Goal of this project Techno-Past-Techno-Future: European Researchers’ Night (TPTF-ERN) is complementary to the common main objective of European Researchers’ Night as it aims at deepening the understanding on what science and innovation represent. Researchers should be viewed as artists in their own way as their work is a way of expressing their creativity and originality. Their work changes the way we look at the world.
