Project description
Promoting research as a profession in Slovenia
One way to cultivate children’s interest in science and to encourage young people to pursue science education is to promote the work of researchers. Highlighting the valuable impact of researchers’ work in everyday life can help to engage and connect with young people. This is what the European Researchers’ Nights are all about. With this in mind, the EU-funded ZATE project will bring researchers and their achievements to the general public, increasing awareness about research as a profession and inspiring youth to pursue scientific careers. The project will perform an intensive awareness campaign in five cities across Slovenia in cooperation with selected ERN consortiums through various pre-events and event activities and engagement of citizens.
Objective
The key ZATE message is that everyone can become a researcher? and main project aims are to bring researchers to the general public, to inspire youngster to embark on science careers and increase awareness of: researchers' profession, the possibility of various careers in academic and non-academic institutions, understanding EU, the path to embark and develop research careers, researchers' important role in society and highly important impact of their work on our daily life. Inclusiveness is the key, not only when we speak about society, researchers (in all aspects) but also the young with less opportunity to get in touch with science (bus transport to ERN event). The intensive (off/online) awareness campaign (AC) will include national cooperation of selected ERN consortiums, various pre-events, national reward competition, Train the trainers and multipliers program. On traditional ERN main event renewed programs in a festive and fun atmosphere. Pre-events and events activities aim at offering the public at large an opportunity to get engaged in science through fascinating experiments, demonstrations, observations, to socialize and have fun with researchers in a relaxed atmosphere. They include various interactive activities of a wide range of science fields. ZATE activities will be implemented in Maribor, Krško, Koper, Izola and Nova Gorica. Trained researchers will interactively present research and innovation results. EU dimension will be visible, presented also by representatives of NCPs (MSCA, ERC), Europe Direct, SBRA Brussels. Traditional cooperation of the primary and secondary schools' winning teams of research and innovative projects in the frame of Youth for Maribor Progress (financed by Maribor municipality) is included again, as a way through which young easier inspire their fellows and connect with the real scientists. Last but not least, the improved impact assessment, which results are important contribution also to the evolution of the next ERN project activities.
