Project description
Tunisia’s innovative initiative to unite science for societal well-being
In Tunisia, scientific collaboration actively promotes societal well-being. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, TWISE Night aims to bridge research and public awareness. Spearheaded by ARSII and REACT associations, alongside four universities, this initiative champions inclusivity and environmental sustainability. Scheduled first in Sousse, then Tunis, it extends beyond events, with pre-events and Researchers at Schools sessions amplifying its impact across regions. TWISE Night demonstrates the synergy between science and society, promoting awareness of initiatives that enhance societal well-being and inclusivity, while contributing to environmental sustainability.
Objective
"Following the GREEN NIGHT project in 2020 and LiLa JemILA, which gained associate event status in the 2018 European Researchers' Night, TWISE Night is Tunisia's third initiative. The idea for TWISE (Tunisian Well-Being through Inclusive SciencE) Night was put forth by an assortment of scientific researchers and scientific communication specialists from the research and innovation community, as well as key players in R&I and organizations.

The idea for TWISE (Tunisian Well-Being through Inclusive SciencE) Night was put forth by an assortment of scientific researchers and scientific communication specialists from the research and innovation community, as well as key players in R&I and organizations. The primary objective of the project is to promote public awareness of research and innovation initiatives that contribute not only to environmental sustainability but also to the enhancement of societal well-being and the fostering of inclusivity. The ARSII association, a key participant in the initial two ERN editions with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, collaborates closely with the REACT association and four prominent Tunisian universities—namely, the University of Sfax, the University of Carthage, the University of Sousse, and the University of Monastir. They share a profound understanding that researchers play an essential role in the community, and their work is not only engaging and stimulating but also rewarding and worth pursuing. In order to accomplish these goals, TWISE Night 2024 will take place in Sousse, which is known as the ""pearl of the Tunisian Sahel followed by TWISE Night 2025 in Tunis. Pre-events and ""Researchers at Schools'' will also be hosted in Sousse, Monastir, and Mahdia, as well as in Sfax and Tunis.
