Researchers for Humanity 2022-2023

The main goal of “Researchers for Humanity 2022-2023” will be to bring researchers closer to the general public and to increase awareness of research and innovation activities, with a view to supporting the public recognition of researchers, creating an understanding of the impact of researchers' work on citizens´ daily life and encouraging young people to embark on research careers.

We will also focus on promoting the European dimension of the event and on increasing the public’s awareness, making European Researchers’ Night 2022 and 2023 editions the most interesting and awaited events in terms of science, research and education.

The two editions will be linked with continuous activities related to Researchers at schools and pre-events and the results of these activities will be presented to the public at the actual events.

During the events, the public will have the opportunity to better understand science projects and researchers’ ideas and motivation by taking part in interactive hands-on sessions, learning by doing, education through play, as well as being encouraged to have interesting talks with the researchers themselves.

Our widely spread national network of cities involved in organizing European Researchers’ Night will continue to be an important factor when it comes to increase awareness among the general public, promoting the goals of the event and creating a large community of researchers involved.

Based on the long-lasting relationships, the partnerships will be carried on with the main actors from mass-media and most of the important players in private research, universities and non-formal education institutions and, through Researchers at schools activities, the number and quality of these partnerships will significantly improve.
