Fascinating World of Researchers in the Age of Technology: Researchers to Schools - Students to the Labs

Our project aims to foster closer ties between researchers and the general public, prioritising the engagement of youth, particularly girls, towards science careers.

Adopting a mission-oriented impact focused approach, with our efforts we address global challenges and are committed to ground breaking solutions.

We'll illuminate both the professional and personal aspects of researchers in an interactive style, enhancing public awareness, especially among students, regarding the nuances of research and innovation.

A special focus will be given to co-creation, the role of R&I in the society and the economy, the societal pertinence of EU's research policies and the improvement of science communication.

Key events like ""Researchers to Schools"" and ""Students to the Labs"" will recur over two years, feeding students' enthusiasm while enabling educators to infuse creativity into core subject teachings such as digital technology, eco-friendly practices, and health.

Our inclusive approach, drawing expertise from diverse disciplines and sectors, is formulated to maximise impact and familiarise the public with the realm of research.

Our main target group is students of age 6-26, but we aim to address all age groups with attractive programmes and demonstrate that both scholars and innovators can be discovered amongst us, and being a researcher is indeed cool and creative! Our venues cover the whole country.

As the result of the awareness raising campaign several organisations will join the Researchers’ Night, thus contributing to the multiplication of the visitors.

Our goal, both ambitious and achievable, is to attract 30,000 attendees to our venues, but even much more participants are expected at further venues of partners who join us year by year. The NIGHT is set to resonate with millions, either through direct engagement or media exposure.

Crucially, each venue will spotlight the EU R&I commitment, with an emphasis on the contributions of EU projects, especially the MSCAs.
