SHARPER | SHAring Researchers’ Passion for Enhanced Roadmaps - The European Researchers’ Night in Italy 2022-2023

Original description

SHARPER brings together young generations, citizens, and researchers to develop roadmaps to a better and desirable future. Researchers are passionate about future, and they constantly design, adapt and implement roadmaps to contribute to build it. This process increasingly involves young generations and citizens at large and make researchers and citizens “travel mates”. Curiosity driven choices and social needs together mould researchers’ agendas and generate roadmaps that need to be constantly enhanced to effectively tackle new challenges. Researchers are increasingly at the heart of this process and the acronym SHARPER – SHAring Researchers’ Passion for Enhanced Roadmaps describes their attitude to constantly evolve action plans to be key players within the society. SHARPER 2022 and 2023 will let citizens and researchers share this endeavour through engaging activities focused on the 5 missions of the Horizon Europe work programme. SHARPER involves 14 cities in 8 regions across Italy: Ancona, Camerino, Cagliari, Catania, Genoa, Macerata, L'Aquila, Nuoro, Palermo, Pavia, Perugia, Sassari, Terni and Trieste through a diverse network of 9 consortium partners including Universities, Research Institutions, Museums, Social Enterprises and more than 200 stakeholders from the civil society, the cultural creative world, industry, research and education. A special collaboration is developed with the Education National System through association of teachers and regional educational offices. The project will consolidate and innovate the experience developed over the last 9 years triggering researchers’ and citizens’ engagement across Italy. SHARPER has a solid European dimension through a collaboration with 7 ERNs in 7 countries to develop creative online contents and formats, common strategies on impact assessment and researchers’ trainings. SHARPER also collaborates with other Nights in Italy to share ideas, communication and awareness actions.
