ERNI2020 | European Researchers' Night Israel 2020

Original description

With successive 14 years of successful NIGHTs, support (in time, efforts and funds) from the Israel Ministry of Science and Technology, more than 55,000 visitors a year, one Guinness World Record, 14 venues countrywide from Kiryat-Shmona in the very north to Eilat in the very south and a national TV, national radio and major newspapers coverage, our strong consortium, which consists of 13 major institutions in the Israeli academic community, is committed to European Researchers' Night success. All of the partners which will take part and operate 2020 European Researchers' Night event already have the experience and took part in previous European Researchers' Night events. Our consortium consists of the major research universities in Israel (including the Hebrew University and the Weizmann institute), leading research institutions, education collages and major science museums (including the National Museum of Science which will also coordinate the project for the 10th times in a row). Each partner in the project will invest its own funds (as always in ERNI since 2005) which also helps ensure partners' commitment for project success. Partners will also run activities with researchers outside of campuses. Researchers will visit local cafés, pubs and community centers to meet the public close to their homes. We find it very important to reach those who are not usually visiting university campuses and museums to increase the number of people having the opportunity to enjoy face-to-face meetings with researchers. This type of action had proved itself as very successful for tightening yearlong cooperation between researchers and the community which is a direct accumulative result of the European Researchers' Night project we are very proud of. The Israeli Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) will fully fund our national awareness campaign as part of its commitment to the project. MOST involvement will ensure a massive national coverage for the awareness part
