Summary
Science Hotel is a one-week hybrid (online and onsite) festival, where the general public in Rotterdam and its region meets with scientists and is introduced in their research and its relevance for daily life. 'Humanimal', this year's theme of Science Hotel, features scientific aspects of the relation between human society and nature. Presently, this relation is relevant in dealing with the Corona/Covid-19 crisis, since the emergence of the pandemic has its origins in the animal world and public and social strategies for coping with the crisis touch upon psychosocial mechanisms originating in the evolution. Understanding the scientific aspects of this relation will help society and individuals to develop strategies for resilience. Researchers participating in Science Hotel will reflect on these aspects. The program of Science Hotel will address climate and environmental challenges with presentations of research in sustainability and transition within the context of the European Green Deal.
Science Hotel facilitates personal and interactive encounters between the audience and researchers. It invites the audience to step into the daily life of researchers and discuss research topics and their perception by societal stakeholders. This dialogue is stimulated, enriched and sometimes distorted, by artists' interventions. The program kicks off during the week before European Researchers’ Night with online and offline pre-events for school classes, teachers and families. During the NIGHT itself, audiences are welcome in Science Hotel, a festival of science, art and entertainment. Science Hotel is directed to a general public with a broad interest in science, technology, innovation, art within a societal context. It especially targets a young adventurous public in the age of 19 to 39 years old; teachers, school pupils and students; families with children in the age of 15 to 21 years old; stakeholder groups of invited researchers and researchers themselves.
