Summary
"SUSTAINIGHT aims at enhancing engagement with citizens on Research and Innovation by bringing researchers closer to public at large therefore leading to boosting recognition of science and research education. Researchers Night project covering two editions of Night 2024-2025 will continue the earlier themes, although focusing on topics related to sustainable development. The motto of the project is: ""Scientists from different fields work together for the sustainable development of our planet"". Researchers and public at large will tackle important issues related to the European Green Deal and the EU Missions. By bringing the world of scientists closer to people we will gain more interest, understanding and appreciation for their work. On the contrary, revealing research achievements will lead to arouse interest in science among young people and encourage them to take up scientific work. All these will be achieved by organisation of two editions of Researchers Night and Researchers at Schools initiative together with pre and post-events creating all –year long promotion of research careers. SUSTAINIGHT is a continuation of the projects of the last 17 years, but presents novelties. The diversity of projects partners ensures covering wide range of research issues yet complementing each other showing how different fields affect the sustainability of our planet. We will show Zero Waste Chemistry, Ecological vehicles, Quantum computer, Will global warming harm us?, Visit the Meteorological station, Eco-friendly consumers and others. All these presented in an entertaining way (edutainment), tailored to wide audience. This project aims to strengthen existing ones and shed light on new aspects of science, taking into account gender balance, inclusiveness in science with a focus on Responsible Research and Innovation. We want the Researchers' Night to be a great celebration of science as before!"
