Накратко на български

Връзката между изследователите и обществото в Кипър се проучва чрез образователни дейности, съчетаващи наука и изкуство. Това помага за премахване на стереотипите за учените и насърчава повече млади хора да изберат кариера в науката.

CYprus Promotes RESearch and Science

o Bring together researchers (of all stages of their career and all disciplines) and the public (of all ages, genders and scientific backgrounds, but especially young people) and allow them to interact in person through a balanced mix of “edutainment” - educational and entertaining - activities, so as to remove stereotypes about researchers, making them approachable by proving that they are “ordinary people with fascinating jobs”, and in this way increase the number of people taking up research careers and in general create a “research culture”; o Raise the public’s awareness regarding the latest R&I achievements in Cyprus, that have positively affected many aspects of our everyday lives, including economic growth and quality of life, emphasising on those funded by the EU, in order to understand the benefit for the society, as well as the international dimension of research and increase the public’s recognition of the importance of the researchers’ work; o Highlight the variability of research, by showcasing (a) researchers coming from different environments (academia, SMEs, NGOs etc) and different thematic sectors with emphasis on the 3i dimensions of the researcher’s career path (international, intersectoral, interdisciplinary) and (b) how research can be combined with different areas like art, theatre, painting, sports,… o Give a clear message to policy makers that investment in research will help boost the economy and increase Europe’s competitiveness; o Promote gender balance in research by ensuring equal participation and adequate promotion. Based on the facts presented in the Deliverables, it is considered that the CYPRESS project has reached its objectives and proved to be successful.

Цел на проекта

The proposal “CYPRESS”, standing for “CYprus Promotes RESearch and Science”, aims at organising two Researchers’ Night events, one in 2016 in Nicosia, celebrating the 10 years of the events in Cyprus and one in 2017 in Limassol, focusing on Cultural Heritage Research, on the occasion of Pafos being the European Capital of Culture. CYPRESS’ Coordinator, the Research Promotion Foundation (RPF), as the National Agency for supporting Research and Innovation (R&I), has within its remit gained a long experience in organising activities for the promotion of R&I towards the public and especially the younger generation, with the Researchers’ Night events being an integral part of its philosophy since 2006, with or without EC support, but always with vivid support from the National Research System.RPF has secured the collaboration of all Universities in Cyprus, the major Research Institutes and Centres, R&I-intensive Enterprises (mainly SMEs), Public Authorities, End Users and the Civil Society and for the first time Industrialist and Employers’ Associations, covering the Quadruple Helix of Innovation in a complementary way. As a novelty, RPF will also utilise a bottom up approach to attract new partners and will establish links with international partners.Building on past experiences, CYPRESS will bring together researchers from all sectors and disciplines, along with the public, increasing appreciation of the researchers’ work, raising awareness on the importance of R&I for society and the economy and motivating children to take up a career in research. Through a balanced mix of educational and entertaining, interactive activities, aiming at people of all ages, genders and educational backgrounds, and with the contribution of volunteers from the partners and RPF, the events will celebrate R&I achievements, especially EU funded and will ultimately remove stereotypes about the researchers’ profession, creating a much needed R&I culture among the Cypriot population.
