Накратко на български

Взаимодействието между учените и обществото се изследва чрез организиране на срещи и разговори на различни места в град Дублин. Това помага на хората да разберат как научната работа влияе на ежедневието им и мотивира младите да се занимават с наука.

Start Talking About Research Today: European Researchers' Night at Trinity College Dublin

For 2020, Trinity’s ERN was called START, or Start Talking About Research Today. It aimed to build on the knowledge gained from these previous events, and create a dynamic, energetic, and engaged model of interaction that put researchers and the public in conversation with each other. The fundamental goal of START was to align with the main objective of European Researchers’ Night which is to “bring researchers closer to the general public and increase awareness of research and innovation activities, with a view to supporting the public recognition of researchers, creating an understanding of the impact of researchers’ work on citizens’ daily life, and encouraging young people to embark on research careers.” Trinity’s proposed European Researchers’ Night event was to activate the university’s sites around Dublin city and highlight where research takes place in our local community. Working with British Council Ireland, START also aimed to enhance the communication skills and confidence of researchers across the island of Ireland to engage with diverse public audiences. The intention was to encourage people to start talking about research today by creating the opportunity for them to engage with researchers in places they might not have recognised as sites for research. Original plans would also have seen activities and events take place on the main city centre campus and a large attendance was anticipated. Throughout the summer of 2020, the situation in Ireland with regard to Covid-19 was relatively stable. While we still hoped to hold some face-to-face events as part of European Researchers’ Night we were also exploring alternative online activities that could be incorporated into the programme. On October 21st, the government of Ireland placed the country in a “Level 5” lockdown until the end of November, effectively ending the possibility of any in-person element for European Researchers’ Night in Ireland this year. The move to wholly online delivery for START in 2020 allowed the event to have a much wider audience than previous iterations that were solely focused on campus-based attendance. While not an ideal method of delivery given the restrictions and stresses of a global pandemic, the START team was able to engage with participants from all around the world and succeeded in bringing researchers and the public closer together.

Цел на проекта

European Researchers’ Night events have been held at Trinity College Dublin every year since 2013. Each year has seen a growth in the number of Trinity researchers taking part, and in the levels of engagement with the general public. Previous iterations of European Researchers’ Night at Trinity have been coordinated by an individual school, usually in collaboration with Science Gallery Dublin. In a radical departure, the Office of the Dean of Research in partnership with the British Council Ireland, will host START as part of European Researchers’ Night 2020.Based on the idea Start Talking About Research Today, Trinity will create an innovative city-wide event that will activate various sites around Dublin to highlight the fact that research takes place all over our city and takes many forms. START will provide an opportunity for the general public and researchers to engage with each other in new ways. Through a combination of activities, demonstrations, tours, talks and more, START will promote the idea that research is a living, fundamental part of our society that impacts on and involves everyone.START will work to achieve a number of specific goals: 1. Create new dialogues between researchers and the general public that will lead to a deeper, more profound and sustained engagement with each other; 2. Raise awareness of research and research careers as positive forces in our society; 3. Highlight the role of the European Union in supporting research and discovery.Public engagement and communications workshops will be offered to all MSCA-funded researchers, as well as other participants in the events on the Night. A series of activities and showcases will be conducted to raise awareness in the months preceding European Researchers’ Night. Trinity has a wealth of talent and experience in public engagement activities including previous ERN events, and the project team will draw on this expertise to ensure that START is grounded in best practice.
