Накратко на български

Връзката между науката и ежедневието се представя чрез теми като лабораторното месо, имунната система и рециклирането на пластмаса. Подобни активности помагат за популяризиране на кариерите в точните науки и сближават обществото с научноизследователската работа.

Where life science meets our daily life

“Life is Science” took place on 24th September 2021 in the frame of the European Researchers Night (MSCA-NIGHT). The objective of the project was to offer a broad spectrum of activities that are entertaining and educating to young adults and the general public. The event was planned as an open hybrid event in Graz, where visitors experience what is happening behind the scenes of a research laboratory. The COVID-19 pandemic still had an impact on the event organization in terms of limited visitor numbers on site and for this reason a 12 hour Livestream (online program) was provided like in 2020. With “Life is Science” we wanted to show where science meets our daily life. We offered activities in 3 main topics: health, food technology and renewable resources. The program included online games, lectures with discussions, school workshops in the lab, (virtual) lab tours and an entertaining evening program - "Science and Cinema". Despite the necessity of physical distance, the project "Life is Science" was eager to offer possibilities to engage and to interact: a couple of video tutorials for experiments at home have been produced, and live-sessions encouraged participants to fill surveys (menti.com), to discuss and to ask questions. Topics like "Meat from the Lab", "Immunesystem vs. Infection", "FAkes & Facts about COVID 19 vaccines", "Plasticrecycling", "Career Workshop" etc. have been part of the live-program. About 400 participants attended event. All recorded sessions and videos are still available, and they are well accepted. Events like this are important to raise the awareness about career paths in MINT disciplines on the one hand and to create a better connection between research and society on the other. Especially, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown the relevance of research and public gained insights more intensively than ever. According to the event evaluation forms, "Life is Science 2" offered an interesting and informative event for the interested general public.

Цел на проекта

acib is planning a second edition of an open event for the young general public in the frame of the European Researchers' Night in Austria. The first edition was held as a virtual event in 2020. In a next step the event is planned onsite in order to intensify the experiences in identifying connections between research and our daily life.Under the roof LifeisScience the visitors gain insights into the every-day work of researchers in the manifold fields of biotechnology and related disciplines as well as its impact to our daily life. LifeisScience offers to discover scientific contents along three dedicated story lines by visiting laboratories, contributing in experiments, interrogating scientists about puzzling questions, exchanging ideas in debates, participating in open innovation science, watching demonstrations and learning more on recent scientific discoveries. The story lines are food technology, waste management & renewable resources and health. The different activities intend to allow visitors to identify connections between research and our daily life. The principle of collecting stamps for each activity and receiving a gift for absolved story lines aims to drive visitors' motivation and, thereby, some may discover their passion for science and their preference for a research career.
