Research, Connections, Networks and Culture - Use of Projects, Games, Research And Digital in Education

The EU-funded ReConNeCt Restart 3 project was a showcase the remarkable researchers heading projects funded by the EU’s H2020. Its goal was to enhance public recognition of the researchers who are paving the way for the next Horizon Europe funding program. Overall, the project will promote research careers among students. It will also focus on the links between science, industry, and citizens. This triangular relationship is reflected in the EU RIS3 Smart Specialisation Strategies that bring in a demand-driven dimension, fostering innovation partnerships that boost coordination between different societal stakeholders. In a well-organized and logically connected sequence, the project ReConNeCt Restart 3 focused on digital science - interesting and impactful examples of the application of digital technologies in research and education. Main objectives of ReConNeCt Restart 3 project To promote research careers, in particular towards young people and their families; • To demystify and abandon the usual, stereotypical perception of the researchers; • To increase the recognition of researchers in Serbia by engaging them in open and public interaction with the audience; • To promote research carried out in Serbia as up-to-date and relevant for the society in general; • To promote researchers as role models and explain their drive to choose career in research; • To raise public awareness and understanding of the scientific priorities and challenges tackled by the state-of-the-art research in hot topics like Climate Change, ICT, Creative Industries, Health, Food Security, Environmental protection, etc; • To demonstrate the best practice of fruitful collaboration in the said fields among science, industry, and citizens’ entrepreneurial initiative; • To highlight the importance of the EU’s manifold support to researchers and scientific research work in Serbia; • To improve networking with other national/international projects involved in science popularization, through mutual support of events and exchange of ideas, experiences, and people. Keywords describing the objectives of the EU RN project are: up-to-date, innovative, green, sustainable, engaging, entrepreneurial, ground-breaking, excellent, collaborative, impactful, enabling, outreach, stakeholders’ engagement.
