Накратко на български

Връзката между изследователите и обществото се проучва чрез директен диалог и включване на граждани в научни открития. Това помага за промяна на стереотипите за учените и по-добро разбиране на влиянието на науката върху ежедневието ни.

Our Science 2021

The main objective of the project is to enhance a positive public perception of researchers by facilitating an open and active dialogue between researchers and citizens of all ages, focusing on families with children and young people that could consider a career in research. The idea is to portray researchers as ordinary people with fascinating jobs and to combat the stereotype that many people may have of scientists as absent-minded nerds in white robes and glasses. This will be done by bringing researchers closer to the general public with a view to increasing awareness of research and innovation activities. The aim is also to allow people to experience first-hand what research and innovation activities are all about and create an understanding of the actual impact that these activities have on modern society and our lives. In addition to highlighting the importance of researchers’ work, the initiative provides a rare opportunity for researchers to communicate directly with the public at all ages, both in real events and online happenings, and even to involve citizens in the road to scientific discoveries, by inviting them to become citizen scientists, thus contributing to the transparency of the work that researchers do. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the objectives were fulfilled in a different way than before, as decisions regarding on-site events went back and forth according to public health recommendations and restrictions. This created a lot of extra work for the coordinator and the project team, that had to take many ad-hoc decisions concerning events planned, which required an immense amount of adaptability and flexibility in this unprecedented global situation.

Цел на проекта

The impact of researchers' work on society and citizens has never been more apparent than now. Unprecedented challenges such as climate changes and fast-spreading global pandemic, calls for science to react - and the role of researchers is crucial. At the same time, there is an impending risk of loosing citizens' trust in science, due to increased amount of misinformation about science and research. Therefore, it is important to promote the key role that researchers have for the development and growth of our societies in a national and international context, and for keeping the public informed about critical challenges and scientific discoveries that have an impact on our daily lives. In Iceland, science has a crucial role to play in a society that relies to a great extent on nature and responsible use of natural resources, from renewable energy and sustainable blue growth to societal and cultural implications of living at the edge of the Arctic. In order to ensure and facilitate interaction with the public and society at large, the project Our Science aims to organise European Researchers Night in Iceland, inviting researchers to engage with the public to communicate their work, their passion and their findings in order to increase the awareness of research and innovation activities. The objective is to enhance a positive public perception of researchers by facilitiating an open and active dialogue between researchers and citizens of all ages, especially focusing on children and young people that could consider a career in research. In addition to higlighting the importance of researchers work, the initiative provides a rare opportunity for researchers to communicate directly with the public at all ages and even to involve citizens in the road to scientific discoveries, thus contributing to the transparency of their work and enhancing the attractiveness of scientific careers, which is instrumental in encouraging young people to embark on a career in science.
