Накратко на български

Научната дейност в Югозападна Англия се представя пред обществото чрез практически експерименти, лекции и радиопредавания. Това помага на младите хора да разберат как европейските изследвания влияят на ежедневието им и ги мотивира да изберат кариера в науката.

FUTURES 2021: Stories of Change

FUTURES2021 was part of European Researchers' Night. Activities were coordinated by the University of Bristol (UoB) and developed in collaboration with the University of Bath (UoBa), the University of Exeter (UoE) the University of Plymouth (UoP), and Bath Spa University (BSU). FUTURES2021 allowed the public to learn first-hand about cutting edge research taking place across South West England, how it is funded and its impact on society. We sought to showcase the range of high-quality research being conducted in the South West of England; to engage public audiences with EU research and its positive effects on their day-to-day lives; and to inspire young people to engage with science and consider scientific careers in future. The COVID-19 pandemic created continued uncertainty about the feasibility of large-scale, in-person activities, especially indoors. This resulted in a blended programme, with 26 in-person activities and 10 remote activities. This included events that were delivered online such as talks; written Q and As; social media events; a quiz; and a comedy show, and included activities that were off-line, such as radio shows; research fairs; hands-on experiments; guided walks; and a mural, as well as workshops with local people and schools. This combination of activities and methods of delivery helped to mitigate against digital inequalities and provided varied ways to engage with research. The evaluation shows that the activities were successful in achieving our aims, with events enjoyed by participants and researchers alike. Over 42,000 people interacted directly with a FUTURES2020 activity and awareness-raising activities reached nearly 1.8 million people.

Цел на проекта

FUTURES2021: Stories of change is an ambitious and dynamic programme of face-to-face and digital events designed to deliver the EU Commission's objectives. A consortium of five universities from across the South West UK have teamed up with world-class venues to deliver the largest celebration of contemporary research in the region, aiming to reach a minimum of 1.5 million people. We will reach out to citizens of the large cities of Bristol, Bath, Exeter and Plymouth, rural areas of Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall, and will also transcend geographical boundaries through innovative digital and radio engagement. Using the best of both worlds we will create a truly inclusive and memorable festival of discovery tailored to diverse audience needs. A programme of 28 engaging events will enable over 300 researchers and MSC Fellows to interact with audiences and discuss the impact of contemporary research on people?s daily lives. Underpinned by principles of inspiration, inclusivity, accessibility, fun, learning, and discovery the events will demystify research and innovation, showing their value for individuals and societies locally and globally. Vibrant EU Corners at flagship venues and online will celebrate the contribution of EU funding and researchers to the region and wider. With a strong emphasis on engaging school children and families we will increase awareness of research careers and break stereotypes about researchers. Activities are also tailored to engage disadvantaged groups and rural communities who may not normally have access to researchers. Sound management by experienced partners, who have a track record of successful multi-partner projects, with a carefully constructed budget, clarity of roles, significant in-kind contribution from all partners, and an independently conducted evaluation using a mixed methods approach, will ensure that the project is successful in reaching its objectives and good value for money.
