Цел на проекта

Aurora Nexus – Connecting People, Science & Art is a New European Bauhaus–inspired initiative that bridges science, technology, art, and culture to make research a shared and emotionally engaging experience. By integrating creativity with discovery, the project connects European collaboration to personal exploration, inviting everyone to co-create a sustainable and inclusive future.Through two European Researchers’ Nights (2026 & 2027) and a year-round “Researchers at Schools” programme, Aurora Nexus will demonstrate the connectivity between science and the creative industries across four engagement levels – Science for EU, for Latvia, for the University, for my family. The project aims to reach over 10,000 visitors, 8,000 pupils strengthening public understanding and trust in research, increasing interest in STEAM fields, and improving researchers’ communication and engagement skills.Key objectives include integrating arts-based learning in schools, fostering inclusive outreach across regions, showcasing EU-funded research through science-and-art exhibitions, and deepening dialogue between researchers and citizens via co-creation, performances, and sustainable public events. Supported by the University of Latvia’s comprehensive engagement ecosystem – including its Botanical Garden, Museum, Culture Centre, Observatory, and regional branches – and coordinated by the Innovation & Acceleration Centre with the Communication Department and European partners (FORTHEM, EUA), the project builds on proven institutional capacity in science communication and community engagement.Aurora Nexus fully aligns with the MSCA European Researchers’ Night and Researchers at Schools objectives by enhancing researchers’ interaction with citizens, expanding access to science across Latvia and Europe, and embedding the NEB values of sustainability, inclusion, and beauty into science outreach.
