Results in brief
Researchers for Humanity 2020
European Researchers Night R4H 2020 continued the series of events already organized in Romania from 2007. The event built a strong link between public and research through this important message of relevance: what science and researchers do are useful for daily life, and their life is as everyone’s else. Important players from science and education joined forces in creating the most important national wide project. The public was invited to come, play, talk and learn about researchers and to understand how science can be used in the benefit of humanity. Based on the outstanding awareness of the European dimension of the event that was created throughout the years, European Researchers Night 2020 confirmed as being one of the most important communication events for research and education institutions. The national ERN network grew with the support of the European dimension of the event and the awareness created among researchers and the public altogether. The researchers, teachers and students got involved, promoted in their area the work that they performed and had national exposure at the event. Over 76.251 visitors took part in the activities offered in 2020, over 318 researchers got involved in the activities offered and over 1.310.000 people were made aware of the European Researchers' Night and its objectives. Partnerships were continued at national and local level. The event itself was organized in 21 cities from Romania. The project has reached its objectives and proved to be successful.

Project objective
Continuing the series of events from 2007 organized in Romania, “Researchers for Humanity 2020” will build a strong link between public and research by stating the main message that science and researchers are useful for daily life and humanity over all, and their life is as everyone else’s. For one day (or 2 days in some places), the public will have the chance to meet important players from science and education through play, interesting talks and interactive hands-on learning. Based on the outstanding awareness of the European dimension of the event that we created throughout the years, European Researchers Night 2020 will confirm as being one of the most important communication event for research and education institutions. After last 2 years of enlarging the network (21 big, medium and small cities from all over Romania), this time we will focus on strengthening and increasing the quality of the interactions by gathering over 400 researchers, students and teachers in order to reach 45 000 visitors and over 650 000 persons exposed to the awareness campaign. The traditional logo of the event will be maintained so that a coherent link will be created with the European and national dimension of the event. Also, through the platform, we will invite associated events to get enrolled and be supported by us through promotion at the national level. Due to the long lasting relationships, the partnerships will be continued with main actors from mass-media, private research, universities and non-formal education institutions.
