Results in brief
Research, Connections, Networks and Culture - Use of Projects, Games, Research And Digital in Education
The EU-funded ReConNeCt Upgrade 20 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 Upgrade 20 focused on digital science - interesting and impactful examples of the application of digital technologies in research and education. Main objectives of the project ReConNeCt Upgrade 20 were: o To tackle and demystify the persistent and repeated stereotypes about researchers; o To bring out the actual researchers in Serbia, engage them publically and increase their recognition in Serbia and globally; o To promote research carried out in Serbia and researchers as role models; o To unveil the motives behind becoming a researcher and entice the young people to embark on scientific careers; o To show the importance of scientific research and raise public awareness of researchers'' contribution to progress and development; o to raise public awareness about the researchers' impact in ever important fields such as climate change and global warming, as well as in the subtle realm such as cultural heritage (in line with celebrating 2018 as the European Year of Cultural Heritage); o To highlight the importance of the European manifold support to researchers and scientific research in Serbia; o To improve networking with other national/international projects involved in science popularisation, through mutual support of events and exchange of ideas , experiences and people.

Project objective
Knowing that the EU H2020 funds only the best research and innovation projects which generate knowledge for the benefit of society, the Reconnect Upgrade 20.20 project has the ultimate goal to identify, and enhance the public recognition of those remarkable researchers, who are charged with leading the societal progress towards Horizon Europe, and stimulate promotion of research careers among the young pupils and students who will take over in the coming EU framework programmes. Reconnect Upgrade 20.20 project reflects Europe in a changing world which is asked to generate science that is smart, transformational, anticipating, co-creational, and more responsive to stakeholders’ engagement. Researchers need to rise to the societal challenges framed in Sustainable Development Goals and referred to in Towards A Sustainable Europe By 2030, while the general public needs recognize their added value in translating the EU funding for science and education into sustainable solutions that impact the daily life. Since the new EU framework programme for research and innovation is just around the corner, Reconnect Upgrade 20.20 project focuses on this transitional phase and sheds a light on the triangle among the science, industry and citizens, which is well reflected in the EU RIS3 Smart Specialisation Strategies that should bring in a demand-driven dimension, foster innovation partnerships emphasizing greater co-ordination between different societal stakeholders, and align resources and strategies between private and public actors.
