ScieNcE Together
The ERN edition 2020 was marked by the still ongoing covid-19 pandemic. This experience has redefined the the approach on scientific communication, which has necessarily been reconsidered and organized in new different ways.The original project involved direct meetings with the citizen, such as workshops, trekking or experiments, but, due to the Covid-19 emergency, some of our activities took place in the presence and others online, such as virtual tours or games for kids. The main objective of NET project is to build a consistent network to contaminate the territory with science. NET's strength is its high-level partnership. NET’s Network offers a long-lasting path through which researchers can share their passion for science getting closer to citizens by a correct scientific information on simple and complex questions. This would be one more step to achieve a major goal: to build and plan a research-based society, increasing the number of young people pursuing research careers. This will constitute a new way of dissemination path that increasingly meets the needs of knowing and awareness of people. NET researchers were the main actors in the activities with citizens, aiming at promoting the specific role of authoritative and rigorous information source, especially in response to disinformation and fake news

Project objective
The goal of the NET project is to lay the foundation of a NETwork connecting research world and society, building a stable and empatic communication path among institutions, researchers and citizens, also thanks to the capillary physical presence of the partners in the territory, since the NET consortium is made by well-recognised public italian research and academic institutions. This network will offer a stable exchange path through which researchers can share their passion for science, their work and life with citizens, who, in turn will use the path to get the scientific viewpoint from their “informed neighbors”. Conveying this idea is the first step to build and plan a research-based society, by increasing the number of students taking up research careers. The path will be paved by using conventional and unconventional, online and offline communications tools, to reach every citizen, regardless of age, gender, cultural or economic conditions, even if particular attention will be devotaed at students and pupils. NET will bring researchers closer to the general public and increase awareness of research and innovation activities, increasing the public recognition of researchers, creating an understanding of the impact of researchers' work on citizens ́ daily life, promoting choices for a sustainable future. In fact the main theme of the project is the most relevant and global question of this millennium: the climate change, in order to give citizens information to be aware protagonists of collective political choices and correct individual behavior. NET European Researchers’ Night and related activities will take place in 16 italian cities (from North to South: Brasimone, Chioggia, La Spezia, Ozzano, Civitavecchia, Fiumicino, Frascati, Grottaminarda, Monte Porzio Catone, Rieti, Rocca di Papa, Roma, Tarquinia, Viterbo, Palermo, Portici, Trisaia) and Vulcano and Stromboli Aeolian Islands, so as to wrap the whole of Italy in the NET.
