Results in brief
European Researchers' Night 2020 in Malopolska (Malopolska Researchers' Night 2020)
"Main goal of the European Researchers' Night (ERN) in Małopolska is bringing researchers to the general public and increasing awareness of research and innovation activities, with a view to supporting the public recognition of researchers, creating an understanding of the impact of researchers’ work on citizen’s daily life, and encouraging young people to embark on scientific careers. Detailed objectives are the following: - presenting researchers as ordinary people who have an extraordinary job, but also have – like all of us - different passions and interests, - presenting the outstanding discoveries of researchers that affect our lives, including by means of workshops, demonstrations, experiments, competitions and games that combine learning, education and entertainment, in a popular scientific manner, - enabling participants of the event to look ""behind the scenes"" at the workplace of researchers where they work on a daily basis creating various solutions and experimenting, which is possible only once a year during the ERN (in 2020 in the online formula), - presenting the extremely interesting work of researchers in a comprehensible and accessible manner, and thus encouraging children and young people to choose a career in science as their way of life in the future."

Project objective
European Researchers’ Night (ERN) in Malopolska will be organised for the 14th time in our region. The event will be held in 8 cities of the Malopolska Region (Kraków, Tarnów, Nowy Sącz, Niepołomice, Oświęcim, Skawina, Chrzanów and Limanowa) to show the wide scientific heritage, with access not being a barrier to the participation of the residents of various parts of the region as well as the whole country. Events will be organized in approx. 50 locations in ca. 30 partner institutions (both those included in the project consortium and other partners involved in the organization of the ERN program in all cities). Researchers from participating institutions prepared approx. 1,500 different activities, including e.g. interactive workshops, demos and experiments, meetings with researchers etc. The preparation of such a diverse programme will involve approx. 1,500 people every year: scientists, R&D employees from companies and students, as well as 60 science clubs. ERN 2020 will be organized under the slogan ""How do researchers change our world?"" Particular emphasis will be placed on the role of scientists in the fight against various environmental threats, as well as against air pollution (including smog and climate changes) - they will share their discoveries with the ERN participants that aim to save our planet. An important distinction of the ERN among other events is that we focus on interactivity. During the RN, the researchers present their work combining learning with entertainment (edutainment), to make children and young people as passionate about science as possible. But the participants themselves will feel like real researchers performing unusual experiments under the watchful eye of their mentors. The project has European dimension – due to its broad and diversified awareness campaign, we estimate that 4 million people will be made aware of the project and its objectives. Duration of the project: 1.05.-31.12.2020""
