Results in brief
INTERSECTIONS
INTERSECTIONS showcased the international, intersectional, interdisciplinary, & interrelated nature of research across Europe in a series of audience-focused & interactive online & in-person events for European Researcher’s Night 2021. The overriding aim was to: ‘Celebrate the diversity of research & researchers across Europe, & unambiguously illustrate the relevance & application of research to daily life.’ Our key objectives for our NIGHT were: Showcase a truly Europe-wide diversity & intersectionality of research & researchers Inspire young people with the accessibility, relevance, & diversity of research careers Support dialogue between researchers & citizens Deliver a selection of inclusive & audience-focused events Engage audiences from across Europe online & in-person Demonstrate the relevance of research to daily life Demonstrate the importance of European funding in research Create connections between researchers & citizen groups that can continue beyond this delivery Create connections between researchers across Europe Demonstrate that Europe-wide engagement activity can be meaningful & impactful Further understand any barriers to Europe-wide engagement activity, & how these can be addressed Create a legacy & a pilot for the research engagement field in terms of delivering an international, interdisciplinary, & intersectional event such as this.

Project objective
This edition of European Researcher's Night, run independently of all other NIGHTs, will provide a platform from which researchers and publics across Europe can participate to create a truly pan-national series of events showcasing the international and intersectional nature of research as well as the relevance of, and contribution to research that the public can make. INTERSECTIONS is developed from past success in international delivery of a group of seven NIGHTs across Europe. This experience has shown international delivery can be meaningful and rewarding, and demonstrated the barriers and drivers to a successful international and intersectional delivery. We propose now to expand on this and provide dedicated support for a pan-European delivery. In 2021 INTERSECTIONS will run a modest group of activities that we are confident are able to run on an international basis with significant impact and meaningful outcomes for all stakeholders from researchers to audiences. This truly pan-European research showcase event, connecting researchers, audiences, and NIGHTs, will showcase research and its relevance to all European citizens.
