Results in brief
ZnAnosT za vsE (Research for all)
Project acronym ZATE, in English translation, means “For you” which reminds us that all the science efforts are dedicated to the welfare and well-being of each of us, which makes researchers heroes of society. Main idea is to build the bridge to future generations of researchers with the key message “everyone can become a researcher” (hero) and to raise the public awareness, of science importance for society’s existence, wellbeing and welfare and the importance/recognition of researchers’ role in it by giving them twofold insight: - through spreading information using audio/video material, written messages during intensive awareness campaigns (AC) and - through their personal experience, by giving them the opportunity through main event and pre-events (part of AC) for socializing with scientists in a relaxed atmosphere, where visitors themselves can ask various questions about the research and innovation project results, which can give them a better understanding of research and innovation work and research profession. We believe that a combination of a twofold approach is the best way to challenge and gradually leave stereotypes related to researchers and scientists in the past. Main objectives are: - To bring researchers closer to the general public. - To increase awareness of research and innovation activities. - To support the public recognition of researchers. - To create an understanding of the impact of researchers' work on citizen's daily life. - To encourage young people to embark on research careers.

Project objective
The key ZATE message is that everyone can become a researcher? and main project aims are to bring researchers to the general public, to inspire youngster to embark on science careers and increase awareness of: researchers' profession, the possibility of various careers in academic and non-academic institutions, understanding EU, the path to embark and develop research careers, researchers' important role in society and highly important impact of their work on our daily life. Inclusiveness is the key, not only when we speak about society, researchers (in all aspects) but also the young with less opportunity to get in touch with science (bus transport to ERN event). The intensive (off/online) awareness campaign (AC) will include national cooperation of selected ERN consortiums, various pre-events, national reward competition, Train the trainers and multipliers program. On traditional ERN main event renewed programs in a festive and fun atmosphere. Pre-events and events activities aim at offering the public at large an opportunity to get engaged in science through fascinating experiments, demonstrations, observations, to socialize and have fun with researchers in a relaxed atmosphere. They include various interactive activities of a wide range of science fields. ZATE activities will be implemented in Maribor, Krško, Koper, Izola and Nova Gorica. Trained researchers will interactively present research and innovation results. EU dimension will be visible, presented also by representatives of NCPs (MSCA, ERC), Europe Direct, SBRA Brussels. Traditional cooperation of the primary and secondary schools' winning teams of research and innovative projects in the frame of Youth for Maribor Progress (financed by Maribor municipality) is included again, as a way through which young easier inspire their fellows and connect with the real scientists. Last but not least, the improved impact assessment, which results are important contribution also to the evolution of the next ERN project activities.
