Results in brief
The Future of Earth is Possible Through Collaboration between Scientists from Different Fields
Researchers' Night 2023 was a continuation of previous activities and focused on showing how to stop climate change, environmental protection (especially water and soil), sustainable food production, sustainable transport, referring to the priorities set by the European Commission in the framework of the European Green Deal and the EU Mission Statement on which Horizon Europe is based. Therefore, during the Researchers' Night 2023 in Poznan we focused on how cooperation in different fields of research and innovation help to save and protect the environment, we helped the audience to understand this research and we taught how to live in a sustainable way, how to involved our surroundings. Scientists made citizens aware of their own role and responsibilities in local contexts (ECO-local) actions that can have impact on global changes. Environmental degradation is a global problem and the actions of one person alone will not stop the changes taking place, so we emphasized the role of science in stopping them. For this reason, the main motto of the NIGHT4FUTURE project is: "The future of the Earth is possible thanks to constant cooperation of scientists from different fields". The NIGHT4FUTURE project involves 8 permanent participants with a firm, stable scientific and research position in Poland, the diversity of which provides attractions in many areas of science. This provides the project with effective promotional activities and capture the audience interested in various topics thus supplying effective promotional activities.

Project objective
The NIGHT4FUTURE project aims at showing that the Earth's future is possible thanks to the constant collaboration of scientists from different fields. By implementing Researchers’ Night programme, we will show that although the climate situation of the Earth is very difficult, science gives hope for saving it. The slogan ""in science there is hope"" will be the main motto of the whole event. Its aim is to make young people see science as a source of strength, opportunity and hope for the future. During the event, we will show how every field of science (technical, humanities, natural, health science) can be a source of hope to save the planet. Topics will highlight the importance of the European Green Deal for Europe and its citizens. See how the super engineer of the future will be, listen to the green alarm for the Earth, trace trash in space, take part in workshops about climate change, explore the secrets of biodiversity.You will find out that scientists are ordinary people and their work is really fascinating. The NIGHT4FUTURE project is a continuation of projects from the last fifteen years, but it also presents many novelties. Module Researchers at schools, pre-events and post-events have been prepared enabling researchers and pupils to interact on societal challenges revealing the key role of research in addressing these challenges. Based on the experience of previous years we are able to modify the program and the way of organizing events in response to the changing situation in the world. Topics of individual Partners have been selected to be consistent with the overall message of the project. This year's project aims to strengthen the previous ones and shed light on new aspects of science. We want to teach young people that the work of scientists brings hope for the planet and it is a lesson worth learning from them. We want Researchers Night 2022 and 2023 to be a great celebration of science, promotion of research careers and family fun. ""
