Results in brief
Open Researchers 2022-23
‘Excellence Science for boosting a greener, smarter and healthier future in Europe with and for citizenship’ is the main idea of ‘Open Researchers 2022-23’. The project is designed to increase the awareness and perception of research as a solution to the numerous challenges faced by citizens in Europe and all around the world, as well as showing Science as the way to achieve the goals of the Horizon Europe Missions. ‘Open Researchers 2022-23’ has been conceived at a time when the EU has just launched Horizon Europe in order to join efforts to face the greatest challenges. The spotlight is focused on working under a multidisciplinary point of view. Understanding that science is present in our daily lives through many involved disciplines such as the environmental and human development ambitions included in the Horizon Europe Missions and the European Green Deal for 2050. The project's major strength is the numerous activities taking place on public streets and squares, theatres, and historical buildings of the eight Andalusian cities, with a high mobilization of researchers and organizers. The consortium incorporates the experience acquired and lessons learnt in the previous years. To reinforce this, partners complement the numerous outdoors activities with a strong online programme, with a wide schedule throughout Friday and Saturday that make sure the desired impact. The experience accumulated by the project makes the Night a sustainable event so that the consortium transfers the experience to other events throughout the year, in which different audiences (associations, schools, rural areas…) participate in different venues and activities. The European dimension of the event is specially underlined directly by the active involvement throughout the project of researchers that are beneficiaries of European projects, and Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellows, the activities organized in Researchers at School and the pre and post events organized.

Project objective
Open Researchers 2022-23 is the 11th Andalusian experience in the European Researchers' Night. The project is designed to increase the awareness and perception of research as a solution to the numerous challenges faced by citizens all around the world, as well as showing Science as the way to achieve the goals of the Horizon Europe Missions. Excellence Science for boost a greener, smarter and healthier future in Europe with and for citizenship is the main idea of the project. It has been conceived at a time when the UE has just launched Horizon Europe in order to join efforts to face the greatest societal challenges that Europe is facing. Understanding that science is present in our daily lives, it should be accompanied by a scientific culture that will prepare citizens to a reality full of challenges. It is essential to promote youth interest in Science by opening it to the general public through researchers in an accessible way. Fundacion Descubre will coordinate this project, based on its experience through the last decade working with relevant projects and in its consortium experience in the previous NIGHT projects. The consortium is composed of 9 Andalusian universities, the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), Andalusian Foundation Progress and Health, and the Royal Botanical Garden of Cordoba. The project's major strength is the numerous activities taking place on streets, theatres, and historical buildings of the 8 Andalusian cities, with a high mobilization of researchers and collaborating institutions. To reinforce this, partners will consolidate a strong programme of activities at schools. The European dimension will be underlined by the active involvement of researchers funded by EU and MSCA fellows in the event. Gender balance will be guaranteed in researchers as well as the RRI for designing inclusive and sustainable R&I. The project includes a European collaboration to design a set of shared activities linked to Horizon Europe Missions.
