SOCIETY riPENSAci

The EU-funded European Researchers' Night of SOCIETY riPENSAci offers a series of activities and events over the years 2022-2024, helping the population to understand how the collaboration connection between different disciplines, and different people are fundamental for solving global challenges. The project explores a variety of topics, such as development and sustainability, environment and people, knowledge and digitalisation, to engage different public-groups, mainly focusing on the young generations. Indeed, one of the project's goals is to inspire young students to embrace a research career by showing research as a powerful tool for deciphering reality. The partnership, located in Emilia Romagna, includes the local branches of the main National Italian Research Institutes (CNR, INGV, INAF, INFN), CINECA and the University of Bologna. SOCIETY riPENSAci means “Think again! Change your perspective and be ready to revisit your knowledge of reality”, and this is our invitation to our fellow citizens. By spending time, with the researchers, during the 2022-23 edition and in various ways proposed, visitors changed the lenses through which they see things and got a glimpse of the multitude of possible points of view. Thanks to a wide network of stakeholders, riPENSAci proposed a variety of topics planned to engage different audiences, with a particular focus on kids. riPENSAci 2022-23 events took place in Bologna, Cesena, Forlì, Ravenna, Marina di Ravenna, Rimini and Ferrara; in 2022 also in Cesenatico and Predappio.

Project objective

Think again! Change your perspective and be ready to revisit your knowledge of reality. This is what riPENSAci means, and is our invitation to our fellow citizens. The European Researchers Night is the perfect escape route from customary mental paths and an occasion to explore uncharted thoughts. By spending one night with the researchers, visitors will change the lenses through which they see things and get a glimpse of the multitude of possible points of view. Re-think about what we know from a different perspective is a useful, necessary practice for the inhabitants of a world that is facing epochal changes and threats. RiPENSAci also means think us again, think about our place and actions within our society, our economies, our environment. The European Researchers Nights proposed by the SOCIETY consortium revolve once again around the responsibility of humankind on this complex planet, where everything is so inextricably connected. Research provides excellent tools to decipher these connections and foresee the long term implications of our choices. A deeper understanding of our impact is necessary to disrupt consolidated habits and allow the construction of a new reality. Taking advantage of a wide network of stakeholders, SOCIETY riPENSAci will propose a variety of topics planned to engage different publics, with a particular focus on kids and youngsters. Both editions will be held in Bologna, Cesena, Cesenatico, Forl, Predappio, Ravenna, Rimini and Ferrara. Activities will address the themes of development & sustainability, environment & people, knowledge & digitalisation.
