Project objective

The overall objective of the proposal is to organize the first Researchers' Night in Turkey in order to provide the general public and in particular, young people with the opportunity to meet researchers within the context of festive and out-of-the-ordinary" activities.The ultimate aim is to enhance public recognition of researchers and their role in society as well as to encourage more young people to embark on careers in science and consequently to increase Europe's (and Turkey's) attractiveness as a p lace of work for researchers, while providing a wider public awareness about the EU support to science & research.Considering the very fact that few young people are attracted to careers in science, EUREN-TR aims to address the Turkey dimension of this European-wide public awareness campaign. The project objective will be achieved by activities designed to attract and entertain the participants of different age groups and backgrounds and to deliver them the main message that "researchers are normal people".The strategic objectives of EUREN-TR will be:- to organize the first European Researchers' Night in Turkey,- to address a large public with particular attention to young people (age group of 12-20),- to enhance public recognition and respect o f researchers and their roles in society, through extensive media coverage,- to create an awareness for the resources EC devotes to science and research and the improvement of working conditions for researchers,- to encourage the young people to embark on scientific careers by introducing possibilities in new careers,- to emphasize the importance of science for further development of technology and industry.The project will promote the activity and increase awareness of general objectives prior to the event, organize festive and "out-of-the-ordinary" activities during the event and monitor and disseminate the results during and after the event."
