If you want to spread an idea or sell your product, you have to decentralise, adapt to the local context and do the fieldwork. It seems that the EU has adopted this well-known practice in the field of science communication.
The European Researchers' Night under MSCA and Citizens aims to reach out to the general public and engage people regardless of their scientific background. The focus is on families, pupils, students and especially those who do not have easy access to STEAM fields (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths) or research activities and are therefore less inclined to participate. To this end, the event, which traditionally takes place on the last Friday in September, is complemented by extensive "Researchers in Schools" activities.
Another central event - ESOF - also appears to be changing. The current call "Science comes to town", under Horison Widera, seeks to bring together activities aimed at a broad population in Europe, operating at local, regional and European level and involving participants of different ages and from different social groups and stakeholders (students, researchers, citizens, policy makers, businesses and third sector organisations).
The programme planning for FP10 is getting more and more interesting...
