Project summary

Strengthening the researcher-citizen connection

It is important to bridge the gap between researchers and the public. The European Researchers' Night is an example of how researchers take the opportunity to interact with citizens of all ages every year to demonstrate the impact of their research on society. The EU-funded U*Night project goes one step further. It aims to expand its outreach programme to also include rural, semi-rural and mountainous regions that were previously inaccessible. The project builds on the Horizons Europe Missions, which bring together diverse resources to build a more inclusive and resilient continent, translate key issues into concrete goals and link researchers' work to real life. Ultimately, U*Night will become an open laboratory for communication and outreach practices.
