The main aim of the project is to bring researchers closer to the general public, involve them in civic life and encourage young people, especially girls, to pursue a career in science. Researchers, their work and their hobbies will be presented in an interactive way that educates the public, especially students, about research and innovation, with an emphasis on co-creation, the role of R&I in society and the economy, the social relevance of EU research policy and improving science communication. During the two years, we will organise pre- and post-events
