European Researchers’ Night to engage youth and others across France
For European Researchers’ Night 2022-2023 in France, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) project FREETOACT will organise events in 16 cities. The latest edition has two themes, ‘The Unexpected’ and ‘Our Futures’, intended to foster discussion with researchers and enrich public perception of science in society. Mediators will coach the 2 800 researchers involved in the project for optimal engagement with the public, whether through ‘Researchers at School’ activities or adults’ participation in the Great Participatory Experiment in 2023. The Night is aimed at improving understanding of how research actually works and prompting citizens to explore how research does and can shape our (un)expected futures.
