    With this project, we aim to bring researchers closer to the general public and stimulate the interest in science careers among young people. Citizens of all ages will be able to discover research focusing on three natural environments permitting them to exchange ideas and experiences with scientists. The events take place in various inspiring locations in Brussels, capital of EU, so it is also a place-discovery of historic and natural landmarks to conduct research. The unique features of the WISENIGHT proposal are: Focus on gender diversity in scientific careers by showcasing women role models; Link between sciences and the arts by movie screenings and integrating a photo exhibition created for the occasion; Inclusive in all its aspects by involving many types of research actors in the local ecosystem (French and Dutch) and addressing a diverse public (all ages, all socio-economic backgrounds). To achieve this, we will organise more than eighty activities engaging the audience like Demonstrations focused on sustainability and climate change; Arts & Science exhibitions portraying female scientists, Workshops focusing on new trends in science and technology such as water and solar power & food of the future, A movie aiming to present issues related to gender equity. Our awareness campaign will be one of the successful key points in this project. A dedicated media plan has been designed and a specialized press office will be involved to promote the activities in the most important newspapers and TV channels at national level, also promoting our outreach events throughout the whole year on social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). In order to evaluate the impact of our project, we will analyse the target audience reached during the WISENIGHT; measure the increase of knowledge and promotion of the researcher's figure; evaluate how much and which media have influenced the dissemination activities; and understand the level of appreciation of the events.

    Funder Contribution: 298,654 EUR

    With this project, Belgian Women in Science, a Brussels-based non-profit organisation, aims to bring women researchers closer to the general public and stimulate the interest in scientific careers among young people with a special focus on gender diversity and inclusiveness. Citizens of all ages will be able to discover research related to nature, space and the 5 EU missions (cancer, soil deal, ocean & waters, adaptation to climate change, climate-neutral smart cities) allowing them to exchange ideas and experiences with scientists about their careers and breakthroughs. To achieve this, we will organize over 100 activities engaging the audience like demonstrations focused on climate change and evolution; art & science exhibitions portraying female scientists, workshops focusing on new trends in science and technology such as water and solar power and food of the future. The European Researchers Night (“Night”) events take place in two inspiring locations in Brussels, the capital of the European Union, also enabling the discovery of historic and natural landmarks where research has been conducted for almost two centuries. The ‘Researchers at Schools’ (“Schools”) workshops take place in schools, with a special focus on reaching vulnerable children. In addition, some workshops will be organised at a Brussels university campus, where students can become researchers & innovators, and in the two musea (Museum of Natural Sciences “Museum” and the Planetarium of Belgium “Planetarium”). Our awareness campaign will be one of the successful key points in this project. A dedicated media plan has been designed and a specialized press office will be involved to promote the activities at national level, also promoting our outreach events throughout the whole year on social media channels. In order to evaluate the impact, we will analyse the target audience reached; measure the increase of knowledge and promotion of the researcher's figure; and understand the level of appreciation.
