At the Movies · Researchers at the Movies

The importance of innovation in a European context has never been clearer. The current economic crisis illustrates that sustainable growth with improved living conditions for all can only be achieved with better use of limited resources and advances in technology, knowledge and productivity. In these conditions, innovation and creativity, research and development are blossoming in most sectors and especially within the research community itself. The main concept of the proposal is to bring researchers in direct contact with the public at large and promote recognition of their role in contributing to the development of European society as a whole. The objective is to influence a more positive public perception of researchers as persons by portraying their many facets and facilitate active dialogue between scientists and guests at Researchers’ Night.
