Life is Science in a World turned Upside-Down

ongoing

"Our public events, held in conjunction with the European Researchers’ Night (ERN) in Graz, Austria, will be titled ""Life is Science in a World turned Upside-Down"" (Lis-World). The title signifies our central objective – to showcase the vital role of science in navigating the complexities of today's world. In the face of (emerging) global challenges, public engagement for a more informed, sustainable, and scientifically-literate society is paramount. Attendees will gain firsthand insights into the daily work of researchers and science communicators across various science disciplines, highlighting the profound impact of science on our daily lives. The event’s framework centers around four distinctive storylines: Earth Explorers, Health Investigators, Tech Pioneers, and Science Reporters. These designations are chosen not only to pique the attendees' individual interests, but also to directly engage them in specific roles and give them the opportunity to earn a badge, for example, as a ""Science Reporter”. This immersive approach encourages active participation, ensuring that each visitor can directly experience the heart of these scientific domains."
