 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'LEEDS stands for 'Let’s Explore, Discover and make friends with Science'. The project focuses on promotion of science among younger population as well as general public, primarily in smaller urban communities which lack higher-education and research facilities. The awareness campaign comprises broadcasting of TV educational science shows (produced by the Croatian Television in cooperation with authors of this project, and participation of school children) which portray science as a fun and challenging activity, and production of 6 new shows in summer of 2010. It will also comprise participation in several science-oriented radio shows on Croatian national and local radio stations, promotional activities during spring Science Festival in several cities with nation-wide coverage in all major mass media, promotion in local newspapers, and promotion in the Geopark Rab infocentre. The Researchers' Night programme encompasses: a) Exhibition of scientific photography 'Flavours of Science' which comprises 15 images ranging from the deep space to electron-microscope images, all of which will be explained in a booklet/catalogue, and b) Personal contacts with scientists during public lectures, discussions, demonstrations and social gathering. The programme will be organized simultaneously on 5 locations; the cities of Lepoglava, Zagreb, Korenica, Starigrad-Paklenica, and Rab city on the island of Rab. The demonstrating team will visit all of the locations in days prior to the Night to prepare the exhibition and demonstrate mathematical topology, chemistry, and earth sciences, as an introduction to the Night. On the Night itself, each city will host several scientists, both established, and young researchers who will deliver public lectures, and take part in discussion evenings and social gathering. An EU-corner will be put in each of the locations, and will host dedicated programme and info-materials.'
