ReFocuS FLOW

The ReFocuS FLOW (Road to Friday of Science FLOWs) project aims at broadening citizens' awareness of why R&I are important to community by bringing the researchers into the focus of the general public. Following the trends and guidelines of both the EU and UNESCO, all activities of ReFocuS FLOW will highlight the EU Green Deal and EU missions as the most urgent challenges the modern humans are faced with, following clear and time-bound goals to offer solutions for these important issues. Special attention will be paid on raising the awareness that citizens must take the initiative to achieve the goals set. The ReFocuS FLOW having the central theme “The FLOW of Science” will consist of two parts. European Researchers’ Night and Researchers at Schools activities with the 2024’s theme “The FLOW of Knowledge” will focus on defining the problems facing our planet and society, familiarizing citizens with the EU missions, raising their awareness that only together researchers, citizens, industry, local and regional authorities, with the aid of knowledge flows, should work towards successfully fulfilling the EU missions. European Researchers’ Night and Researchers at Schools 2025’s activities with the theme “The FLOW of People” will offer citizens concrete solutions to achieve challenging but achievable goals by showcasing successful results and ongoing progress of existing EU missions and highlighting the EU's selfless commitment to shaping sustainable and prosperous future.
