IMPACT
WEAKNESS OF THE PROPOSAL:
“No outreach activities are proposed”
“The proposal does not provide enough
details about outreach activities”
“There is insufficient evidence to
demonstrate their impact”
“Outreach activities are not sufficiently and
clearly addressed”
“The planned outreach activities
are rather generic, and not
described in detail”
What?
Goal:
to create awareness among the general public about the research work
performed in the MCA's and its implications for citizens
to introduce students from schools and universities to science, research
and innovation
these students should be encouraged and
motivated to pursue careers in science
“Researchers should ensure that their research activities are made known to
society at large in such a way that they can be understood by non-specialists,
thereby improving the public's understanding of science. Direct engagement
with the public will help researchers to better understand public interest in
priorities for science and technology and also the public's concerns“1
