Building bridges through research: Тhe right way to the European Union (RNMKD)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2013 PROJECT  FINISHED 

"Macedonia is experiencing constraints in relation to science, technology and innovation, similar to those of the other Southeast European countries. This then prevents developing a strong research community and environment. Thus, this project aims to enhance public recognition of researchers and scientists, celebrate the fruits of their work, stimulate interest in research among wide non-academic audience including youth and encourage consideration of research and basic science as a profession. The specific objectives of the project are:• To depict researchers as ordinary people who perform extraordinary jobs that fuel our society ahead;• To bring the profile of the researcher and the scientist in the Macedonian society closer to the ‘ordinary’ Macedonian people, through general awareness campaign and by involvement of important R&D stakeholders in the Researchers’ Night activities;• To present the wider public the role of science and research for the societal and economic development of the country;• To explain science concepts to children and youth in activities which will provide fun, competition, creativity and education;• To enhance youth’s understanding of science and research and prop up thinking of how they can contribute to the societal development in future, through a series of scientific activities, including showcases of scientists and their work and how these have impacted the societal development."
