Abstract

The main objective of the CLoSER project is to enhance researchers’ public recognition generating trust in science and making the whole society acknowledge the need for taking responsibility and taking part in the public debate on research and innovation. The public at large in all its components, whichever their age and scientific background, will be offered the opportunity of discovering the “human face” of research via direct exchanges and discussions with the researchers, thus understanding the impact research and innovation have on their daily lives.
