The idea for TWISE (Tunisian Well-Being through Inclusive SciencE) Night was put forth by an assortment of scientific researchers and scientific communication specialists from the research and innovation community, as well as key players in R&I and organizations. The primary objective of the project is to promote public awareness of research and innovation initiatives that contribute not only to environmental sustainability but also to the enhancement of societal well-being and the fostering of inclusivity. The ARSII association, a key participant in the initial two ERN editions with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, collaborates closely with the REACT association and four prominent Tunisian universities—namely, the University of Sfax, the University of Carthage, the University of Sousse, and the University of Monastir. They share a profound understanding that researchers play an essential role in the community, and their work is not only engaging and stimulating but also rewarding and worth pursuing. In order to accomplish these goals, TWISE Night 2024 will take place in Sousse, which is known as the "pearl of the Tunisian Sahel followed by TWISE Night 2025 in Tunis. Pre-events and "Researchers at Schools'' will also be hosted in Sousse, Monastir, and Mahdia, as well as in Sfax and Tunis.

The systemic use of urban landscapes for food production is a major step towards more sustainable, liveable and healthier cities. A multitude of initiatives around the World, however fragmented, are prospering, forming a global movement of Edible Cities. Their products, activities and services – the Edible City Solutions (ECS) - empower local communities to overcome social problems by their inclusive and participatory dynamics and to create new green businesses and jobs, and thereby generating local economic growth and fostering social cohesion. EdiCitNet will leverage the substantial benefits that ECS effect today at local level and catalyse their replication EU- and world-wide by launching a fully open and participatory network of cities, empowering their inhabitants by a common methodology a) to systematically explore the wealth and diversity of existing ECS, b) to adapt, plan and implement successfully proven ECS in their specific urban context. To make this happen, EdiCitNet will close knowledge gaps in the effective implementation of ECS and their transformation into sustainable, innovative business models. This new insight will feed into a openly shared and globally accessible knowledge base and methodology to enable sustainable and evidence-based integration of ECS into the long-term urban planning of cities covering a large spectrum of urban, climatic, social, environmental and cultural contexts. 5 Front Runner Cities (FRC), supported by a highly interdisciplinary consortium of city authorities, SME, NGOs and academia, will demonstrate their unique experience with own Living Labs and transfer their knowledge to 7 dedicated Follower Cities (FC), determined to replicate ECS for the benefit of their inhabitants. The carefully selected group of FRC and FC allows to study and monitor implementation in large variety of environments and also ensures truly global outreach with city partners based in Central America, Africa and East Asia
