MONTENIGHT 2021 "CREATE FUTURE" has an aim to upgrade the image of researchers, novel technologies, and innovations, addressing their important role in the perspective of our society in the modern Era. Following the European Green Deal definition "improving the well-being of people" the MonteNight2021 will also focus on raising awareness of the green future. The MonteNight 2021 is a continuation of a decade-long tradition of implementation of Researchers' Nights in Montenegro, since 2009. The project will demonstrate the "human face" of research and innovations by clarifying practical benefits in everyday life. The project will promote a knowledge-based society by emphasizing research and innovations in competitive sectors having in mind not only benefits for growth and development but also challenges that we face with social, political, and ethical implications of technologies. The events will be staged in the Montenegrin capital Podgorica (universities, museums, galleries, shopping malls, main squares) and 10 more cities, while 10 pre-events smaller scale science Festivals would be held in all three regions. RN activities involve Open Science Show, 300 hands-on experiments, Virtual and Augmented Reality and Hologram technologies, robot performances, Science and Art installations, Science Cafe, Quiz, Concert, Interdisciplinary workshops, panel debates, Science kindergarten ... Our target audiences are high school & university students, preschool and elementary school children, parents, school administrators, teachers, researchers, the general public, and media. At least 5000 of them would be directly involved, expecting 50000 online visitors, and up to 50% of the population would be reached via media advertising. The pan-European values will be disseminated through EU Corner.

The MonteNight2022-23 is a continuation of a tradition of Researchers' Nights in Montenegro, since 2009, demonstrating the "human face" of research and innovations by clarifying practical benefits in everyday life. The MonteNight SHAPING FUTURE brings researchers closer to the public addressing their important role from the perspective of society. The MonteNight would attract people of all ages, while inclusiveness should be a key, given access to science to all, promoting gender balance and inclusiveness in science, Open Science, and Responsible Research and Innovation. Following the European Green Deal orientation, with the fact that Montenegro has been declared as an Ecological state, MonteNight will also focus on raising awareness of the green future and the importance of researchers in reaching sustainable development. The project will promote a knowledge-based society by emphasizing research and innovations in competitive sectors, having in mind not only benefits for development but also challenges that we face with social, political, and ethical implications of science and technologies. The Night would combine education with entertainment, including science shows, hands-on experiments, debates, robot performances, quizzes, simulations, concerts, interdisciplinary workshops, etc. By bringing researchers to schools across the country, MonteNight will promote Researchers at Schools activities throughout both years. The project would be coordinated at the national level, at a wide geographical spread, targeting researchers, school children, students, parents, teachers, the general public, and media... At least 350 of them would be directly involved in the organization, expecting about 6,000 visitors, while up to 50% of the population would be reached via media advertising. The MonteNight would be highlighted as a Europe-wide event, while the pan-European values will be disseminated through public tribunes, introducing researchers who benefit from EU support.

MONTENIGHT 2020 "IMAGINE FUTURE" has an aim to upgrade the image of researchers, novel technologies, and innovations, addressing their important role for the prospective of our society in Modern Era. The project will demonstrate the "human face" of R&I by clarifying practical benefits and impact on everyday life and motivate youth to pursue science studies and careers. The project will promote a knowledge-based society by emphasizing R&I in competitive sectors (ICT technologies, researches in the field of energy and sustainable environment, sustainable and health tourism and sustainable agriculture and food, as well as other relevant fields to build up Montenegro as a healthy, sustainable and digital society), while activities program will include MSC fellows for the first time. The events will be staged in the Montenegrin capital Podgorica (universities, museums, galleries, shopping malls, main squares) and in 8 more cities, while 10 pre-events smaller scale science Festivals would be held in all three regions. RN activities involve Open Science Show, 300 hands-on experiments, robot performances, Science and Art installations, Science Cafe, Quiz, student science and innovation competitions, Concert, Movie projections, Interdisciplinary workshops, friendly events for kids - Science Cooking, Science kindergarten, Funny Math ... Our target audiences are high school & university students, preschool and elementary school children, parents, school administrators, teachers, researchers, general public, and media. At least 5000 of them would be directly involved, and up to 50% of the population would be reached via media advertising. The pan-European values will be disseminated through EU Corners, public tribunes, and panels, introducing researchers who benefit from EU support.
