The European Researchers' Night in Bosnia and Herzegovina 2021 (RiNG-21) aims to bring researchers closer to the general public and to shape deeper connection between research, creativity and entrepreneurship. RiNG-21 is a flagship science promotion event in BiH while continuing to work on increasing awareness of research and innovation potentials in BiH, supporting public recognition of researchers and promoting achievements by local scientists and research-driven entrepreneurs, addressing research impact on people's daily life, and encouraging young people to embark on research careers. Shortly, main objectives are: Enhance researchers' public recognition; Increase awareness about research results, especially regarding the daily lives of citizens; Stimulate interest in research careers, in particular amongst young people facing a career choice. RiNG-21 slogan is "Beyond the Horizon", dedicating 2021 edition to highlighting the skills and knowledge needed to prepare for the future, as well to put a spotlight on the cutting-edge research. RiNG-21 is a multidisciplinary STEAM event, aiming to highlight people in Science, Technology, Entrepreneurship, Arts and Makers in BiH and Western Balkan region. RiNG-21 is a science festival of national character, involving coordinated actions in at least ten cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and incorporates cross-border aspect by involving researchers and research-driven business from the Balkan region as participants in RiNG activities. Due to coronavirus, the main event will be held online with smaller scale on-site activities in the participating cities. RiNG-21 is aiming to reach over 1 million people during awareness raising campaign and involve at least 26.000 participants in the organized online and in-person events during 2021 by including at least ten cities across BiH in the implementation of the European Researchers' Night activities.

European Researchers' Night in Bosnia and Herzegovina 2018-2019 (RiNG-18-19) will jointly represent research and innovation landscape from Republika Srpska and Federation of BiH, promote scientific careers and enhance public recognition of researchers' work with the message "Researchers are amongst us" by engaging interactive communication with the public at large in whole BiH. RiNG-18-19 slogan is “Let's STEAM! We are all creators.” where STEAM refers to Arts in STEM, and is modified to highlight people in Science, Technology, Entrepreneurship, Arts and Makers. RiNG is a Researchers’ Night of national character, involving coordinated actions in at least eight cities in BiH, and incorporates cross-border aspect by involving researchers and research-driven business from the Balkan region as participants in RiNG activities. Promotion campaign will largely rely on European dimension and will be coordinated with other Researchers' Nights in EU and Western Balkan region. Specific activities will be organized in several cities in BiH, thus becoming "national" research promotion event in this country: - Edutainment parks with hands-on experiments, directly engaging general public into communication with researchers; - High school competitions for the best science projects; - Various competitions, games and quizzes, especially directed to younger audience; - Thematic activities at supporting universities, research centres and museums; - "Stand Up Science" lectures and presentations in TED format; - "Science for Cultural Heritage" hackathon; - 3 min research idea pitch competition for students; - Large EU area: EU corners with policy and gender issues advisory, as well exhibition of EU-funded projects in BiH; - Science Movie Night and Science Party. RiNG-18-19 total quantitative targets are: - Number of people to be reached through awareness raising campaign in BiH: 1.000.000; - Expected number of direct attendees to organized events in whole BiH: 42.000.

The Researchers' Night 2014/2015 in Bosnia and Herzegovina – RiNG-14-15, will unite research communities from Republika Srpska and Federation of BiH, jointly promote scientific careers and enhance public recognition of researchers' work with the message "Researchers are amongst us" by engaging interactive communication with the public at large in whole BiH. RiNG 2014 will direct edutainment activities under slogan "Sign for Science", creating campaign with focus on "traffic signs" and developing real life roadmap on how to find science, how to investigate, and how to reach the innovations. The implementation of Night activities is based on idea to create sort of "science traffic school" in open area, creating traffic sign and traffic controllers that would direct participants to specific areas. RiNG 2015: "Chain Reaction" and celebration of 10th anniversary of EU Researchers' Nights. Promotion campaign will largely rely on European dimension and will be coordinated with other Researchers' Nights in EU and Western Balkan region. Specific activities will be organized in several cities in BiH, thus becoming "national" research promotion event in this country: - Edutainment parks with hands-on experiments, directly engaging general public into communication with researchers; - High school competitions for the best science projects; - Science coffee and talks to scientists, labelled as "RiNG ME"; - Various competitions, games and quizzes, especially directed to younger audience; - "Stand Up Science" lectures, presentations; - Large EU area: EU corners with policy and gender issues advisory, as well exhibition of EU-funded projects in BiH; - Thematic activities at supporting universities, research centres and museums; - Science Movie Night and Science Party. RiNG-14-15 quantitative targets per year are: - Number of people to be reached through awareness raising campaign in BiH: 300.000; - Expected number of direct attendees to organized events in whole BiH: 15.000.
