The i3 (Imagine, Innovate, Impact) project aims to promote public engagement with STEM by creating stronger links between researchers and the general public. It unites STEM practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and the public to increase the general public awareness of research and innovation endeavors, support public recognition of researchers, to have stronger support and sense of ownership of research enterprises, to create relevance of researchers’ work on citizen’s daily life and the material world, to support capacity building among young researchers via engagement training, and to encourage young people to become “agents of change” by pursuing their research careers in STEM fields. Bringing top-quality universities, R&D centers, and institutions in STEM engagement and energizing their willingness to “embrace change” will significantly contribute to a wider recognition of research and innovation. The i3 project includes 10 main strands: (i) STEM Slam, (ii) Café Scientific - Meet the Scientist, (iii) STEM Expo, (iv) Guided Visits to Research and Development Labs, (v) Hands- and Minds-on STEM workshops, (vi) Science Shows, (vii) European Union Corner, (viii) Games, (ix) Science Movies, and (x) Concert. Topics and disciplines are structured among STEM with an emphasis on researchers’ contribution and impact on humanities, showcase technological advancement, and promote cutting-edge technological products. That is why our motto is i3: imagine, innovate, impact. In a way, the project might light a spark in the participants’ minds and actions. The i3 project will be held in five cities from east to west, north to central Anatolia.
