The European Researchers' Night in Bosnia and Herzegovina 2020 (RiNG-20) aim is to bring researchers closer to the general public and to shape deeper connection between research, creativity and entrepreneurship. RiNG-20 will be 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-20 slogan is “Discover Hidden Treasures”, dedicating 2020 edition to specifically highlight “hidden treasures” of Bosnia and Herzegovina – while focusing as much on natural as well intellectual resources of this country. RiNG-20 is a multidisciplinary STEAM event, aiming to highlight people in Science, Technology, Entrepreneurship, Arts and Makers in BiH and Western Balkan region. RiNG-20 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. RiNG-20 is aiming to reach over 1 million people during awareness raising campaign and involve at least 20.000 participants in the organized events during 2020 by implementing European Researchers’ Night in ten cities of BiH.

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 European Researchers' Night in Bosnia and Herzegovina 2024-2025 (RiNG-24-25) aim is to bring researchers closer to the general public and to shape a deeper connection between research, creativity and entrepreneurship. RiNG-24-25 will be a flagship science promotion event in BiH with the main focus on increasing awareness of research and innovation potentials in BiH, supporting public recognition of researchers and science-driven entrepreneurs, highlighting research impact on people’s daily life, and encouraging young people to embark on research careers. It will promote the European research and education programmes, inclusion in the European Research Area, and support the BiH path towards the EU. The 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. – Strengthen the connection between research and education by bringing researchers to schools and kindergartens. RiNG-24-25 slogan is “Naukatorium: Bridge the Mind”, creating a physical and online space for knowledge to connect the minds within the BiH and across the borders.

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.
