THE (TOGETHER FOR HUMAN
EXCELLENCE)
PROGRAMME FOR SCIENCE COMMUNICATION
As founders of the programme for the popularization of
science called THE (Together for Human
Excellence) we believe that science has a most important role among the
factors influencing the life of an individual and the future of humanity on a
shorter or longer term. At once, the role and way of thinking of young
scientists have a most important role in the scholarly community.
THE project considers its mission to strenghten the value of knowledge
and raise desire in learning in the forthcoming generations. We are hoping to assist them to build a genuine trust for the future and direct them
back to the way leading to a knowledge- and value-based society. We are also
dedicated to work on improving the acknowledgement of young scientists and
making healthy competition for positive goals “fashionable” again.
THE science
communication programme undertakes the
task of
- addressing, organizing and
orienting those from the forthcoming generation, who count as the real “resource”
of the future: those who are aiming at real success, and are ready to work
in order to this, and those who are aware of the fact that the
responsibility of this work mainly depends on what abilities, skills,
knowledge and mentality they develop in themselves, and how well they are
familiar with the culture, market and modality of their nation and of the
world
- raising desire in learning
and in science among young people
- improving the acknowledgement
of Hungarian and international young scientists and researchers
- supporting the dialogue
between Hungarian and international young scientists and researchers
- promoting a closer
cooperation of branches of science; ending the useless dismemberment and
opening way to multidisciplinarity
1. Our
fundamental goals:
n
introducing and popularizing
science and cultural values in the 16-36 age-group
n
raising interest in science and
cultural values among students in secondary and higher education
n
inviting and orienting youngsters
to choose scientific, art and cultural career
n
supporting an unambiguous,
efficient modern science communication
n
supporting a formation of society
based on knowledge
n
improving the acknowledgement of
scientific institutions and researchers
n
supporting the career of talented
young university students, researchers, artists by introducing their work to
the public
n
providing an international forum
for scientific discussion
n
taking a bridge-building role
between branches of science, creating a common scientific forum
n
contributing to the protection of
nature and environment through strengthening social consciousness regarding
these issues
n
cooperation with acclaimed
Hungarian and international notabilities, governmental, social and other
organizations dedicated to the same goals

The scientific authenticity of our project is
guaranteed by an editorial committee consisiting of notable representatives of
several scientific branches. Many renowned associations take part in the
realization of our project such as the MISZ
(Hungarian Association for Innovation), the OKM (Hungarian Ministry of
Education and Culture), the TIT (Society
for Dissemination of Scientific Knowledge) and the MAFITUD (Society of young Hungarian Scientists).
We believe that a most widespread national and
international cooperation is essential to achieve these goals. To this end we
are searching for Hungarian and international partners who share our
committment for science and for the above goals, and are willing to cooperate
with us in realizing them and in hope of a possible common FP7 bid.
