In September 2011 we successfully organized Researcher’s Night 2011 with a goal to promote science, scientists and their results. The event was organized in collaboration with Faculty of Information Studies Novo mesto within the INSARTY (Introducing Science and Art to Slovenian Youth and Citizens) FP project. In order to reach the specific objective of bringing researchers closer to the public at large the Researcher’s Night was organized at different locations in the centre of Ljubljana (Prešeren Square, Jožef Stefan Institute, Prešernova street) and Novo mesto (Janez Trdina Cultural Centre). The estimated total number of visitors at all venues was between 3000 and 4000. The event received big attention in national media (national TV and radio, POP TV, etc.). High interest was also reflected with over 23.000 visits on a web page www.zaznanost.si and 754 “Likes” on Facebook. During the event, we successfully demonstrated the use of videoconferencing technologies that are being developed within the project.
