On June 1, 2025, during the event „Bulevardul Copiilor@UVT”, CeCOCe-Vest was present in the community with a dual mission: to bring science closer to children and young people, and to promote the national initiative for career guidance in research, developed within the ERA Talent Platform.

🎓 The network of eight regional centers for research career counseling and guidance was visible throughout the event through:

• informative materials about the services offered in the centers;
• promoting interviews with leading researchers who can inspire new generations.

📺 A special attraction was the popularization of interviews with two senior researchers and PNRR I8 project managers: Philippe Veber & Maxim Chernodub.
Through these interviews, participants were able to discover real research paths, international perspectives, challenges, and motivations directly from professionals active in the field.

🧪 In an educational but also playful context, children and teenagers were encouraged to explore science through play and experimentation. CeCOCe-Vest highlighted the importance of critical thinking, scientific curiosity, and professional support in choosing a career path.

🌍 All activities were carried out as part of “Luna Verde @ UVT 2025,” an event that transformed Aleea UVT and Bulevardul Vasile Pârvan into a lively space, full of ideas, color, and energy. CeCOCe-Vest demonstrated once again that research is accessible and exciting, even for the youngest curious minds.

🎯 It was a valuable opportunity to cultivate a passion for science, encourage children’s dreams, and strengthen the visibility of a national network dedicated to supporting future researchers in Romania.
