Promoting cross and complementary projects, Real Researchers for Real meetings (RRRM) part of a dynamic coaching and preparation of meetings between researchers and the public at the European event of 23 September 2011 favoring atmosphere of conviviality and exhange. 11 partners, including universities, science centers, associations, located throughout the country, from East to West, from North to South have been working on a common project in the desire to give a better exposure to the Researchers’ night It will build on the skills of mediators, designers implementing features unique to the specific venue and audience expected. The devices chosen should enable researchers to disconnect from their work environment. Researchers will be put in a situation of dialogue, sharing and exchange with citizens. Upstream work will present their demonstration, the specific focus and to facilitate the meeting as the focus of events. Priority should be given in this approach features highlighting the human person and how to approach his craft at the expense of handling and animations that may conflict with the very purpose of the event, namely to amend the representation citizens of the researchers. " A job coaching and complementarity may be conducted with artists in a dynamic view of a put, a fresh perspective on science. These approaches must be part of the pathways of the event and its programming leading visitors through a process of questioning the role of the researcher in our societies, and conversely how researchers articulate their jobs in our societies.

On the 23rd of September 2011, 3 big events will be organised in three Belgian cities in the frame of the European Researchers’ night. This project will be organised by the Belgian Science Policy office in collaboration with major universities and research institutions. For this edition, all partners agreed to animate the different events on the theme of “Art & Science”. This theme will enable the citizens to better understand and appreciate the work of researchers in relation with artistic disciplines but also to discover the esthetics of sciences. Quizzes, games, experiments, discussions, films, and other activities will make this event dynamic. The interaction between researchers and visitors will enhance the recognition of the role of the researchers in society and in daily life. It will also promote the careers of researchers among the younger public. Finally, this will help the public to go beyond certain preconceptions about researchers and show that these are not odd characters stuck in a laboratory, but people like you and me.

Everyday we are flooded with scientific terms: in the media, at the supermarket, at the pub with our friends. But who makes this science? And how is it done? How is a scientists’ everyday life? Who better to set things straight than scientists themselves? Using amusing but accurate real life stories, this proposal aims for the production of a television show, to be broadcast on the 23rd of September 2011 in a national television channel. The TV show will include scientific stand-up comedy, previously recorded street interviews with the general public on scientific subjects, a section specially dedicated to the International Year of Chemistry, true reports of real scientists' everyday life, and a award-giving ceremony to an outstanding young Portuguese scientist. The proposal also includes build-up activities, starting in April 2011 and going up to the Researchers' Night. These activities will be developed in the national Ciência Viva Science Centers Network, spread throughout the country, drawing the public's attention to the main event. On the night of September 23rd, these Science Centers will also develop local activities, in coordination with the televised event.

Engineers who design hard real-time embedded systems express a need for several times the performance available today while keeping safety as major criterion. A breakthrough in performance is expected by parallelising hard real-time applications. parMERASA targets a timing analysable system of parallel hard real-time applications running on a scalable multi-core processor. Several new scientific and technical challenges will be tackled in the light of timing analysability: parallelisation techniques for industrial applications, operating system virtualisation and efficient synchronisation mechanisms, guarantee of worst-case execution times (WCET) of parallelised applications, verification and profiling tools, and scalable memory hierarchies together with I/O systems for multi-core processors. The output of parMERASA will be at least an eightfold performance improvement of the WCET for parallelised legacy applications in avionics, automotive, and construction machinery domains in comparison to the original sequential versions. The execution platform, i.e. the parMERASA multi-core processor and system software, will provide temporal and spatial isolation between tasks and scale up to 64 cores. A software engineering approach will be taken targeting at least four parallel execution patterns that are analysable. Verification and profiling tools will be developed, and we aim to provide at least four recommendations to enhance both automotive and avionic standards. parMERASA will impact new products for transportation systems and industrial applications. It will impact standards by introducing parallel execution and time predictability as key features. This will contribute to reinforce the EC position in the field of critical computing systems and yield an advantage for European industry in the highly competitive avionics, automotive, and construction machinery markets.

FESTA is concerned with implementing changes in the working environment of academic researchers, to encourage female researchers to stay and make a career in the academy and to create organizational environments where their competence is valued and fostered. In particular, we address the working environment of researchers in the lower levels of their careers, to make it possible for them to advance to the ranks of highest scientific expertise. The different partner institutions will take actions on some core issues, which have seldom been directly addressed in previous research or implementation, in particular on the level of the daily environment of researchers: formal and informal decision making processes, meeting cultures, PhD supervision, perceptions of excellence in hiring processes and in the work environment, and resistance to equality measures. FESTA partners are geographically diverse and come from universities and research institutions of different sizes and with different histories. The consortium consists of researchers in science and technology, social scientists with a solid background in research on gender in academia, persons with governing and administrative positions on high levels in the institutional hierarchy, and gender equality officers. As gender equality projects are seldom simply transferable from one context to another, FESTA actions will be carefully analyzed in regard to the contextual success and failure factors. FESTA will come out with a variety of measures which research environments in different European contexts can use in addressing core issues in their gender equality work. These will be formulated as toolkits and manuals and disseminated both nationally and on the European level in workshops, conferences and through the different networks of the FESTA partners, in addition to web and paper publishing. Starting date: 1st day of the month after the last signature of the GA parties

Systems of Systems (SoS) are heterogeneous whereby the functionality more and more rely on the interaction and interoperability between the analogue/mixed-signal (AMS), digital electronics, software and other physical domains. To achieve the required reliability, robustness and quality of SoS, mastering the heterogeneous behaviour across domains is the most essential part during the development process. The traditional barriers between different design disciplines such as system design, verification and prototype validation should be removed, by introducing an integral system verification and validation methodology. Verdi aims at improving the design efficiency and quality by developing methods and tools to address the design challenges related to heterogeneous integration. It will link simulation-based, “pre-tape-out” system analysis and verification with system validation and analysis of the physical prototype using measurement equipment, by: • Defining an unified system-level verification and validation methodology • Specifying a Reuse strategy for verification IP, across and inside companies and for different product generations • Defining a path from verification IP to validation IP, to bridge the gap between verification and prototype validation The unified system-level verification library developed in Verdi will bring new concepts to continuously validate the SoS throughout the product creation process, based on methods to create and reuse verification components and IP such as stimuli, test-benches, analysis algorithms, etc. The Verdi methodology and library will demonstrate for safety critical automotive SoS applications: power-train, in-vehicle networking and airbag. As the methodology and library will extend industry-recognized standards (Universal Verification Methodology, SystemC and IP-XACT) they will be actively brought to standardization (Accellera, OSCI), enabling promotion and wider adoption in the industry in other heterogeneous applications.

SCOOP is focussed on OLED technology, microdisplays based on the combination of OLED with CMOS technology, and innovative visualisation systems. OLED microdisplays are based on “Above-IC” integration with the principal value chain being located in Europe. SCOOP intends to improve the competitiveness of European industry by helping the industrial partners to maintain and improve their technological advance and to extend their market share by enabling new products. The project will also contribute to strengthen Europe’s scientific and technology base in the field of OLED and thin film encapsulation, which can be leveraged for a variety of applications through the institutional partners and the material supplier involved in the project. The project will also provide system integrators with components with outstanding features enabling innovative products like informative eyewear or augmented reality glasses. Technical focus is on the development of OLED materials and devices with high brightness and high reliability as well as corresponding thin film encapsulation stacks, in order to overcome current limitations of OLED microdisplays, in particular for high end applications like electronic viewfinders, Head Mounted Displays for augmented reality, CAD, or professional applications. Moreover, by developing a new approach producing colour subpixels without colour filter in a simplified process, we will extend the field of application of OLED microdisplays to systems that require higher luminance for readability even in bright sunlight, like e.g. augmented reality glasses for medical, sports, or logistics. The partners cover the whole value chain, from research, materials, components to systems. All industrial partners have their main manufacturing sites located in Europe. The outcomes of the project are not limited to microdisplay applications but can apply to many OLAE devices like biosensors, small to large size direct view displays, lighting devices, or solar cells

The SILVER project has two concrete primary objectives. The first is to establish and validate a Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) process in the participating countries. The second is to use that process to identify new technologies and services to address the challenge of Supporting the Independent living of the Elderly through Robotics. By the completion of this project there will be a fully documented PCP process, capable of being run as a joint cross-border PCP call for tender with the participating countries. Together with this process there will be supporting artefacts, such as application forms and document templates, which can be used by procurers wishing to run a PCP call. Additionally, the awareness and procurement competencies of local, regional and national public/private purchasers in the field of elderly care and of public authorities running research activities will have been upgraded. For addressing the independent living of the elderly a number of pilot research and development projects will be executed to develop innovative new solutions and technologies. These projects, identified through an open call using the PCP process, will run through a 3 phased life-cycle. This life-cycle will start with short feasibility studies to allow selected highly innovative ideas to be tested in a controlled way to mitigate the inherent risk that innovation brings. Those ideas that prove their viability will then go through a further selection process. The most promising projects will then be selected to develop prototypes and the most promising of those further again into small scale test series of first end-products and thus accelerate their route to commercialisation. By involving purchasers of care services for the elderly as partners within the SILVER project, we will provide these R&D pilots with intelligent lead customers able to assess and shape the solutions. This, together with the enhanced awareness that these purchasers will gain through their involvement, will greatly increase the chance that the ideas will be purchased when they become commercially available products.
