The 2010 Researchers' night coordinated by the Silesian University of Technology (Gliwice, Poland) is actually the continuation of 4 previous similar events. It will take place in the "traditional" two main Silesian Cities, i.e. Gliwice and Katowice, but also in four smaller towns, being Zabrze, Rybnik, Sosnowiec and Cieszyn. The broad and varied programme of acivities will address all categories of the public at large, regardeless of age and scientific background, and combine in a balanced way "serious" and fun activities. They all will take place in university campuses or nearby and will notably include: face-to-face meetings with researchers, hands on experiments conducted by researchers, "Play scientist" (conducting experiments), workshops, live demonstrations, lectures, concerts, shows, contests, disco conducted by one of the vice-rectors in Gliwice. In order to alow young pratiipants to enjoy the activities, they will start early in the afternoon. Worth mentioning is the fact that the coordinator aims in the future at biulding consortium gathering all Silesian universities, which would increase the effectiveness of the communication activities organised in the area counting almost 4,9 million inhabitants.

The development of innovative 'Advanced Therapies' offers new approaches to tackle major diseases such as cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer or Parkinson. The progress made in the fields of 'Tissue Engineering' and 'Regenerative Medicine' (TERM) promises to deliver long awaited new solutions. They are recognized as potential sources for medical progress and significant economic growth where Europe should position itself. Since advanced therapies are often based on personalized medicine, the translation of medical developments into real-life, sustainable therapies is challenged by several hurtles. We need new scientific (multi-disciplinary, GMP-conform research environment), economic (new business models for high-cost-low frequency treatments) and structural (translation-oriented RTD) solutions. Europe has to improve its research capacities and accelerate translation to catch up with the US and keep ahead of rapidly developing Asian countries. TERM project aims at a consolidating skills and infrastructures among European regions and their research clusters through the definition of joint actions and mentoring. The goal is to derive high potential, translation-oriented projects from joining skill-sets, infrastructures and networks and from recognizing the requirements of the market forces. The financing situation shall also be analyzed and adapted to the requirements. TERM project will develop knowledge and strategies on how to use resources of the regions and clusters more efficiently with more synergy and focus. The knowledge generated shall be used to develop tools to efficiently assess the research potential of a region, implement best practices in a research cluster, develop inter-regional programs with joined research goals and suggest financial instruments that support these efforts. Therefore, the output of our project will be the development of a European strategy, action plan and best practice tools on how to link research clusters from different regions

WAHARA will take a transdisciplinary approach to develop innovative, locally adapted water harvesting solutions with wider relevance for rainfed Africa. Water harvesting technologies play a key role in bringing about an urgently needed increase in agricultural productivity, and to improve food and water security in rural areas. Water harvesting technologies enhance water buffering capacity, contributing to the resilience of African drylands to climate variability and climate change, as well as to socio-economic changes such as population growth and urbanisation. To ensure the continental relevance of project results, research will concentrate on four geographically dispersed study sites in Tunisia, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia and Zambia, covering diverse socio-economic conditions and a range from arid to sub-humid climates. The project emphasizes: i) participatory technology design, i.e. selecting and adapting technologies that have synergies with existing farming systems and that are preferred by local stakeholders, yet tap from a global repertoire of innovative options; ii) sustainable impact, i.e. technologies that combine multiple uses of water, green and blue water management, and integrated water and nutrient management. Using models, water harvesting systems will be designed for maximum impact without compromising downstream water-users, contributing to sustainable regional development; iii) integration and adaptability, i.e. paying attention to the generic lessons to be learned from local experiences, and developing guidelines on how technologies can be adapted to different conditions; and iv) learning and action, i.e. a strategy will be developed to enable learning and action from successes achieved locally: a. within a region, to upscale from water harvesting technologies to water harvesting systems, and b. across regions, promoting knowledge exchange at continental scale.

Fruit Breedomics has as its strategic goal to improve the efficiency of fruit breeding by bridging the gap between scientific genetics research and application in breeding. Fruit Breedomics takes a multidisciplinary approach, including genetics, genomics, ecophysiology and bioinformatics, to improve the efficiency apple and peach breeding programmes by: i) developing new and adapted tools, ii) studying a wide range of traits to enlarge the coverage of selection criteria, iii) analysing and exploiting the wide genetic diversity available, iv) making the research outputs (valuable traits, genetic markers and genes, innovative tools and methodologies, new plant material) directly applicable for the breeders, v) establishing a stakeholder network. Fruit Breedomics will provide the European fruit tree sector with cutting-edge breeding tools to improve selection efficiency as well as superior pre-breeding material to meet grower and consumer demands for healthy cultivars of high quality that can be grown in sustainable agriculture systems in the context of climate change. The project will develop tailored molecular and bioinformatics tools to extensively exploit the diversity present in European germplasm collections and breeding populations. This will lead to the selection of desired favourable genes needed for improvement of main horticultural traits. The collected data will provide precious genetic information on the pool of genitors and founders to be used in future breeding programmes. The project will focus primarily on apple and peach, two major fruits in Europe, but many tools and much knowledge gained will also be of benefit to other species of the Rosaceae family via the strong ancestral relatedness among these species.

This proposal recognises that effective solutions to existing problems in long-distance door-to-door passenger transport chains require the provision of attractive integrated networks and services and this is likely to require vision and co-operation between stakeholders in the public and private sectors. ORIGAMI will build on the substantial body of knowledge on long-distance passenger transport already available from past and current projects (in particular KITE, LINK, INTERCONNECT, HERMES and CLOSER) by collecting a substantial body of new data on the attitudes of long-distance travellers to alternative future transport supplies and by collating examples of best practise and of new, yet untried, technical solutions. One strand of work will then analyse the technical solutions, investigate the extent to which solutions found in one mode can be transferred to other modes, identify barriers to be overcome, and discuss the findings with stakeholders. Another strand of work will investigate traveller behaviour and attitudes in different countries and regions in order to identify the factors, demographics and traveller requirements which are likely to influence future trends in travel behaviour. Scenarios will be developed to investigate alternative futures and pathways towards a successful intermodal transport system and a range of modelling approaches will be used to forecast the demand for different modal combinations in the different scenarios. Solutions will be evaluated against relevant criteria for European transport policy and recommendations will be made and disseminated amongst policy makers and other stakeholders including industry representatives and researchers.

A small European country Estonia with the population of only about a million people needs to work hard to keep its position in today’s Europe. The outflow of young well-educated people to the other countries is a complicated problem hereby. To encourage the young people to embark on a career in science in Estonia (or in other European countries) it is necessary to demonstrate local research structures and to introduce leading scientists to open public – the profession of a researcher should be achievable and wanted. Researchers’ Nights and other events are changing the public attitude and demonstrating the attractiveness of the researchers work.

The city of Leipzig is planning its participation in the European Researcher’s Night as part of an integrated policy to raise public awareness for research activities in local scientific and educational institutions. A vital network of schools, companies, academic institutions and research facilities that fosters young people’s interest in sciences and technology already exists. With the celebration of the 600 years university history, the city and all regional actors have initiated a dynamic process to advance in integrating the scientific community within the city’s society. The European Researcher’s Night will bring these activities to a new level and allow for the establishment of a biannual rhythm of such events in Leipzig. Being aware of the responsibility to communicate and actively integrate the general public within scientific debates and institutions an innovative project was put together. A broad awareness campaign that uses the potential of regional and local media outlets as well as the possibilities of the internet will reach a large number of people and ensure a high turnout of visitors. The event will reach at least 10000 people. The Researcher’s Night is supported by scientific institutions such as Leipzig University, the Fraunhofer Institute for Immunology and Cell Therapy (IZI), the Max Planck Institute of Evolutionary Anthropology, the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), and many others, as well as by local business companies. Its concept is aimed at reaching people of all ages and educational backgrounds, and provides a smart combination of information and entertainment. The impact assessment will be used to measure the sustainability of the Researcher’s Night activities and provide valuable information for future initiatives for the promotion of science and research.

The project “Everyday Science 2010” represents the second edition of Researchers’ Night initiative in Emilia-Romagna after the first successful experience of 2009. The 24th September 2010 public events dedicate to researchers take place in Bologna and in other 7 towns: Cesena, Faenza, Ferrara, Modena, Parma, Ravenna and Reggio Emilia. All universities, main research centres and local public authorities compose a significant partnership coordinated by ASTER, the regional Consortium between the Emilia-Romagna Region, the universities, research organisations and professional associations. Within a mix of continuity and novelty, the project intends to make of Researchers’ Night an annual edutainment appointment on science for the regional context. In 2010, experiments, open lessons, guided tours, exhibitions, talk shows, information and interactive services are planned to be performed by researchers themselves, combined with music and entertainment. A central event, hosting researchers from all the region, and several satellite events ensure the regional coverage of the project. Such events will be accompanied and supported by the awareness campaign aiming at informing and promoting public events and the contents related through a variety of tools and media. Impact assessment activities are also foreseen in order to measure and evaluate the perception that general public has of researchers’ profession and role of research in everyday life. After the experience of 2009, the project can count on a large consensus by public local authorities (region, municipalities and provinces) and private sponsors, supporting the organisation of events and the awareness campaign through patronage, sponsorship and in-kind services. A more intense involvement of young people is planned with special programmes and activities.
