“Be researcher for a night” will invite for the third year again the public to come, play, talk and learn about researchers. The event will take place in 6 major cities from all over Romania, in over 15 locations (research institutes, museums, shopping centers, public places) and aims to reach 30000 qualitative interactions, over 100 researchers, students and teachers and over 200000 prs to be exposed to the awareness campaign. The awareness campaign will start from the first month, with a major component of the internet and social media tools. Also, a contest will be launched “reSEARCH!” where teams of 3 persons will work with researchers in order to promote his/her field of research in 4 categories of contest (secondary school, high-school, student and NGO). In this way we maintain the contact between the researchers and the new generation from various layers of society. The whole event of 2012 will be as a “SCIENCE ITINERARY” where visitors will come and will be guided through various fields and types of experiences (demonstrations, experiments, games, interactive discussions). Although the public tends in this kind of events to discuss only scientific subjects, the personal side of the researchers will be highlighted through multimedia presentation “Why and how?”, personal pictures and articles brought in the area of the workshops, Wanna be medals. In Bucharest, a party will be organized late in the night where public and researchers will be able to wear costumes inspired from the event. A science flash mob organized in the month of the event in the cities involved will create a bigger impact than in the previous years. The logo of the previous years will be maintained as a theme in order to create a link with previous years and awareness of the European and national dimension of the event.

Olsztyn is located in Warmia and Mazury, a land of unique landscape and nature values, which should be particularly involved in building ecological awareness and environmental protection. The region, called The Land of One Thousand Lakes, is a part of European nature heritage. That is why the main aims of this year Researchers’ Night are: dissemination of science, researcher’s career and bringing researchers closer to people (through informational, educational and artistic activities) but also eco-education (through science, art and entertainment). Due to various interactive forms of communication, around 30,000 inhabitants of Olsztyn, the region and Poland will benefit from the project. During the Night there will be a series of educational experiments, eco- and research-awareness campaigns, astronomical shows and experiments, quizzes, workshops, a field game and lectures with an emphasis on natural science. A European aspect of the events will be present in competitions and in three European corners. Some events (e.g. a concert, open air shows and flight simulators) are supposed to attract the biggest possible audience. Diversified awareness campaign will be monitored and revised on ongoing basis in order to reach as many recipients as possible, which will be achieved through cooperation with media and partners, quizzes and competitions with prizes, Internet, promotional and advertising activities and social networking websites. This action will be intensified during The 10. Olsztyn Days of Science and Art (September 26-28) and the Regional Olsztyn Autumn Agriculture Fair in September 2012. The highlight of the events will be the Researchers’ Night in 2 main locations in Olsztyn (called SKY and EARTH ZONE). The events will be broadcast online in the project website and in media. These broadcasts will be preserved and accessible online after the end of the GREEN NIGHT. The project is prepared and conducted by the University of Warmia and Mazury and its partners.

The overall objective of this project is the creation of an ITN network for the structured interdisciplinary training of researchers in advanced thin film photovoltaic (PV) technologies. The project proposes the development of new technologies compatible with the cost, efficiency, sustainability and mass production requirements that are needed to become a reliable and future alternative to conventional non renewable energy sources. With this objective in mind, the project will focus on the development of kesterite based solar cells. Kesterites are quaternary compounds with a crystalline structure very similar to that of chalcopyrites (CIGS: Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2). They have a strong potential for thin film low cost PV technologies, related to their direct bandgap and high optical absorption. In contrast with CIGS -where the potential for high mass production is compromised by the scarcity of In- they are constituted by abundant elements. For this, a consortium formed by research institutes, universities and companies with strongly complementary expertises has been formed. This includes groups that are leaders on the development of kesterite cells (Univ. Northumbria, HZB, Univ. Luxembourg) with groups with strong expertise on CIGS technologies (that are the parent technologies for kesterite solar cells) (EMPA, UU-ASC, NEXCIS, IREC, Free Univ. Berlin, Univ. d'Aix-Marseille, Autonomous Univ. Madrid). Free Univ. Berlin has also significant experience in the crystalline analysis of kesterites. Involvement of private companies (NEXCIS, Abengoa) devoted to the production and exploitation of PV technologies provides with complementary training aspects related to transferability of processes to industrial production and exploitation issues. All these aspects are relevant for the definition of a structured interdisciplinary training programme for the formation of high level researchers that will be required in Europe for the development of competitive PV technologies.

What kind of scientific solutions will form our everyday life? What role do researchers play in influencing our future? The main objective of “Researchers for the Future” is to overcome and change the prevailing stereotypes about researchers and contribute to the enhancement of their public recognition by showing how they shape our future. We would like to present how researchers help us to face our common responsibilities and possibilities of the future and to attract our attention to their work. We also intend to address the future generation and show the attractiveness of research career. Therefore, we focus on the target group from the age of 10 to 18, but we aim to address all age groups with attractive programmes. The series of events at 10 locations will focus on the Researcher through his/her career and on research in/for the future. The public will be “edutained” during the Night: scientific presentations will be mixed with entertaining elements. There is going to be e.g. a Scientific Show, exhibition of researchers’ hobbies, a theatre play, Matrix, Spaceman exam and HiTech Pub. The target audience can thus discover that the life of the researcher is fascinating, cool and attractive. Our objective is to have around 12,000 visitors at the events, but a multiple of that number (around 500,000) will see, hear or read about the Night. We are planning to raise awareness of the European engagement in R&D&I. In the European corner and at each venue related programmes of the European Union will be visible. The structure of the consortium (stakeholders from academia and industry, from non-profit and for-profit organisations, with the contributing participation of schools, a cluster, a multinational company and a media partner) will guarantee the success of the project.

The Researcher's Gallery: Where Science meets Culture and Citizens” (“SciCultureCitizens” ) event is a triade that defends the ideals of Sustainability, History and Tradition through a bold combination of Science and Culture. And what better way to bring RN 2012 Edition to a place where art, science and technology meet and blend, which is Guimarães in Portugal, the 2012 European Capital of Culture (ECoC). In 2012, Guimarães will be hosting a major gathering of creators and creations: music, cinema, photography, architecture, theatre and dance. The 2012 event in Guimarães will celebrate the relation between science, humanities, and the fine arts. With an impressive selection of scientific, musical, artistic and cinematic events, the “SciCultureCitizens” event will allow the public at large to explore how science outlines culture and how theatre, music and art engage with science. This event will bring researchers and research institutions closer to the public, enhancing their role in the mainstream of society and combining activities organized that will focus on the public at large, with researchers being actively involved and directly in contact with the public. The purpose of this initiative is to prove that scientists are “ordinary” people and like us share the same concerns and passions. The programme of activities includes a balanced combination of science-linked activities and culturally festive ones intended to celebrate the fun of science, performing shows, magic experiences, cinematographic experiences and of course, The Researcher´s Gallery: exciting experiments, workshops, exhibitions and hands-on activities. The RN passed from an unknown event to a nationally recognized event in Portugal, especially due to the success achieved with the last editions coordinated by INOVA+. Benefiting from its privileged know-how, its experienced team and a relevant group of key cooperating bodies, INOVA+ is ideally situated to organise the 2012 RN edition in Portugal.

Science Goes Social in Turku, the oldest university town in Finland, with an entertaining scientific programme demonstrating the presence of science in everyday life – and envisioning the future, or, Turku Tomorrow . It will remind of the immediate everyday encounters with science through basic demonstrations e.g. in health, virology and hygiene – and explore the more constitutive elements of the human experience such as genetics, ethics, even love. TurkuTomorrow is designed around a grand event held at the brand new cultural centre Logomo. The Awareness Campaign utilises social media in introducing 30 nominated researchers, personally and unmediated. They are presented with individual personal histories and ordinary lives, yet standing out from the crowd in communicating that what they want to learn and what they are able to discover will effectively determine our future. The aim of this personal approach is to provide to a simple, low-threshold channel to mobilise the public to take an interest in matters which the average person normally considers distant, too abstract or the property of experts. The project Facebook page serves as a public opinion forum, where science is made political: it encourages everyone to take a stand on issues related to the ethics and the future of research. Turku Tomorrow offers an experience for all senses: each research station at Logomo is an opportunity to participate personally in experiments, competitions, discussions, and performances. Based on the Awareness Campaign, the Night presents Scholastic debates in the Late Antiquity style, addressing the concerns and dilemmas put to the researchers by the public. All participating researchers will be invited in advance to innovate Weak Signals from their respective fields of expertise. The results are turned into a futuristic main event, the ”Futures Market for Weak Signals”, which is a collective visual picture of something new emerging in each research field in Turku.

With the use of more advanced, but difficult-to-cut materials, on ever-more sophisticated products, the need to further develop and utilise the particular capabilities of the energy beam (EB) processing techniques seem to become a key enabler for the European industry. Although they are of various nature, a set of key communalities can be identified among EB methods when considered as dwell-time dependent processes; this allows the treatment of EB processes under a unitary technology umbrella. In this context, and based on a multidisciplinary pool of knowledge, the STEEP ITN aims to establish a European research training platform to enable a holistic approach of the EB processing methods. A number of 28 academic/research and industry partners with multidisciplinary & complementary expertise will set the first common European training programme that will take the technology from the modelling & validation of its key aspects (i.e. beam footprint) to the development of simulation tools (i.e. beam path simulator) and the demonstration (e.g. on various EB workstations) by generating freeform surfaces. This wide breath of topics will be the vehicle to train European researchers in complementary (e.g. maths – material processing – computing – machine simulation/control) areas and environments (academic, industrial) of EB processes so that a sustainable evolution of this group of technologies is achieved.

The “FuLL-Science (have fun with science, love science, and live science)” Project aims at ensuring the understanding of science and technology by the society offering innovative scientific and technological learning opportunities such as seminars, demonstrations, panels, competitions etc. from elementary education level to Adult education level as well as the people who drop out education. The FuLL-Science project is confident to reach this aim by promoting the following actions: The first approach (Have fun with science) is to help participants “have fun” with science. We plan to organize various activities, such as games, animations, entertainments, workshops, plays, theatres, music, dance, etc. that meet the participants in all ages with the amusement in science. We want to illustrate how science is enjoyable by a mix between science and art, theatre, and literature. The second approach (Love science) is to introduce the participants with the “love” part of the science, which we conceive as how scientists fell in love with science, and thanks to this love how they become productive in their respective fields and how scientists are ordinary people who are also have hobbies. That is, we would like to help the participants to recognize the scientists and their work by presenting them opportunities to meet with scientists and their studies. The third approach (Live science) is to assist the participants be acquainted with how they “live” science in their daily life. For example, we will present them opportunities to see how science is in our life, to experience the science in daily life by hands-on and minds-on activities, and to shape their view of science as a way of knowing. The participants will also realize the scientific developments in various fields by meeting and discussing with scientists. This action provides strong scientist guidance to assist in removing possible obstacles and to build up confidence that the Scientists are regular people like us.
