With two governmental offices supporting, all universities and the main leading colleges in Israel taking part, Researchers' Night 2011 event expected to be a great success and to fulfill its objectives. Read on... Israel`s Researchers' Night (IRN) has been a highly successful national science project. Every year, many people attend the event and numerous institutions want to partner on an event that has become a sort of informal Researchers' National Day. Moreover, the partnership on Researchers' Night in Israel has turned the IRN consortium into a much larger and stronger community science education body, which has begun to take on additional joint actions in the field of science orientation. In 2011 we plan to expand emphasis on academic research and its implementation in industry, at the encounter with "scientists as ordinary people like us". Four additional academic institutions will run activities in 2011. The Open University (OUI), Sami Shamoon Collage (SCE) and Haifa University (HAIFAU) which will join us for the first time and will also finance the activities using own funds, Bar-Ilan university which was responsible for WP3 but on 2011 will run activities during the night instead. Ort Braude College which hosted some successful activities last year will join us this year as well using own funds for 2011 activities. We believe that with almost no budget expand, these newly added institutions, yielding a greater number and range of participating scientists, will contribute to the attractiveness of the event and appeal to Israelis of all ages, backgrounds and geographic locations, who will come to meet researchers face-to-face. We will cover geographically the entire country, with many event locations (science-café and round-tables) outside the campuses, where the public and researchers will have a chance to converse at eye level. The 2011 event will focus on Chemistry in line with UNESCO's International Year of Chemistry (2011)

The project concept is based on results of previous public opinion surveys, and the wish of people Researchers Night to become a regular event in their city, where they can interact with researchers and entertain. The main goal is to enhance public recognition of researchers and their role in society and economy, to encourage young people in Bulgaria to embark on scientific career. Main objectives: -disclose talents and hidden sides of life and work of researchers, and change existing stereotypes about researchers and their profession -raise awareness on the central role of researchers and their contributions to economy and society -highlight EU emphasis on researchers and opportunities for them in the large European labour market -make science and research career attractive for young people, and especially women The target audience will be, first, young people – children, teen-agers, students, and second, their parents and the public at large, including industrial and non-governmental organisations. The activities will take place in largest Bulgarian cities – Sofia, Varna, Plovdiv, Rousse, Burgas and Stara Zagora, where researchers will meet people in universities, Cabinets of Curiosity, scientific cafés, Knowledge Transfer Kiosks, Innovation Fair, amuse them with verses, music life performances, experiments. European corner will inform about Marie Curie, Ernest Rutherford, EURAXESS, activities of FP7 People programme, success stories. The Communications strategy will convey two important messages: ‘European Researchers discover the micro world’ and ‘Research is a passion for a whole life’. It will also look for synergy with the International Year of Chemistry, 100 anniversary of Nobel prize of Maria Curie and creation of atom model by Ruddurford, and contributions of women to science. Consortium capacity is shown already at previous Researchers Nights, and within partners’ collaboration in supporting researchers’ career, mobility and innovation.

The adaptivity of natural systems is mostly controlled by shifting dynamic supramolecular equilibria or supramolecular recognition based on changes in the environmental conditions. In many adaptive processes, proteins, folded natural polymers, play a vital role to transfer the recognition of a change in environmental conditions into a macroscopic response event. Therefore, the combination of supramolecular chemistry, i.e. the use of non-covalent interactions to self-assemble molecules into larger structures, and polymer chemistry, i.e. covalent linkage of small building blocks to construct large macromolecules, is of utmost importance to develop novel synthetic adaptive materials, only achievable by joining these two disciplines. The proposed research program on adaptive materials will focus on the following three topics: • Hierarchical supramolecular materials • Supramolecular self-healing materials • Smart nanoparticles Despite the different directions and aims of these three research directions, there will a strong joint basis, namely the combination of defined polymer building blocks and site-specific polymer functionalization with supramolecular moieties. This mutual synthetic approach will facilitate strong interactions between the researchers, which are envisioned to stimulate creativity leading to innovative concepts.

The Researchers' Night in Estonia has already became a national-wide celebration. During previous five events 2006-2010, more than 70.000 visitors have been attending the local RN events in many cities of the country and more than 400.000 people were watching the events by National TV live broadcast. This is quite a remarkable number in comparison with the number of the inhabitants in Estonia (all together just 1.3 M). The idea of the project is to introduce the researchers' profession as interesting, colorful and quite in reach possibility for youngsters - and at the same time to demonstrate the broad European dimension of the project and other cooperative FP7 activities (European Corner).

Researchers’ Night for the fifth time in Poznan! You cannot miss it! Come and meet once again with our fantastic researchers. Let’s gather on the Night of 23 rd September 2011 and create together GREATNIGHT! Become a researcher and construct DNA helix, create science – oriented film, feed an artificial cow. Construct your own computer and check if it works. Become convinced that our researchers are not so serious – they can laugh and tell funny jokes. Feel like dancing or singing? Come and sing karaoke songs with researchers. And at the end dress up like a famous scientist and dance with our researchers cha-cha or jive. These are only some of many attractions that wait for you to reveal your passion for science and convince you that researchers are just ordinary people. GREATNIGHT is a continuation of the Researchers’ Night projects of the past four years, which were highly successful. These events became an important element of promoting Poznan researchers’ image. The project builds on last years’ experiences and aims at enhancing further public recognition of researchers and their work by bringing researchers closer to the public at large, underlying their important contribution to the daily life and well being of the European citizens. This year, we will offer more activities thanks to a greater space and more fun elements. As the 2011 year was announced the year of Marie Curie we want to emphasise the role of women in research. Special campaign encouraging girls to choose research career will be introduced. During the Night several events related to Marie Curie will be organised under common theme: CURIE event. Our researchers will be the stars of the Night, playing roles of guides, animators but also common people living next door. A blend of different activities: hands-on experiments, interactive games and fun – all in a joyful atmosphere will create unforgettable event for the public at large surely competing with other Friday-night attractions.

With the run-up to the Olympics in London starting in September 2011, this is a unique moment to celebrate European research in the shadow of the main Olympic stadium. Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL) will use this opportunity to showcase the innovative, exciting ways in which European and UK funded research makes a difference to our health and well-being and to our heritage, culture and society. The Research Olympics builds on our long experience of bringing our work to a wide audience and in ensuring respect and understanding for the researchers involved. Our contribution to this year’s European Researchers’ night is designed to have a high impact both on the evening itself and to make a much longer term, more sustainable difference to the ways in which our local, London, UK-wide and European public audiences understand the place that research plays in their own lives. In sight of the Olympic park, the event and its associated materials will ensure a longer-term global audience for the promotion of European research. Our central aim is to enhance public recognition of European researchers and their work in an engaging and exciting manner. Our experience indicates that while we can expect about 4,000 visitors on the night itself, our pre and post-dissemination materials will reach a substantial international target audience interested in the London Olympics and associated activities.

The Researchers' Night coincides from the very start with the Norwegian Science Week, “Forskningsdagene” (23th Sept– 2rd Oct 2011) of which it constitutes a particular momentum. The Research Council of Norway has successfully organised the Norwegian RN-project for the last six years, with events provided locally by subcontractors from the “Forskningsdagene” network selected after competition. This allows both events to benefit from synergies and complementarities, in particular regarding public awareness. The aim for this proposal is to continue the previous successes. “Forskningsdagene” is national, annual and well established. The events are well covered by media. The activities will take place from north to south in a total of 13 events in 10 locations. They will reach broad target groups and maintain an enjoyable and attractive range of activities that includes two Researchers’ Idol competitions, four open Science Centres, four large youth gatherings, a night at the aquarium, informal talks, and ”hands-on” experiments, - all featuring ”real science”. Four European corner events will be set up. The RCN expects that the events will all contribute to improve public and political understanding of what researchers do, and that the researchers are of utmost importance for creating the knowledge base needed to facilitate innovation and sustainable, global competitive industry in high-cost Europe. Researchers will be “de-mystified", their passion and fascination for research will be demonstrated in settings allowing direct involvement of the public. The awareness campaigns with advertisements, material distributed, and media coverage were found to reach an estimated 32.9 mill and 6.4 mill people, respectively in 2010. In our population of 4.9 mill people, this is outstanding. The events in 2011 are chosen with potential audience in mind (expected number 6500). A public survey to measure the average public’s perception of researchers and research will be carried out.

Raising public awareness and interest for science and research still requires continuous and dedicated work. People usually react curious and excited about themes that are strange and unknown to them. Provoking curiosity seems to be a good starting point to an exploration into the hardly-known world of research and its activities to enhance public recognition at the Researchers Night. A university invites the public to enter its portals and experience the world of research, where fitness is a key to success. Fitness is much more than just leotards and exercise bikes. As Charles Darwin pointed out fitness in evolutionary terms is not just about physical strength, but the power to adapt. The dinosaurs died out, the mouse survived. The conclusion is clear – innovative research and adaptive technology are a crucial not just to the survival of a university, but also to society as a whole. This message is important in Austria. A recent survey has shown, Austria has the lowest level of public support for research and the greatest number of technophobes of any EU country. Consequently the main goal of the Researchers Night has to be bringing science to an audience as large as possible who usually don’t have direct access to research areas and giving them the opportunity to interact with different fields of research during the night. Therefore it is also important to focus at teens and youth adults to encourage them to consider a study in/ carrier in the field of research and innovation. The Researchers Night will be hosted at the campus of St. Poelten University of Applied Sciences. The visitors will experience the full power of live interactive and all media production fitting for such an occasion according to the main theme of the event, “FIT for Research”. A performance fit for the stage, fit for the history books and therefore fit for the future.
