The R3searchers proposal consists of three events on the 28th September 2007, which will gather more than 5.000 people, organised by 3 public universities in Spain: in Barcelona (Catalonia), Girona (Catalonia), and San Sebastian (Basque Country). The main objective of the project is to enhance the recognition of researchers and their role in society, by offering to the public a unique insight into the triple facets of researchers: as scientists, as teachers and as common people. R3searchers focuses on letting the public to discover that university professors are hidden researchers among us. The specific objectives addressed will be to bring researchers closer to the large public, present researchers as “common people” to which the public can identify with and convince young people to embark scientific careers. The events will implemented throgh 3 different types of activities, located in strategic and attractive places, showing the triple facets of university researchers. These activities will allow the public the opportunity to interact with the different actors of the knowledge society in an informal, pleasant and enjoyable way: 1.Learning from researchers: A group of researchers will explain the content of their research tasks and its relevance for the society’s needs, mentioning their personal motivations. 2.Experiencing research: researchers will make hands-on demonstrations with direct participation of beneficiaries of EU support and involved in the exploitation of FP projects. 3.Playing with “reSEARCHers": The public will join the researchers for a festive final part of the event, where diverse actions will take place, from games and music to theatre. A drawing exhibition of the previously held drawing competition will be set-up in every location. A further drawings analysis and a survey through the website wwill be used to tackle the existing stereotypes about researchers and have a reliable assessment of the project activities.

Researchers’ Night in Sweden, ForskarFredag, FF (Research Friday) will consist of events taking place in nine towns and cities throughout Sweden on 28th September 2007. FF will be coordinated by Vetenskap & Allmänhet, VA. Participants include universities, science discovery centres, a regional council, a competence development agency and the Swedish Research Council. The project is facilitated by the participants’ extensive links with industry and academia. The primary objective of FF is to provide a forum for the public and researchers to meet and communicate face-to-face. Innovative and original hands-on activities in informal and festive environments will be arranged at each FF event. The aim is for fun, relaxed actions and engaging dialogues that will attract the broad public, especially those not specifically interested in research. The importance of international cooperation will be emphasised, thus giving a sense of Sweden as part of the European scientific community, and explaining how this benefits us all. The impact on the public at large will be significant since the number of visitors is estimated to be at least 8 900. Those unable to attend the venues will be able to follow some of the activities through a web cast. Live media reports and news items are also expected to cover the day’s events. Furthermore, children aged 6-18 will be invited to take part in a national drawing competition. Local event schemes will vary, but all will have a common message: research is fun and exciting and influences everyone’s day-to-day life. To ensure maximum visibility, an awareness strategy will be implemented. Unanimous objectives, similarity of contents as well as a website providing all the necessary information will be common denominators of FF. In short, FF will entertain the public and deliver the message that researchers are among us throughout Europe.

The main objective of ReN2007 project is to promote public recognition of researchers and their profession and bring them closer to the Greek society. The project also aims to stimulate young people to embark on scientific careers and to enhance the attractiveness of Europe as host territory for researchers. The target group for this activity is large public in Greece. Nevertheless, different subcategories like kids, teenagers, young people, adults, teachers, parents, “ordinary people”, researchers, entrepreneurs, politicians are to be reached as parts of the general public. To achieve the afore mentioned objectives the following activities will be carried out: 1. Three big events with a festive character will be organized at the night of 28 September 2007 in 3 Greek cities. 2. Upgrade the existing ReN2006 portal for the needs of ReN2007. 3. Evaluation of project results by collecting questionnaires before and during the ReN2007 events. 4. Dissemination of project results. 5. Drawing competition addressed to students of secondary schools. The duration of the project will be 6 months. During the first 3 months an awareness campaign will be organized. During the last 3 months the dissemination of project results, the follow up and the evaluation of the 3 events will take place. The success and attractiveness of the 3 events will be measured as well. All the 4 partners are members of ERA-MORE network, participated in 2005-2006 Researchers’ Night. The expected results are summarized as follows: • Contribution in structuring a public recognition of researchers in Greek society. Promotion of better understanding among the general public that researchers are a “normal category of population”. • Attraction of young people in professions related to new sciences and technologies. • Create synergies with other relative European initiatives, like ERA-MORE Network • Continuation of the 2005-2006 initiatives in national level and enhancement of so the far impact.

By submitting a proposal for the first Researchers’ Night in Switzerland, ‘lakeside zurich' intends to create a new platform to foster and deepen public dialogue on European research. The implementation of a Researchers’ Night in Switzerland is of crucial importance to the research area Switzerland. It displays European integration and is meant to raise the social and professional recognition of international researchers working in Switzerland. “lakeside zurich” will challenge and accomplish this ambitious goal. “lakeside zurich” will take place at three central locations in downtown Zurich. The sites of the event are located around the main recreation and amusement centre and can easily be reached by public transportation. A boat leaving every 15 minutes will transport passengers to and from the three fairgrounds. During the trip, scientists and artists will entertain the ferry guests. The opening is scheduled for 6pm. 10’000 visitors are expected . The aim of the event is to provide researchers, who have benefited from EU support, the possibility to present and promote their exceptional ideas to civilians with different backgrounds and of all age groups in a festive atmosphere. A series of science shows, a bar-lounge with a DJ, interactive consoles and live broadcasts to other Researchers’ Nights are planned for “lakeside zurich”. Visitors will learn that top researchers are living and working amongst them and enjoy exchanging thoughts and laughs on a Friday night like everybody else. The project’s concept, plans and implementation are to be carried out by members of ETH Zurich Corporate Communications (CC) and Euresearch Zurich (EUZUR). The two teams combine their knowledge and professional skills to organise a Researchers Night: EUZUR as the regional support office for European Research and mobility centre in the region. CC will provide their know-how of design, organisational skills and promotion of a large scale event to a mass audience.

For the third issue of the « Researchers’ night », five partners from the North and East of France decided to work together in order to offer their scientific and human richness to a large territory. Thus researchers will be in the heart of the events that will be organised during the night of the Friday 28th of September in five large French cities: Besançon, Dijon, Lille, Mulhouse and Strasbourg. The international Polar year was chosen as a main theme for the events programmed in the North-East of France. These five events will have various forms: a polar station with numerous workshops built in the core of the city, special night guided tours in museums, evening of ice sliding, dancing in a synthetic igloo, food sampling, discussion meetings between researchers and public on the image and the role of the researcher in society, meetings in unusual places like an ice rink, giant igloo or historical monuments... By involving researchers in all these events we want the general public to be confronted with a more human face of the researcher and make it realise that scientists are people like them who can share the same interests. A special attention will be put on young public. For instance, each city will participate to the European drawing contest and will organise its own regional awards during the night. The European dimension of research will be particularly underline by having researchers from various European countries – some of them having received European funds – to participate to the various events in the different cities. Last but not least, the communication tools used for all this events will be homogeneous, as a common graphic charter will be agreed on between all the partners involved. This will include one common national bookmark and website. This national communication will be reinforced by specific regional communication by the coordinator and local communication by each city.

The excellence research platform of the University of Vienna VIAS -Vienna Institute for Archaeological Science proposes the CelticNight, an on-site presentation of state-of-the-art interdisciplinary archaeological research and archaeological science on a 15 ha Celtic pre-urban site south of Vienna. The site provides an on-going international excavation using latest 3D laser scanners for complete digital documentation, a reconstructed part of the Celtic town integrated in a new archaeological park co-funded by the EC, an exhibition tower and a festival site with all infra-structure needed for mass events. Previous experience (10 years Celtic open-air festivals combining archaeology and music, the archaeological park, special children and family programs) proved to attract up to 8500 people per weekend. We intend to setup up a living archaeology experience for the audience, providing a research path integrating an excavation show-case, a field laboratory presenting Archaeological Science, experimental workshops focussing on Celtic production processes from rawmaterial to tools in action, a re-enactment of Celtic daily live in the reconstructed buildings, a movie stage presenting broadcasts and documentaries of previous on-site research ending up in the Celtovation music festival presenting bands performing music with Celtic roots. VIAS intends to present Archaeological Research and Science bringing together about 70 archaeologists, scientists, communal representatives, regional management and SME´s on one of the most important Celtic archaeological sites in Eastern Austria to popularise living archaeology. The planned activities will provide an additional impact on tourism and local economy, enforcing the importance of research and science for cultural tourism as a future concept for regional development.

There is a recent observational evidence that some young very low mass objects exhibit a strong photometric variability. The origin of this variability is mysterious and various scenarios such as an ongoing magnetospheric accretion or eclipses by planetary companions are possible. The aim of this proposal is to search for any associated spectroscopic variability of these objects. This will enable us to classify the objects, confirm/refute their brown dwarf status, determine their basic properties (temperatures, radii, masses, ages), distinguish between various scenarios, explore other alternatives, and ultimately reveal the true nature of this variability. The project will verify if the magnetospheric accretion works in such objects and put the constraints on the duration of the accretion phase. Alternatively, it may lead to a discovery of unique low mass binary systems or transiting extrasolar planets. The researcher also aims to perform computer simulations and study the synthetic light-curves and spectra of accreting brown dwarfs as well as the synthetic lightcurves, spectra and transit radius spectra of the extrasolar planets. It is hoped that, by comparing these simulations with the existing and future observations, new species will be identified in the atmospheres of the extrasolar planets. For this purpose, the researcher will create a new version of the computer code SHELLSPEC and will make it available to the astronomical community on the web with the complete documentation.

Amsterdam, Friday September 28, 2007. Fifteen hundred young scientists, creative minds, students and other young trend setters from Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands are having a great time at Discovery 07, a good party including food for thought. From 8 pm to 3 am they enjoy a lot of new music, fascinating science and art, the latest technologies and ideas of visionary members of their own generation. Talking, drinking and dancing; having sparkling cocktails and ditto conversations. Enjoying Pechakucha, performing artists, top DJ's and VJ's, a crazy quiz show in which visitors compete against 'maths babes', live scientific experiments – you can, for example, have your brain scanned in response to various stimuli and much more. And if you want to share your thoughts or hear some more about something, a lot of nice Very Disco scientists, artists and likeminded young people will be around, having conversations about almost anything you may possibly think of. Discovery 07 is a nighttime event, organised by young scientists and likeminded others. It is organised to improve the image of scientists by showing young, contagiously enthusiast scientists to the public, and to prove that cool science is just as much Friday night fun as is cool art, new music and nice people. Discovery 07 is a follow-up to the sold out but not professional and scientific enough Discovery 06, which was sponsored by the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Platform Bèta Techniek, Shell, IBM, Dell a.o. This year, sponsor talks are in progress; for the content and promotion of the event Very Disco cooperates with the Royal Academy, Platform Bèta Techniek, PhD Network Netherlands, GeNeYouS, various universities, networks, and industry. Discovery 07 has 1500 visitors, but will generate broad public attention through national tv, newspapers and other media, just as Discovery 06 did.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. It is therefore in the focus of approaches for the identification of predictive molecular biomarkers. In contrast to transcriptomics, the changes in metabolite levels that are associated with tumor development and progression have not been investigated to a great extent, so far. Metabolomics is defined as the study of all metabolites in a cell, tissue or organism, and the metabolome is regarded as the amplified output of a biological system. The originality of the METAcancer approach will be the first-time application of combined technologies for metabolic profiling to large-scale analysis of patient samples in the field of translational research in breast cancer. We will test the hypothesis that alterations in the level of metabolites can be used for a molecular classification of breast cancer and for identification of new prognostic and predictive biomarkers. Our project is based on a large tumor biobank as well as on previous investigations of the consortium partners. We will use three different metabolic profiling technologies (GC-MS, NMR and LC-MS) to maximize the coverage of the breast cancer metabolome and apply advanced strategies for identification of individual metabolites. METAcancer’s integrated data-mining approach combines metabolomic data gained under the project with existing transcriptomic data pools for bioinformatic interpretation of cellular networks. By this strategy we will be able to go beyond the metabolite level and to identify and validate selected protein and mRNA biomarkers relevant for metabolic alterations. This will result in a combined signature consisting of metabolites as well as key protein and mRNA markers as a basis for a validated diagnostic system to assess prognosis and to guide targeted therapies in breast cancer.
