Researchers’ Night again in Poznan! You cannot miss it! Come and uncover the secrets of scientists and researchers during EURESNIGHT! Measure immeasurable and see invisible! Check what flying kites and photography have in common, become a researcher for one night and construct DNA helix, feed an artificial cow, design your own clothes or simply prepare super fluffy ice creams! 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. Feel like doing some sport? Come and play soccer with our researchers under the moonlight! 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 with an extraordinary job. EURESNIGHT is a continuation of the Researchers’ Night projects of the past five years, which were highly successful gathering last year app. 48.000 people willing to meet researchers face to face and to learn new things about their work and personal lives. The project, promoting an image of researchers, builds on last years’ experiences and aims at enhancing further public recognition of researchers and their work by bringing them closer to the public, underlying their important contribution to the daily life and well being of the European citizens. Activities organised during the Night on 28 September 2012 will be focused on public at large and will have a hassle-free and festive character, being a valid alternative to "traditional Friday night activities" while allowing learning more about researchers and research. Those activities will offer a direct contact between researchers and public, combine fun and ‘education’ elements (edutainment), try to link together Nights organised in different cities and ensure an active and direct involvement of the visitors in activities. This year, the special focus will be assigned to the role of women in research.

In the context of one of the most powerful and rich economic areas of Europe, Milan and Lombardy Region, MEETmeTONIGHT was born as an initiative of Politecnico di Milano together with the main city universities and for the first time is extended to the entire Regional territory. The project will involve 3 full partners and, as associated partners, a long and various list of public and private entities (all main Milan universities, Lombardy Region Government, Province of Milan, Municipality of Milan, foundations, associations and media partners). The concept of the overall project is to enhance the awareness among the citizens that universities, science and research represent nowadays the future of the whole society and its main actors, that is to say the Researchers, will impact with their job on competitiveness, economic growth, employment, environmental protection and in general on citizens’ daily life. Therefore it aims at: a) showing to common people the normality of the daily Researchers’ life; b) amplifying the social image of Researchers; c) opening up consciousness about the importance of a scientific career in the local, national and European context; d) launching the first Lombardy Researchers Night as a distinctive date to be attended every year, so to foster the liaison between Researchers and citizens. The practical aim of the project is to organise an outstanding evening where people will have the opportunity to meet and know the Researchers directly. MEETmeTONIGHT wants to communicate the message: “Researchers are people like you! Meet me and see what I do everyday”. The central locations of the event (in the Milan city centre) will encourage the involvement of a large number of people. Simultaneously on all Lombardy campuses of the University partners and on locations of associated partners (Como, Lecco, Ispra, Brescia, Mantova, Cremona, Pavia, Lodi) satellite events will take place.

As the City of Trier is the economic and cultural centre of the greater region, the first Researchers’ Night in Trier will take place in the City with good infrastructural connections to the neighbouring countries of Luxembourg, Belgium and France. In the Researchers´ Night, science “meets” the city of Trier and their institutions in 9 different fields: (1) culture, (2) Design, (3) Crime, (4) Economy (especially with regard to local and regional needs), (5) History, (6) Technology, (7) Ecology, (8) Health and (9) Europe. In the focus of all activities is the general public. There will be science for young and old, regardless of their scientific background. A variety of different activity types will be made available to the public: interactive, accessible and accompanied hands-on experiments, shows and demonstrations, bridges to other domains like art, literature and music, visits to unusual places and guided tours, exhibitions, “touch science” experiments, lectures presentations with common interest subjects, science cafés, presentation of researchers’ hobbies (e.g. Profs on Air), challenges with researchers, Science Slam, Childrens’ University etc. Activities during the researchers’ night will take place at various venues all over the city like museums, schools and different public squares outside. To maximize the benefit the “tracking” will allow the attendance of different events at different times. Even the time you need from A to B may be filled by special academic offers, e.g. a lecture in a public bus or an academic walk through the city. Circuits will help undecided visitors and ensure balanced participation in activities. For this reason coping with plenty should be easy to manage for all visitors. The aims of the Researchers’ night in Trier consists of continuing to tackle the existing stereotypes about researchers and the profession, to have the public at large better understand the central role of researchers and the key benefits they bring to society

As Europe and the world are faced with common global challenges, ranging from critical environmental changes to societal issues, the role of researchers becomes ever more important. From dealing with the current economic crisis to tackling changes in nature that may permanently alter our planet, it is clear that science and innovation will be critical in taking on those challenges through knowledge and creativity. In Iceland, the power of the forces of nature is very imminent in the daily lives of people, whether it is in the form of increased seismic and volcanic activity and receding glaciers, or the positive form of ample renewable energy. Icelandic researchers have gathered an enormous amount of knowledge and experience in dealing with the forces of nature. Moreover, through research, these forces have been” tamed” to create renewable energy sources for the benefit of the citizens. The main concept of the proposal is to focus on the role of researchers in the fields of sustainable energy and forces of nature, ranging from the natural sciences to the societal implications of natural disasters, and invite them to engage with the public at large. The objective is to influence a more positive public perception of researchers as persons by portraying their many facets and facilitate active dialogue between scientists and guests at Researchers’ Night.

Aim of the CAFFEIN network is to provide 10 early stage researchers (ESRs) and 2 exprerienced researchers (ERs) with excellent training in an industry relevant area of cancer research, complementary skills required for pharmaceutical industry, and knowledge in setting up biomedical start-up companies. To this end, the network comprises two full industrial partners: the established pharmaceutical company Medimmune, a global leader in immunopharmaceuticals, and the small biotech company Gimmune, which used breakthrough results in nanotechnology to establish a new enterprise. The research focus of CAFFEIN, which stands for Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAF) Function in Tumor Expansion and Invasion, is to understand the mechanisms, how fibroblastoid cells support tumor progression and metastasis formation. CAF biology is therefore rather complex, but the research groups of the CAFFEIN network cover many different aspects of it, thus having a critical mass to provide relevant training in this area. Training in complementary skills important for work in the pharmaceutical industry is provided by the industrial partner MedImmune, where communication with management, industrial project planning, IPR, etc. will be taught. Entrepreneurial skills, business plans, funding by venture capitalists, and patentability of research findings are highlights of the training provided by the industrial partner Gimmune. All this training is transmitted to the ESRs/ERs by networkwide events, secondments and tight research collaboration. Taken together, the CAFFEIN research training network combines the acquisition of excellent scientific knowledge in an area highly attractive for pharmaceutical industry with special education in relevant complementary skills that increase employment chances of the trained researchers in industry and that encourage them to translate their scientific results into products, thus improving health and economic welfare of European citizens.

Vaccines are the most cost-effective health interventions available (WHO). The impact of vaccination on the health of the world’s population cannot be overstressed. Vaccinolgy is the multidisciplinary discipline of developing vaccine interventions it combines knowledge from basic sciences, medical sciences, public health and social sciences. Ideally a vaccinologists would be able to have a general overview of all disciplines involved but at the same time be able to zoom in on it’s own discipline. There is hardly any formal training to become a vaccinologist in the world and none such training exists at a PhD level in Europe. The need for a program to train vaccinologists is apparent and recognised . The vaccine industry is a largely European based industry. Investing in the future of this industry by training the next generation vaccinologists will boost European’s economy will provide high quality employment and will sustain European’s competitiveness. Clearly there are public health and economic reasons to invest in a training program training the European vaccinologists of the future.
