Abstract The aim of the Researchers’ Night 2012 project in Serbia is to enhance public recognition of researchers and show that they are ordinary people with an extraordinary job. The AWARE III project is conceptually and strategically based on topics underlined and emphasized by the Horizon 2020 (EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation) and organised in 5+1 corners: Energy, Innovations and Ideas, Food and Water, Health and Safety, Environmentally Aware, and European corner. Each of the corner programmes will make a balanced combination of science-linked activities (demonstrations, simulations, hands-on experiments) and festive ones (games, sport, quizzes, competitions and music), while the European corner will be the all corners common integrator. Serbian Researchers’ Night 2012 – All We Are REsearchers (AWARE) III will be the crowning event culminating the very first five-day science week in Serbia. Researchers’ Night 2012 will cover an area with approximately 4 million people, half of the population in Serbia, with key points in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Zrenjanin and Subotica. The project is directly targeted at 50.000 on-site visitors in these cities, but the awareness raising campaign is aimed at more than 1.500.000 people in the same area. Common theme mirrored in the same organisational structure and topics (Horizon 2020, 5+1 corner), real time competition between the cities in producing clean energy, video link between cites, simultaneous video conference with CERN, and live TV program will secure a truly national character and visibility of the event.

Our EU Researchers’ Night will use the concept of food as an everyday commodity which is actually a fascinating and engaging research subject, breaking down barriers between cultural, age and socio-economic groups in an exciting interactive portfolio of activities. The City of Birmingham, affectionately known as “Brum” to its residents, has the second biggest population in the UK and is enormously diverse in social, economic and cultural terms. It has one of the best universities both in the UK and globally, a university which itself is enormously international in terms of students, postgraduates and staff origins, a fact which will help us to sell to young people the exciting potential mobility of research careers. The theme of ‘food’ will tie our Researchers’ Night together in two main ways – firstly through the outstanding ongoing multidisciplinary research in the area being performed by passionate and motivated researchers at the University of Birmingham; and secondly, as a universal language for the lay public across regional, national, international and cultural barriers, central to everyday life. Our night will be a multi-disciplinary research fair in the city centre, with a variety of activities for people from all walks of life to have exposure to the exciting research shaping our society. We have proposed a wide range of event types and subjects, and upon funding these will be further refined and developed through involvement and interaction of members of the public with our researchers, starting an early dialogue which opens up research to the community. We will: • Focus on interaction rather than education • Reach a diverse range of age and cultural groups • Create a toolkit and sustainable information resource to help other European cities • Highlight research careers with international mobility We intend to reach > 2 million people through our awareness campaign, expecting at least 15,000-20,000 to attend the night.

After successful Climate Nights in the last three years Climate Night Hamburg 2012 on September 28, 2012 again consists of attracting all the categories of the public at large and bring them together with climate scientists at one location. The last Climate Nights had around 30.000 visitors during each night and more than four million people reached by the awareness campaign each year. Climate Night 2012 is a further development of the three recent nights organised by the coordinator marking the continuation of a well-adopted and entertaining concept in the City of Hamburg. During the night on September 28, 2012 scientists will be the focus in all the activities organised and attendants will constantly be in direct contact with them, having the possibility of exchanging on any topic of their interest, linked or not to the job as researcher. Researchers are to be shown as ordinary people and the profession researcher as fundamental for the well-being of the society. Visitors have the chance to interact with researchers in diverse manners. The research focus in Climate Night 2012 will be put on architecture and climate change. Researchers will open their work to the public and showing aspects of their life as researchers. The new focus on architectural science is best transformed in one of the most prominent inner-city waterfront development projects in the world, the HafenCity. Therefore this district will be the major location of Climate Night Hamburg 2012. Another focus will again be put on Climate Change. A recent EU survey shows the increased public concern about Climate Change and the need for the awareness of economic benefits of action. The political discourse about nuclear power plants has also boosted the interest of the population and media in the whole area of Climate Protection, climate adaption and renewable energy. In Hamburg all those sectors are well-represented by researchers and companies with research and development departments.

SecCord provides coordination and services for the Trust and Security (T&S) research programme and its projects. There are five inter-related threads to its work plan that correspond to the project objectives. [1] Build on the current collaborations between the T&S projects, evolving the clustering activities, development of state-of-the-art ideas and knowledge, extending membership to other projects and groups with T&S needs, outreaching to legal , social and economic projects with a trust and security related interest. [2] Conducting a detailed analysis of the work of the projects, demonstrate the dividends outputs and benefits– resulting from the investment in T&S research, providing evidence of valuable and meaningful results and potential impact. [3] Provide greater visibility of T&S research programme through a high-profile annual conference and a T&S research web repository that provides a central focus and exchange for T&S research information and links; the goal is that these become a recognisable brand. Visibility and outreach will be extended by building on an already established community of interests to include relationships with industry and T&S initiatives of member states. [4] Leverage the potential and impact of T&S project results by maintaining a catalogue and showcase of results, and by interpreting and matching them against use-cases of current and foreseen market needs covering a wide spectrum of social considerations –legal, economic, and personal. [5] To provide context for the impact and visibility of the research programme, provide a strategic outlook of the emerging and developing T&S issues, challenges, requirements, and priorities, with attention given to legal, social, and economic concerns. Set up an expert Advisory focus group that includes external members to advise on key strategic issues and priorities. The Advisory focus group will consist of two sub-groups: academic focus group and industry oriented focus group

Analytical science is key for the success of any fundamental or applied research programme and underpins industrial progress and production. To achieve the next level of innovation in European research and industry we need new experimental and theoretical analytical methodologies, and new ways of applying existing techniques. Achieving this requires European analytical scientists trained to think creatively, innovatively, critically, and practically, who can apply analytical science to particular problems and transfer skills to new areas. The ESRs of CAS-IDP will each undertake a world-leading multi-disciplinary multi-sectoral analytical science research project in one of two themes, a) Predictive modeling of bacterial cell division and b) ‘Quality by Design’ of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products. Each project involves technique development and application, with integrated industrial and international secondments. We propose an IDP model, with Warwick being the hub and providing a physical centre, but with substantial contributions from 8 other universities, 9 SMEs and 3 large/multinational companies. This model will maximize cohort identity and team spirit among the 13 x 36 month ESRs for whom funding is sought. Daily contact between the ESRs will add considerable value given the varied and multi-disciplinary scientific remit of the IDP. Each ESR will be undergo individually-tailored and structured scientific training supplemented by Warwick’s unique academically accredited transferable skills programme. Our IDP will have impact at the European level given the widespread relevance of analytical science – the ESRs will be in great demand in both the private and public sectors; European industry through new instrumentation, new products, improved process performance, new academic contacts and collaborations; society through eventual improvements in healthcare and industry competitiveness, improved scientific awareness through ESRs trained in outreach.

Complex decision making in enterprises should involve mathematical optimization methods, because a “best choice” has to be made out of a huge number of feasible options. A mathematical description of such decision processes typically involves both “continuous” and “discrete” decisions. If the latter are present, the customary modelling approach is to use integer variables, which are also used to represent all possible nonlinearities, so that the remaining part of the model is linear. This leads to Mixed-Integer Linear Optimization (MILO) problems, which can be handled nowadays by many packages, but are often very difficult to solve. Difficulty of MILO problems is often due to the fact that objective functions or constraints that are structurally nonlinear (e.g., quadratic) are linearized by introducing new integer variables. In many cases, it was observed that this is not the best way to proceed, as facing the nonlinearity directly without the new variables leads to much better results. Algorithmic technology for the resulting Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Optimization (MINO) problems is still at its early stage. The present situation is that enterprises facing a MINO problem generally give up due to the lack of efficient solvers, or try to convert it to a MILO one often too hard to be solved in practice. On the other hand, in the academia there is now an increasing expertise in MINO, which is however hardly exported outside due to the lack of interaction with the industrial world. It is the purpose of this project to help satisfy the increasing demand for highly qualified researchers receiving, at the same time, a state-of-the-art scientific training from the academia and hands-on experience with real-world applications from the industry. The researchers formed within this project, once recruited by an enterprise at the end of their training, will have the potential to apply all the available knowledge to optimize complex decision making in the real-world.

Combustion instabilities represent a serious problem for combustion-driven devices, such as gas turbine engines and domestic burners. These instabilities can cause intense pressure oscillations, which in turn causes excessive structural oscillations, fatigue and even catastrophic damage to combustor hardware. In recent years, the development of clean combustion systems with reduced pollution of the environment has become a priority; however, such systems are particularly prone to combustion instabilities. There is an urgent need to understand the physical processes that are responsible so that methods to predict and prevent these instabilities can be developed. The research in TANGO is intended to address these issues. Fundamental studies will give physical insight into the three-way coupling between sound, combustion and vortices in a combustion chamber. On the applied side, TANGO will develop active and passive control methods to allow safe operation of gas turbines on a variety of fuels and operating conditions. TANGO is a multi-disciplinary project that provides training for 14 ESRs and 1 ER in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, mechanical and control engineering, all from an analytical, numerical and experimental perspective. The consortium has been chosen so as to bring together complementary skills from internationally renowned experts from both academia and industry. The "icing on the cake" of this large engineering project is the number of female scientists involved: 5 out of the 9 scientists in charge are women. It is expected that this will act as a magnet for young women who are considering a career in science or engineering. The network thus addresses the EU policy of increasing the number of female researchers in Europe. In order to promote the public understanding of science, the researchers will engage in various outreach activities.

SPINICUR (from spin currents) is a training network of European experts dedicated to providing state-of-the-art education and training for early stage and experienced researchers. We have concentrated on an aspect of spintronics – pure spin currents – and specific technical goals in order to secure a very high level of industrial involvement and strong network connectivity through a sharp focus. The overarching objective of this network is to significantly enhance the employment prospects of 11 ESRs and 4 ERs by: (a) choosing a scientific subject that has high impact and is close to exploitation, (b) ensuring that all researchers receive complementary skills training that is relevant to industry and academia, (c) providing projects in world-leading laboratories, with world-class personnel and collaborating with industrial giants (IBM, Hitachi and Siemens), and (d) ensuring that all the researchers spend a secondment with our industrial partners. At the present time only about 10% of the active researchers in this field thoroughout Europe are newly trained each year – that is barely enough to cover natural losses let alone increase our efforts. Spintronics offers the potential for logic operations that are faster and consume much lower power when compared to conventional semiconductors. Passive spintronic devices are already the basis for a multi-billion dollar industry producing read heads for hard discs and storage cells in MRAM. Alternatives to semiconductor RAM and logic are being actively sought with spintronics offering exciting possibilities such as: the Spin Hall Effect, spin pumping and the spin Seebeck effect to name a few. These pure spin currents and their fundamental understanding is the scientific objective of SPINICUR. As the culmination of this network we aim to explore the fundamentals of spin amplification in designs such as the spin-torque transistor. Thus our technical objective is to apply the knowledge gained to real devices.
