The activities will increase DOT-KTU’s strength and visibility in the most advanced topics of organic technology: A) Electroactive low-molar-mass materials for OLAE technologies and B) Polymeric and dendritic materials for OLAE technologies. Central to the activities are twinning partnerships with five specialist research organisations: Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, University of Cergy-Pontoise, Technische Universität Dresden and Novaled AG. DOT-KTU will increase its human potential by hiring experienced researchers, an IP Manager and an Innovation Manager and organising know-how exchanges and trainings for existing and new staff with twinning partners. DOT-KTU will increase its technology potential by upgrading and purchasing new equipment including an FTIR ATR spectrometer, differential photocalorimeter, liquid chromatography system, dielectric spectrometer and photoelectron spectrometer. To ensure its research quality and innovation capability, DOT-KTU will be ex-post evaluated by a team of international, independent experts.

Functional foods, nutraceuticals, and natural health products (NHP) represent one of the fastest growing areas of research and development leading to novel products intended for disease prevention and health promotion beyond basic nutrition. In brief, functional foods have health-enhancing properties in addition to normal nutritional benefits. Nutraceuticals are made from food but are sold in pill, powder or medicinal forms, and have medical qualities. NHP not only include nutraceuticals, but encompass herbal and other natural products. The objectives of this proposal are (1) to improve research potential of existing functional foods, nutraceuticals, and NHP research laboratory (herein referred to as the NutraHEALTH) within Food Institute, (2) to coordinate networking and co-operative activities in this fostering field through a number of scientific and technical events, and (3) to integrate FP7 projects. Specifically, the NutraHEALTH intends to improve its research potential in this field. The approach for accomplishing the project objective is multi-disciplinary, which includes the following work packages: project management, improving infrastructure, supporting research potential of human resources, organising scientific events and networking, participating scientific events, communication and dissemination, technical-site visit, and exchange of researchers. The NutraHEALTH is interested in ensuring the maximum benefit from these well-planned activities. Existing NutraHEALTHCentre’s infrastructure will be improved together with human research potential. The knowledge and capabilities of the NutraHEALTH’s research will be enhanced with conference, seminars, open-&info days, brokerage events, and exchange of researchers. Strategic networks and collaboration with experienced research centres and universities among Turkey and EU countries will be developed. More importantly, the centre will facilitate the participation in FP7 projects by the achievement of this proposal.

The main aim of GlowBrain is to unlock the existing research potential of University of Zagreb School of Medicine and respond to an emerging need for combined stem cells and biomaterials applications in brain repair. The already existing platform for mouse brain research is currently involved in research of molecular mechanisms underlying brain damage and repair. It includes the expertise and equipment to assess the brain at system (behavioral analysis, neuroanatomy and neurodevelopment), cellular (microscopy and in vitro techniques) and molecular levels (molecular biology techniques). Through analysis of transgenic mouse models this is combined with competence to introduce the experimental brain damage in form of ischemic injury (MCAO), seizures or stereotaxic lesions. Here we propose an innovative upgrade of existing facilities to enable simultaneous application of stem cells and biomaterials with the goal to enhance beneficial effects of stem cell therapy. By extending the platform with components for in vivo molecular imaging using bioluminescence and magnetic resonance, the insight in the underlying molecular mechanisms of stem cells and biomaterials applications would be achieved. Innovative multimodal combination of bioluminescent imaging (BLI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the upgraded platform would enable to follow in real time, in living animals the molecular events in the mouse brain and fine tune consequences and efficiency of stem cell therapies. Together with already existing excellence in neuroscience research, the upgrade would result in a novel and complementary asset to leading European capacities. Unlocking the research potential of University of Zagreb by assembling a unique platform at European Research Area level would have a high impact for the future cell therapies of the brain diseases. The leading edge research would boost innovations in regenerative medicine field and sustain the upgraded facility in the future.

Light’12 is conceived as an event driving a cultural change about researchers for the benefit of research-end users. Light’12 will take place in Rome, the capital of the country, and in 4 additional locations in the South of Italy thus covering large part of the country. Light’12 will last from 5.p.m. on 28 September to 1.a.m on 29 September. Light is celebrating its 5th year of life. As in previous editions, we dedicate the RN to a specific theme. This year Light’12 is dedicated to: “Science on breaking news” in order to show that real scientists may be as interesting and attracting as those proposed by TV news. We will use news broadcasted by TV as a springboard for dialogue with the public in order to improve the image of scientists. In order to ignite people’s curiosity towards scientists’ work, Light’12 will set-up a number of actions/events during the whole RN. The actions will be run in continuation in all the locations allowing visitors to freely pass from one area to the other without waiting for something to happen. The activities will be organised around 6 main areas: o Hands-on workshops with live demonstrations and hands-on experiments; o “Big ideas from young minds” area, where potential tomorrow's scientists will present their special achievements; o 4kids activities for children; o “Globe Science Theatre” where groups of artists/sportsmen that have at least one member of the performing team actively engaged with scientific research will be on stage during the whole RN; o Outside activities on sports and music o European Corner with Marie Curie research and training networks’ teams witnessing and answering public demands.

EnTeC aspires to enhance the R&D potential of the Institute of Nuclear & Radiological Sciences & Technology, Energy & Safety (INRaSTES) of NCSRD, Greece, by establishing a research infrastructure for Environmental Technology and Climate Research in the field of atmospheric pollution and climate change assessment of the Southeast European region. The institute has achieved significant progress and growth but needs further support to evolve to a major R&D centre on Integrated New Environmental Technologies and Climate Research. The proposal builds on a focused Action Plan, directly aiming at strengthening the research capacity of INRaSTES for advancing its participation in environmental/climate related research activities at European, National and Regional level. Major objectives are: - Upgrade of the existing research infrastructure (recruitment of high level scientific personnel, modernization / acquisition of equipment) - Strategic partnership between INRaSTES and renowned research entities in the field of atmospheric and climate research in the ERA. - Outreaching of the INRaSTES scientific achievements / capacities to increase visibility of the work and expanding R&D collaborations; - Pursuit of long-term self-sustainability to ensure financial support for the whole spectrum of the proposed R&D activities beyond EnTec. The lack of high-resolution, long-term climate data records causes a severe uncertainty about the long term effects of air pollution and establishment of global climate change effects in regional scales. Southeast Europe and the Mediterranean are areas where regional climate change is more intense and diverse than elsewhere in Europe. The foreseen EnTeC activities aim at combining complementary expertise in areas such as field measurements (monitoring/sampling of key climatic active species and parameters), analytical laboratory techniques, advanced modeling tools for climate research and cross-cutting issues of mitigation/adaptation to climate change impacts.
