RERAM responds to the societal challenge of ‘CLIMATE CHANGE, RESOURCE EFFICIENCY AND RAW MATERIALS’ in Europe’s forestry and woodworking sector. Knowledge, communication and cooperation gaps between research communities and innovation-driven industries significantly hamper progress towards sustainable use of the natural resource FOREST in the woodworking sector. The RERAM project targets the very low resource efficiency rate of the wood processing business in ENP Eastern Countries. The 12 partner consortium builds upon their previous collaboration between forerunner regions in Germany (NRW), Austria (Styria) and Ukraine (Carpathia), and reaches out to complementary R2I actors in neighbouring ENP countries Moldavia and Georgia, and Poland, and further beyond. RERAM will bridge the gaps in the forest and wood sector’s research to innovation chain to unlock significant saving potentials of raw materials and wastes in woodworking SMEs, and to seize a major opportunity of improving green production and climate change mitigation in these emerging hotspot forest regions. By raising awareness on gains from higher efficiency, and by offering targeted benchmarking, hands-on best practices, information on best available techniques as well as training and coaching measures to entrepreneurs and intermediaries involved in RTI support, the project will enhance competitive capacities of the regions for future joint actions under Horizon 2020. By means of its dissemination channels and joint activities, RERAM builds interfaces to various existing collaborative actions and platforms, promoting cross-organizational and cross-regional dialogues, distilling complementarities, supporting a stronger intertwining of compatible regions and actors, and aligning mutual R2I strategies for increased resource efficiency, sustainable growth and innovation in the ENP Eastern Countries.

Science is a global endeavour with a very local impact on our lives. For this reason we call the project “Km0 Research” (in Italian, “Km0” is the term used for local “short supply chain” products) and will show how: researchers are normal people among us (the “Km0 Researcher”; “Km0” is also how far a researcher is from you); the outputs and results of the research are among us (the “Km0 Lab”); the inputs of science and research come from us and from our needs (the “Km0 Science”). The RSN is organized along the lines mentioned above. The awareness campaign will focus on a strong “humanization” of researchers and various activities will allow to know researchers in their daily lives. It will show how the results of research permeate our lives—from food to waste, from work to recreational and outdoors activities. Finally the RSN will suggest how the inputs and ideas of research come from us: citizens will be able to set the agenda of the Night and take part in labs. The more strategic goals include promoting the profession of researchers (researchers are normal people), promoting the impact of research (the outputs of science), and highlight that the ultimate beneficiaries of science are people (Km0 science). The event will take place in the brand new Science Museum in Trento. The location, designed by Renzo Piano is a 19,000 square meters area located in Trento’s city centre and it is the ideal setting for the RSN, in terms of space, facilities, installations, and overall experience. Laboratories, interactive exhibitions, and areas specifically dedicated to children will complement the scientific offering of the Night. Trento has organized the RSN for four years, with a very good response. The RSN has become an integral part of the long-term communication strategy to help promoting the work of researchers in Trentino. Impact assessments conducted in the past demonstrated the positive effect of the RSN on people’s evaluation of research activities and researchers.

Researchers’ Night in Sweden, ForskarFredag 2013 (Researchers’ Friday), FF13, will unite 26 events in 30 cities across Sweden. The project will bring the general public face-to-face with researchers through fun and hands-on activities in festive, central and unexpected environments on 27th September 2013. It will be coordinated by VA (Public & Science) as in 2006−2012. FF13 will build on the success of previous years, drawing on experience, contacts and the ever-increasing national profile and awareness of what has become a recognised national event. Events will be planned locally and brought together under the national FF umbrella. Local event organisers will be universities, science centres, municipalities, a regional council and a group of research institutes. Extensive use of local networks will ensure each event has an individual angle. By reaching out to all corners of Sweden people will see local research in a national and international context. This year a uniting theme will be “local research, local industry”. High-profile national activities will include a mass experiment for school classes and the researchers’ communication contest Forskar Grand Prix. Social media and the event website will also cement FF13 as a national event with a unanimous message: “Researchers are ordinary people with extraordinary jobs”. This shared identity will be reinforced through graphical and marketing materials. The estimated visitor total is at least 30,000. A coordinated awareness campaign will be implemented from the early stages and will exploit a range of media. The combined media reach is expected to be 5 million Swedes (over 50% of the population). Impact will be assessed through measuring visitor numbers and media coverage, and through questionnaires for both participating researchers and the visiting public. Findings from the impact assessment will be disseminated through the project participants’ networks and at national and international conferences.

The goal of this project is to reduce the power performance ratio within data-centres by improving the usability and usefulness of FPGAs, embedded CPU (eCPU), GPUs and multi/manycore accelerators in high-performance and low-power heterogeneous computing servers. We target applications between traditional super computing tasks (where huge amount of man-power can be spent for manual algorithm optimization) and general purpose data-centre applications (which have to run as they are w/o any optimization for hardware acceleration). The consortium consists of partners from embedded systems and high-performance computing domains. We will combine our experiences in automatic software-to-hardware synthesis and hardware-software co-design from the embedded systems world with the hardware and application experience from the high-performance computing world. The project focus will be on a) setting up a flexible server hardware system, offering a user-constrainted amount of CPUs, eCPUs, FPGAs, GPUs and multi/manycore processors; b) setting up a software development environment, easing up computing resources co-programming adapted fromexisting tools and runtime management techniques from the embedded system domain and leveraging state-of-the-art middle-ware communication and execution frameworks from the HPC domain; and c) demonstrate the effectiveness of both hardware and software environments from FiPS outputs with real world applications at four HPC application partners.
