“INTERFACES, the Art of Science” will highlight Dusseldorf as a European capital of science, art and culture. INTERFACES symbolises the link between science and society, research and art, technology and design, tradition and vision. There is a high potential for innovation at the interface between science and art that is vital for the progress of science and society. INTERFACES will show that innovative solutions of current and future problems, such as demographic change, energy development or motivation of young people for a scientific career can only be found by understanding the interaction between science, society, culture and art. INTERFACES will show fascinating scientific results and developments created in cooperation between scientists from multiple disciplines, different faculties and universities in Dusseldorf. During INTERFACES, the city centre will be transformed into one enormous science laboratory highlighting the role of the researchers. The programme offers a colourful mix of experiments, presentations, interactive installations and games, panel discussions and performances and will attract a wide audience from all age groups. Several representative buildings and institutions will host scientific and artistic presentations, thus allowing visitors to experience research directly and in unusual venues not always accessible to the public. For the first time in Dusseldorf, Researchers’ Night will be organised by three public higher education institutes: The University of Applied Sciences (FHD), Heinrich Heine University (UDUS) and Robert Schuman School of Music and Media (RSH), supported by the Art Academy and the City of Dusseldorf. Thanks to the different but complementary nature of the partners, INTERFACES is interdisciplinary and brings together scientists from media technology to natural sciences, from medical sciences to art activities. INTERFACES will be the start of an annually ongoing event in the state capital of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The Researchers’ Night has been for the seven past editions a regular appointment for the different publics of science in Piedmont. The 2013 edition will rely on new advanced communication, impact assessment and web tools to put more and more the researchers at the center of the project and at the same time to increase the number of participants, the cooperation with other projects, the EU dimension and the global impact of the event. Indeed, the acronym FACES stresses the emphasis that the project puts on the human face of scientific research, but also on the choice of facing the challenges concerning science and society through innovative methods. The sharing process at national and EU level started in 2012 with the SHARE project will continue through joint objectives, tools and in particular the implementation of the national website. In terms of communication, the novelty will be the project “The human face of research” that will allow public and researchers to meet before and after the “Night” on the web, while the impact assessment will be strengthened by the new “Design your own researcher avatar”. The most successful activity of the 2012 edition is enriched with new content and extended to all Piedmontese cities: the European Coffee corner for science, short multimedia presentations of researchers followed by discussions with public in front of a coffee or a beer enlightened by the music of the universities’ radios. A new appealing space where the public can get in touch with researchers and learn about the European dimension of science. Needless to say, the best traditional activities of the previous editions will continue with more and more initiatives in all the venues: Alessandria, Asti, Biella, Cuneo, Novara, Torino, Verbania and Vercelli. The “Night” in Piedmont will also be an opportunity to actively participate in the “International Year of Water Cooperation” as the year 2013 has been declared by the UN.

The main aims of the Researchers’ Night are: dissemination of science, researcher’s career and bringing researchers closer to people (through informational, educational and artistic activities). We intend to open the secluded researchers' society, making the scientists meet the events participants “face to face” and let the people visit laboratories, archives, university radio and other places usually unavailable to the public. Due to various interactive forms of communication, around 20,000 inhabitants of Olsztyn, the region and Poland will directly benefit from the project. During the Night there will be a series of educational experiments, a research-awareness campaign, astronomical presentations, exhibitions, quizzes, workshops, a field game and lectures, all connected with the main issue of this year Researchers’ Night i.e. the night and phenomena associated with it: darkness, sleep etc. There will be events for everybody regardless of age, sex and profession. A European aspect of the events will be present in competitions and in 3 European corners. Some events (e.g. a concert, 5D cinema shows) are supposed to attract the biggest possible audience. Diversified awareness campaign will be monitored and revised on ongoing basis in order to reach as many recipients as possible, which will be achieved through cooperation with media and partners, quizzes and competitions with prizes, Internet, promotional and advertising activities and social networking websites. This action will be intensified during The 11.Olsztyn Days of Science and Art (September 25-27) and the Olsztyn Autumn Agriculture Fair in September 2013. The highlight of the events will be the Researchers’ Night in 3 main locations in Olsztyn (university campus, Olsztyn Planetarium and Astronomical Observatory, Old Town). The main programme entitled DARK SIDE is accompanied by dozens of accompanying events. The project is prepared and conducted by the University of Warmia and Mazury and its partners.

In France, few people usually attend science events. We propose an original and innovative programme in order to raise people's interest in research. We intend to reach a large audience with many first-time visitors: a total of 25000 attendees and a broader audience of 6 million people. Our strategy will be to point out that the Researcher’s Night is the only nation-wide event entirely dedicated to researchers, where a direct and extensive dialogue is possible. In order to attract the public, we will offer them to discover the researcher’s “Unknown Worlds”. This theme is catchy and linked with the profession of researcher. The unknown worlds in research are many and cover all fields of science: brain, infinitely small, unknown societies, etc. On September 27th, in 15 cities of France, unknown worlds will be created. In museum, libraries, and cinemas, various sceneries will be set up in relation with the researchers topics of interest. Moreover, each city will propose surprising meetings based on original ideas: playful participation to research, games with researchers, facilitators' interventions, etc. Those best practices have been successfully tested during the previous researcher’s nights we organised. Researchers and the public will gather for a playful, surprising, festive, and beautiful evening of enriching meetings. We think the chosen theme and the set up will allow long conversations with researchers, and that people will be seduced by these extraordinary explorations. They will feel much closer to the researchers thanks to the contact they will have with them. To organise this event in the French regions, we are a consortium of 12 partners specialised in scientific vulgarisation, and who are used to work with researchers. We frequently exchange on how to train researchers and on how to create original facilities and devices. We will also have two qualitative enquiries on the researcher’s image and on the efficiency of our awareness campaign made.

The RN13: People for a Better Future proposal consists in different activities which are deeply related. The first activity consists of ten main Events on the 27th September 2013, which will gather more than 25000 people, organised by nine public entities and two associations around Spain and a Science Museum. A second activity consists on a Drawing Competition, which will be performed before and after the 27th event. Also special emphasis will be done on the 2.0 tools which together with the Drawing Competition, will be used to disseminate 27th Event Activities. European Corner will be built in order to let the society know that Europe cares for Researchers, both physical and virtual. The main objective of the project is to enhance the recognition of researchers and their role in society, showing that Researchers are among us. The latest economic cuts do not help to improve the image of Science and Scientist; on the other hand, they make people think that one can do with no Research and Researchers. It is necessary to show the society that with No Researchers there is No Future. For this purpose, Researcher will be participating in Researcher’ Night activities to show the importance of Scientists in the current economic context. The Communicative facet of researchers together with some hands-on experiments will be used to bring them closer to the large public enhancing public recognition of Researchers and their Work, as well as convincing young people to embark on scientific careers. The Events will be implemented using two different activities: 1. Drawing Competition: Based on previous experiences of the Researchers’ Night edition, a drawing competition will be held. The analysis of drawings will be used to tackle the existing stereotypes about researchers. 2. RN13: People for a Better Future: A Researchers’ fair will take place during the whole Event, where hands on experiments, workshops, demos, exhibitions, and competitions will be shown in vivo.

A hallmark of profound understanding of the organization of a living cell is the ability to reconstitute essential cellular functionalities from minimal components. To achieve this breakthrough a concerted effort of cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics is required. Our project brings together this expertise to reconstitute the cell’s ability to control the organization of cytoskeletal networks in an artificial ‘Model’ Cell. To achieve a mechanistic understanding of how cell organization is regulated, we will develop methods to manipulate cytoskeletal interactions in space and time and study the effects of such manipulation on functional cytoskeletal organization in the confinement of both artificial systems and cells. We will focus on regulatory interactions at dynamic microtubule plus ends, which play an essential role in cell division, polarization, and migration. Using a combination of in vitro, in vivo, and theoretical approaches, we aim at the following goals: 1. Achieve a molecular scale understanding of cooperative and competitive relationships between regulators at microtubule ends, and their effect on microtubule dynamics, microtubule behavior at the cell boundary, and interactions with actin filaments. 2. Generate a quantitative understanding of symmetric and polarized positioning of the microtubule cytoskeleton by microtubule-cell boundary interactions during cell division and cell migration. 3. Obtain a mechanistic view of microtubule-actin co-organization driven by regulatory effects at microtubule ends, with and without the additional contribution of microtubule-cell boundary interactions, and apply this knowledge to manipulate cell polarization and migration. Synergy between our complementary expertise, tools, infrastructure and local collaboration networks is key to achieving these goals. Our groups are located within short travel distance from each other, allowing the coupling of infrastructure and resources on a daily basis.

During the European Researchers Night researchers will leave their laboratories, take over St. Poelten, the capital city of Lower Austria and transform it into the “Destination Future”. While the successful Researches Night “F.I.T für Forschung” turned the campus of St. Poelten University of Applied Sciences into an intellectual fitness centre in 2011, the event will cover the whole city center in 2013 with loads of different activities taking place at several locations, such as the train station, the cinema paradiso, the state theatre, the city museum, the cathedral, the main square and temporary disused salesrooms. Visitors of the European Researchers Night will be invited to join a journey through time, to betake themselves into the future and to experience manifold future prospects. Scientists and researchers as well as designers and artists will present their visions of possible social, cultural, technical developments. Mainly interactive activities on the base of ongoing research projects in fields like information and communication technologies, health, human sciences, design, art and archaeology ensure an exchange of ideas and experiences between researchers and the public. The main goal of the Researchers Night is to attract as large an audience as possible. It is crucial that researchers will meet all age groups, genders, as well as both rural and urban populations. Learning today is life long and international. All groups can provide the researchers of the future. The Researcher Night will follow a multi-disciplinary approach and will offer a diversified program for the mind, body and soul, which not only presents researchers and their ideas to the public but also gives the audience the chance to take an active role in some of the activities to experience the world of researchers: Future: Mobility, Future:Living, Future:Learning, Future:Nutrition, Future:Fitness, Future Fashion, Future:Science:Playground and many other activities.

In Hungary the partnership of 18 institutions (one organisation managing and coordinating EU and educational and training grants, 14 top universities, two research institutes, one Observatory and numerous additional HEIs, science museums, research institutes and research groups joining the consortium as indirect partners) will organise RN 2013 with the aim of enhancing the public recognition of researchers, establish further links between research career and business innovations, find and help the researchers of tomorrow in their career and also present the European context for research. The organisers will do all efforts to organise a festival-like event, where participants can enjoy innovative and high quality, but at the same time fascinating and joyful programmes. Our aim is to prove: “Meeting science for the first time is as ecstatic as love is for the first sight.” The protagonists of the RN 2013 will be researchers, but we will focus on the young generation more then ever, as we believe that researchers of tomorrow live among us and it is our responsibility and also great opportunity to find them and help them towards their future career. Due to the geography of the event (all regional centres and many more towns are involved) it is possible for all to find high quality and entertaining programmes within short travelling distance. Without good education it is difficult to make significant progress. The event will contribute to the enhancement of natural sciences and it will also support the education institutions to present and share their best practices in talent development.

These and many other attractions are waiting for you to reveal your passion for science and convince you that researchers are just ordinary people with an extraordinary job and various hobbies! FANTASTICNIGHT is a continuation of the Researchers’ Night projects of the past six years, which were highly successful gathering last year app. 56.000 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 27 September 2013 will be focused on public at large and will have even more 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.
