It is proposed to analyse use and gratifications concerning science programmes in Europe comparatively by using already existing data of a collection of European Countries. Additionally focus group discussion are proposed to clarify which factors lead recipients in their judgements concerning different types of science programmes. Such a comparative analysis is only possible by ordering systematically what is currently offered in the field of science programmes. Resting on the principle of relevancy a typology of science programmes is developed, which enables research to classify what is currently offered in the field with regard to formats and recipients.

The project “Practising Gender Equality in Science (PRAGES)” consists of an action of coordination aimed at comparing the various strategies implemented for promoting the presence of women in decision-making bodies relating to scientific research in public institutions. It pursues the objective of collecting, classifying and evaluating good practices and positive actions (involving those where a positive contribution from men is recorded) that can be found in OECD countries, both at the national level and at the level of the individual institutions, and to make them available, in a usable form, to a number of selected targets, including both decision-makers and other relevant stakeholders. It will be characterized by four particular elements: the attempt to integrate the most important and relevant results deriving from the studies and good practices relating to the fight against vertical segregation in various professional, political and social areas; enhancing the understanding of the exclusion of women as being deeply linked to what may be called the lack of socialisation of gender in science, that is, the resistance of scientific community to recognise and manage social and gender dynamics that drive the production of scientific research and its assessment; the comparative approach, from a geographical point of view, with the inclusion of both European and non-European partners and countries (including, in particular, the United States, Canada and Australia); the orientation to benchmarking, above all in order to concretise the indications in terms of policy-making. These features are translated, at the operational level, into 7 work-packages: WP1- Operational networking; WP2- Monitoring of significant events; WP3- Good practice database; WP4- Benchmarking; WP5- Guidelines; WP6- Public communication and dissemination; WP7- Management. The project will last 18 months. Consortium includes researchers from 8 countries.

The EIMID-IAPP training programme is part of the European Initiative for Basic Research in Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (EIMID), created in 2003 by scientists of five European centres of excellence (the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin, the CMMI at Imperial College in London, the Institut Pasteur in Paris, the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm; and the vaccine company Novartis in Siena). By building a strong coalition among these institutes, EIMID aims at setting the basis for a future no-wall European Institute of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, as part of the European Research Area (ERA). EIMID-IAPP aims at implementing the Industry-Academia cooperation through an integrated programme of exchange of young researchers between the industrial partner and the four academic institutions. The goal of the collaborative project is the development of Novel Therapeutic Approaches against Infectious Diseases, with particular emphasis to drug-based and vaccine-based therapies for bacterial infections affecting mucosal surfaces. Four researchers will be seconded from the industrial partner to the four academic institutions and vice-versa. Each secondment will be for two years (with a six month intermission for intermediate knowledge transfer to the mother institution), and the seconded staff between two institutions will investigate complementary aspects of the same project sub-area. Each institution will also recruit an experienced researcher for two years, to acquire new expertise and technologies necessary to the project development. A series of informal discussions, and annual general meetings, will allow constant exchange of information and efficient project steering. This activity of Industry-Academia exchange fulfils the EIMID goals of 1) harmonising European research programmes, so as to achieve a critical mass on relevant topics. 2) fostering exchange of scientists, particularly at the doctoral and post-doctoral levels.

Although participation of civil society is considered crucial for the implementation of ambitious sustainability strategies like the EU Sustainable Development Strategy (EU SDS), many implementation programmes and activities do not yet consistently involve players from this field – focusing more on business actors (ETAP) or researchers (SCORE). This project will address this gap – by actively involving Civil Society Organisation to identify research needs and designing elements of deliberative processes on sustainable consumption and production in the demand areas food, housing and mobility. These ‘deliberative processes’ can be defined as ‘forums and mechanisms for involving stakeholders from civil society through information exchange, open discussions and continuous feedback on decision making on research agendas and political actions in the area sustainable consumption and production’. The project will focus on three demand areas food, housing and mobility, that have been found to be responsible for 70 percentage of environmental damage in the EU. This approach also takes up the focus introduced in the new SCP Action Plan, that will focus on activities in these same three areas. During the project, three workshops will be organised in each demand areas, framed by an opening and a closing conference. An EU Strategy workshop will involve EC and EEA personnel to draw conclusions and plan follow-up actions. An online platform will host an ongoing and open dialogue. The project will last 18 months, the co-ordinator is the UNEP / Wuppertal Institute Collaborating Centre of Sustainable Consumption and Production (CSCP, Germany), and the partners are The Centre for Sustainable Design (CfSD, United Kingdom) and the Regional Environmental Center (REC – Hungary). The partners bring their extensive experience both in organising participatory stakeholder processes and in working with political and academic stakeholders working on sustainable consumption and production.

In order to develop a better integration of science in society and society in science the promotion of young people’s interest in science, to encourage their critical and creative ways of thinking and to improve science education, and the uptake of scientific careers in general is of vital importance. Sustained learning of science implies many different dimensions. One often ignored, but important dimension is the way how scientific knowledge is gener-ated. Moreover the objectives and motivations to do science, scientific methods, the em-pirical fundament, social and cultural aspects are as important as philosophical founda-tions of science, scientific concepts and their use. The acquisition of knowledge about the nature of science is essential for democratic societies which partly rest their decision-making on rational and scientific criteria. The HIPST project works with 10 partners from 8 countries covering R&D, policy and implementation aspects of the acknowledgement. HIPST aims at the raising of understanding the relationship between science, technology, and society, and to foster science education and public understanding of science on a European level. The project approach has three specific objectives: To increase the inclusion of history and philosophy of science in science teaching for the benefit of scientific literacy. To improve strategies for development and implementation of domain-relevant materials and teaching techniques into educational practice. To strengthen the cooperation and establish a permanent infrastructure of sustainable network-ing of all involved stakeholders in the field of scientific literacy and public understanding of science (school science teachers, museum experts, researchers). HIPST establishes a sustainable network between the project partners for the development and exchange of know-how and experiences in the inclusion of historical and philosophical components in science teaching programmes.

The project general aim is to support the research systems of two countries, India (an emerging economy/EE) and Kenya (a Developing Country/DC), by assisting them in developing their own research ethics perspective within the context of an initiative in favour of research activity and in the sharing of responsibility on scientific and technological research (STR). The promoters intend to contribute to achieving the objective of developing actions of capacity building in DC and EE, by means of an international dialogue, in the field of ethics and science. The specific objectives to be achieved through initiatives of coordination, capacity building, training and awareness raising, are: to strengthen the levels of information and awareness on ethical issues connected with ST by fostering a dialogue among scientists from different parts of the planet; to integrate ethical issues to the wider issue of enhancing the socialisation of research (this notion refers to the dynamics and processes of a social nature that are incorporated in scientific and technological research.), in view of the strengthening of local research systems (with particular attention to the factors that can facilitate or hinder the development of STR systems; to activate processes of building institutional capacities and skills on these themes; to develop ethical guidelines and standards that refer to international instruments and codes on ethics but which are also sensitive to and compatible with the local values, STR levels and needs; to define perspectives of socialisation of science and technology that take into consideration local needs and are in compliance with EU standards in ethics. The project will have an overall duration of 36 months and include 12 WP.

This proposal is to establish a Consortium to provide academic input into the planned Eurobarometer Survey on the Life Sciences and Sensitive Technologies in 2008. It is also intended to add value to the survey and thereby enhance its impact and policy relevance with extensions of a conceptual, contextual and a methodological nature. First, we introduce the concept ‘public ethics’, moving beyond public perceptions to acknowledge that ideas of equity, nature, and responsibility contribute to the public’s assessment of technological innovation. Second, and to maximize policy relevant, the survey findings will be interpreted in the context of national policies on technological innovation and the ways in which national initiatives have, or have not, taken account of public ethics. Third, the consortium will develop tools for valid cross national comparisons, going beyond much current research that merely compares means differences and percentages. Better tools for such comparisons will make it possible to extract much more relevant information from survey research. The EB survey in 2008 will be the seventh in a triennial series that has run since 1991. The EB surveys on Biotechnology are internationally recognised as an authoritative, systematic and dispassionate assessment of the contours of public opinion. The data from these surveys provide both contemporary insights into public perceptions about sensitive technologies and time series data on the evolution and change in public opinion. The past surveys have made important contributions to the informed debates on many developments in biotechnology, most recently seen in a contribution to the European Parliament’s decision on human embryonic stem cell research in 2005. The understanding of the role of public ethics in relation to sensitive technological developments will make an important contribution to the development socially sustainable European and national innovation policies.

It is the overall aim of ETHICSWEB to stimulate an enhanced democratic debate on ethical issues of science and to promote a more engaged and informed public. Therefore, existing information and documentation systems will be connected to allow and ensure an easy access to comprehensive information on science and ethics. At the same time sophisticated tools, both technical and semantic, will be applied or – if necessary developed – to make the huge amount of information available for all parties involved. ETHICSWEB will be a common, decentralized European access point for information that is made available in different European member states, by various regional providers and centres as well as by international organizations. ETHICSWEB strives for the documentation of different sources which include information on ethics and science like literature; laws, regulations and guidelines; training materials and training programmes; academic exchange programmes; centres, projects and experts; events and news (such as conferences, calls for papers and new initiatives). In order to reach the goal of connecting existing activities it is necessary to establish a modular and dynamic infrastructure for systematic and inter-connected European documentation, information and communication system.

The proposed project offers 10 researchers the possibility to move sector and country in order to provide, absorb and implement new knowledge in a professional industrial-academic environment in the field of blue biotechnology and particularly in the area of new bio-inspired adhesives and release materials for adhesives. The respective research teams will be enforced by two newly recruited experienced researchers offering complementary expertise to the consortium. The proposed development of biomimetic glue products (an adhesive that employs man-made materials to mimic the efficient attachment mechanisms of marine organisms) will revolutionise the field of adhesive and surface technology. Although the competence in the EU seems to be high in terms of marine expertise, the available new knowledge needs to be transferred to the industry and implemented for the development of marketable products. The objective of Blue4Glue is to transfer and build up new knowledge in three research topics, in which bioadhesion plays a central role in each of them: (I) Development of bio-inspired systems for the modification of surfaces to achieve dirt release effects (II) Development of polyolefin based adhesive release films (III) Development of a concept of under water bio-adhesion for bio-inspired synthetic material Procter & Gamble wishes to set up a transfer of knowledge with two academic partners: the University of Naples (UNINA) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Applied Materials (FRAUNHOFER). Both partners will help P&G understand the mechanical, chemical and physical characteristics of adhesion and implement bio-inspired materials in future consumer products. The academic partners wish to understand the challenges in the fast moving world of consumer products to increase the industrial relevance of their research programs and to develop capacity to transfer basic scientific knowledge into relevant industrial applications.

The goal of the present project is to provide governments and related organizations with a methodology to increase insight into the determinants of actual and perceived security, and into which interventions are effective for increasing security. The deliverables of this project represent practical and ready-to-use tools, which can be employed by policy makers and other end-users, to formulate policy regarding security. This project is a re-submittal of a proposal for PASR in 2006. In this project we will develop 1) a conceptual model of actual and perceived security and their determinants, 2) a methodology to collect, quantify, organize, analyse and interpret security-related data, 3) a data warehouse to store and extract for analysis data amassed using the methodology, and 4) carry out a validation study to test the model, methodology and data warehouse. We will test if it is possible to answer relevant security-related questions from the field using the methodology. The project deliverables can be used by end-users to assess security at the international, national and local levels and to draw conclusions regarding such issues as: What are the levels of actual and perceived security in specific locations?, Which interventions work where?, and Which interventions should be implemented in which locations?
