Analysis presented by the European GNSS Agency indicates that the overall addressable market for the Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS) is dominated by the low-end applications. This set of applications accounts for 80% of the market. The focus of the ULTRA proposal is to develop an ultra low cost PRS receiver capable of addressing the low-end applications. The ULTRA project has been proposed as an accelerator to provide stimulus to the support and uptake of PRS across a range of users and applications. This shall be achieved by developing and integrating key technologies that result in a significant reduction in the costs of PRS receivers and making them affordable to a larger customer base who have an interest in PRS for low-end applications. ULTRA shall introduce innovative technologies into the PRS community. The project shall bring a new and fresh perspective on how PRS receivers could be deployed and operated in the future while maintaining security and performances. The project shall analyse, design and develop new technologies for PRS receivers which will result in the generation of new IP, thus enabling the partners to strengthen their businesses and build new opportunities through the outputs of the project. A clear goal is to identify and quantify the real commercial potential for low-end PRS receivers and to assemble the right business model to enter the market and secure early adopters who would be prepared the take the technology to a pilot following the conclusion of the ULTRA project.

Researchers’ Night in Sweden, ForskarFredag (Researchers´ Friday), FF, will consist of 15 events in 25 cities, geographically dispersed across Sweden. The project aims to bring the general public face-to-face with researchers. FF will take place on 23rd September 2011 and will be coordinated by VA (Public & Science), as in 2006-2010. Local event organisers will be universities, science centres, municipalities and a regional council. Both the coordinator and the event organisers have extensive links with researchers in industry and academia across a wide range of disciplines. Innovative and exciting activities will be offered at all events, creating a relaxed and festive environment for the public and researchers to meet and talk. Fun, hands-on and interactive activities as well as informal dialogues on topical issues will attract the broadest public possible. Communication and European cooperation in research will be highlighted. Events will be planned locally and brought together under the national FF umbrella, including a nationwide mass experiment for school classes in connection with the events and a joint website. This will ensure a unanimous FF message: “Researchers are ordinary people with extraordinary jobs”, as well as common objectives and a common identity through the FF logo and other marketing materials. The estimated total number of visitors is at least 22,350. Live media reports and news items about the events are expected to reach approximately 2.5 million Swedes (over a quarter of the population). A coordinated awareness campaign will be implemented from early on. Impact will be assessed through measuring visitor numbers and the extent of media coverage, and through questionnaires for both 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 findings will also be used to improve future FF events.

The ChemEve: Chemistry EveryWhere proposal consists in two different activities. The first activity consists of seven main Events on the 23rd September 2011, which will gather around 15000 people, organised by seven public entities around Spain: Girona, Murcia, Burgos, Las Palmas, Oviedo, Valladolid, and Mallorca. The second activity consists on a Drawing Competition, which will be performed before and after the 23rd event. Special emphasis will be done on the 2.0 tools, called Researchers 2.0, using games and videos edited in the previous edition of Reseachers’ Night. These tools, together with the Drawing Competition, will be used to disseminate 23rd Event Activities. The main objective of the project is to enhance the recognition of researchers and their role in society. Being 2011 the International Year of Chemistry (IYC11) each researchers’ work will be related with chemistry using some experiment, letting the general public know that researchers are “common people”. The role of the project will go around showing that Everything is Chemistry and Chemists are Everywhere. For this purpose, the Communicative facet of researchers together with some hands-on experiments will be used to bring them closer to the large public by presenting researchers as “common people. The project will be implemented using different activities: 1. Researcher 2.0: This activity will be focused in: Scientists explaining their work and gallery of experiments and games. 2. Drawing Competition: Based in previous experiences of the Researchers’ Night edition, a drawing competition will be held. Their analysis will be used to tackle stereotypes about researchers. 3. Researchers’ Night: Chemists EveryWhere: A Researchers’ fair will take place during the whole Event, where hands on experiments, workshops and competitions will be shown in vivo. The final part of this activity will have a festivity character, where different actions will take place, from games and music to a final firework.

In 2011, five partners will organise four events in respective major Greek cities:, Athens, Volos, Patras and Ioannina. The events have been carefully designed in such a way so as to target audience from all ages and backgrounds. The selected venues are spacious and can host with comfort, both outdoors and indoors, the thousands of participants that are expected. Dozens of researchers (both male and female) have already been contacted and agreed to get actively involved in all interactive activities (games, puzzles, experiments etc.) planned for the night of the events. Researchers will also be present in the European corner of each event and will help the audience learn in an “edutainment” manner more about the European Union and research. The awareness campaign that will lead to the events is divided in two sections: a) local awareness activities carried out by each partner taking into consideration the local particularities and local key stakeholders that will be mobilized and b) national promotional activities, such as TV spots and inserts in national media, circulation of stamp dedicated to researchers’ night and on-line tools that will promote the European initiative and direct public for more information to the ReN2011 website. The impact of the events will be measured using quantitative data from questionnaires, number of participants and qualitative data such as references in media during the post-event days. The consortium will analyze how the events affected public’s perception of researchers’ image, researcher’s and other specific objectives that will be posed during the early phase of the project.

With a high density of research institutions hosting a large international scientific community, Trieste is an ideal showcase for the role of researchers in contemporary society and a privileged setting for the Researcher’s Night. The STAR2011 project stems directly from a Memorandum signed in 2008, whereby local authorities and research institutions based in Trieste commit to promote the role of research as a key asset for the territory. The STAR2011 consortium is coordinated by the University of Trieste and includes two Universities, nine research institutions and a science museum, together with Trieste Municipality and Province. This strong and highly motivated partnership will make available to the project, and ultimately to the public, scientific excellence, top level researchers and specific know-how in the organization of events, availing also of the experience from the successful participations to the Researcher’s Night in 2009 and 2010. While the focus of the project is on researchers rather than research, a common theme – energy – is proposed as the fil rouge of a rich and varied programme and will be interpreted by the project partners according to their specificities. The event follows the concept of bringing researchers to the public rather than viceversa, taking place in the the main square, “Piazza dell’Unità”, and surrounding pedestrian area, at the heart of the historic town. Piazza dell’Unità, 16.000 square meters, is the biggest sea facing square in Europe providing a magnificent stage, equipped for the occasion with large gazebos, where researchers will present their activities to the public. The Night's programme has been devised to offer a unique blend of research and entertainment, with attractions such as a trips on a hot air balloon, sea cruises, sports, music, art, social games, that will complement traditional Friday night entertainments and hopefully attract a large public to the event.

Organic photovoltaics (OPV) represent the newest generation of technologies in solar power generation, offering the benefits of flexibility, low weight and low cost enabling the development of new consumer nomadic applications and the long term perspective of easy deployment in Building Integrated Photo Voltaics (BIPV) and energy production farms. This is a key opportunity for the EU to further establish its innovation base in alternative energies. The current challenges reside in the combination to increase efficiencies to 8-10% (module level), increase expected lifetime up to 20 years and decrease production costs to 0.7 Eur/Wp, while taking into account the environmental impact and footprint. The key project objectives are to achieve: • Printed OPV with high efficiency architectures such as tandem cells and dedicated light management structures • High performance photo active and passive (barrier) materials including process controlled morphology • Solutions for cost effective flexible substrates, diffusion barriers and conductors • Deep understanding of the device physics, elucidation of degradation mechanisms and estimate environmental impact of the main materials and processes The project consortium combines industrial, institutional and academic support to make a significant impact at European and International level, especially on materials and processes while demonstrating their market-relevant implementations. The industrial project partners are well assembled along the supply chain of future OPV-based products, which is an important prerequisite for the creation of significant socio-economic impact of this proposal.

d-LIVER applies scenario-driven development methodologies to address an unmet need for bio-artificial liver support via continuous detoxification as remote transient therapy at the Point-of-Need. The liver is a complex organ with various vital functions in synthesis, detoxification and regulation; its failure is life-threatening and the only curative treatment is transplantation. Whilst awaiting transplantation, or after liver resection, patients need to be supported with detoxification systems which, currently mainly based on filtration, do not support metabolic liver function. This can only be provided by living cells. Thus, development of ICT-enabled bio-artificial liver support systems with associated remote monitoring to assist in the treatment and management of liver patients in care settings extending from the hospital to the home is essential. d-LIVER targets sensor-based monitoring of patient health status at home, concentrating on continuous monitoring of physiological parameters and discrete measurement of a defined set of biochemical species. d-LIVER also targets remote monitoring and control of the bio-artificial liver and communication with patient sensor networks and hospital information systems. Systems will be capable of remote, secure communication of the status of both the patient and the bio-artificial liver to central clinical services such that they can schedule swift and beneficial treatment and remedial actions. In this way d-LIVER will provide fundamental advances in liver support by reducing hospitalisation costs while enhancing quality of care and, at the same time, reinforcing European leadership in Personal Health systems. In a parallel, high-risk, activity the production of human hepatocytes from pancreatic progenitor cells will be investigated. These would be ideal for use in d-LIVER systems since they may provide an unlimited supply of hepatocytes, which would overcome drawbacks associated with both primary hepatocytes and stem cells.
