Privacy is a multifaceted concept, a moving target and a salient topic in technology policy-making. PRESCIENT will provide an early identification of privacy and ethical issues arising from emerging technologies and their relevance for EC policy. It will contribute to the quality of research in the field of ethics, by distinguishing between privacy and data protection and analysing the ethical, legal and socio-economic conceptualisations of each. The project has four stages. The first stage is ANALYSIS: the partners will provide a state-of-the-art analysis of privacy and data protection as conceptualised from an ethical, socio-economic and legal perspective. The second stage is CASE STUDIES wherein the partners will identify the privacy, data protection and ethical issues arising from five different emerging technologies and their applications. The third stage focuses on CITIZENS. The partners will analyse various existing surveys to assess citizen concerns and knowledge of the way in which their data are collected, stored and used and their concerns about new technologies and how their concerns have changed over time. The partners will examine 20 top websites and interview data collectors to assess how easy or difficult it is for citizens to access their information and to find out it is being used. The fourth and final stage focuses on development of a NEW FRAMEWORK FOR PRIVACY AND ETHICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS. The partners will develop four scenarios as an element in this new framework, which is based on an integration of the results of this study and on privacy impact assessment guidelines such as those of the UK. The partners will invite a multi-disciplinary panel of external experts to comment on the deliverables and discuss issues raised in a workshop at each stage. The project will conclude with a final conference to which experts, policy-makers and other stakeholders will be invited in order to debate the project’s findings and recommendations.

RaCeN results on the work develop between 12 French partners that for the second time work on only one project to have a bigger impact on the public. It is not only an event, is a preparation, discussion with all partners before the venue, and it is an observation, an analysis of the different proposition after the 25th September. The aim is to offer large public and researchers an unique opportunity to directly meet and get closer to one another. Events will be organised in the cities of Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Besancon, Dijon, Lille, Rennes, Brest, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Angers, Montpellier, Nimes, Lyon as well as Paris and the region Ile de France. All the events will focus on the researchers as human beings: their will act advisers during the hands on experiments and demos, will be available to all the potential questions raised by the audience and in particular share with the public interests and fun, and act as &quot;normal citizens&quot; while unveiling the magic of their work to the participants. We chose to mobilize the PhD student to show them the necessity to discuss with citizens, to prepare these researchers of tomorrow to participate at the debate science and society, and to show at young visitors that their big sister or brother engage in a career in research.

The Researchers’ Night 2009 in the Czech Republic wants to carry on the successful approach from the past years that attracted rather high awareness of media and thus enabled researchers to be presented to the public in an unusual way, exactly according to the goals of the European project as a whole. The partners entering this project want to play a part in changing the current public attitudes towards researchers. They welcome the opportunity to introduce researchers as ordinary people who are involved in the ordinary life the same way as the others, as well as the chance to show the public how the researchers contribute to the well-being of the society. The activities planned for the event aim will bring researchers and the public together, merging them into one, letting them cooperate and experience amusing activities together. The visitors will discover that researchers are people whose job not only is interesting and exciting but also gives results that we utilize in our everyday life. It will be emphasized that there is no need to be a genius to become a researcher, and particularly the young visitors should leave the event convinced that a scientific career could be a choice for them when they make decisions about their professional lives. To make as many people aware of the upcoming event and to communicate the message of the event also to non-comers, awareness campaign is planned for the project. The role of the European Commission in supporting this particular event will be explained and the EC will be presented as an institution that continuously and largely supports research Europe-wide.

As in the successful “Researchers’ Night” (RN) projects in Norway 2005-2008, our RN 2009 is planned as a nation-wide promotion effort in line with the objectives of the ERA Green Paper 2007, the Lisbon Council, the Ljubljana Process and the call FP7-PEOPLE-NIGHT-2009 - organised as add-on to the coinciding “Forskningsdagene” (Norway’s National Science Week 18.-27. Sept 2009 with 1000 events by 200 local organisers all over Norway, coordinated by the Research Council of Norway (RCN). The RCN submits this coordinated proposal from Norway proposing 15 subcontracted local events selected after national competition. Local and RCN co-financing are substantial. In this nationwide effort researchers are directly involved in informal contact, dialogue and collaboration with the public at large (kids, teenagers, adults and parents, teachers, entrepreneurs, politicians…), well covered by the media. Focus is on the contribution of research and researchers to the society at large, to “de-mystify” research, show that researchers are ordinary people, and how interesting it is to be a researcher. Events include ”hands-on” lab experiments, interactive settings, night in aquarium, cod aquaculture, research vessel study tour, planetarium, Gründer camps – all featuring ”real science”. Industrial partners and EU-supported researchers are included. Professionals will be invited to join the RN 2010 poster competition where winners are selected by public voting on the RCN website www.rcn.no prior to the Night’s award/exhibition ceremony at the RN Darwin Anniversary event in Oslo. The European Corner stand will be at the NTNU Open Lab event in Trondheim. We hope to match RN 2008 when awareness campaigns by nationwide newspaper inlets, advertisements, emails, web-site information, and media coverage, reached an estimated 16.7 mill and 5.8 mill people respectively – not bad for a 4.5 mill population. A reinforced impact assessment will include perceptions before/during/after the RN.

The SAY (Scientist Around Youth) project is proposed by Frascati Scienza which is an association born in the framework of Marie Curie Action Researchers’ Night (RN). SAY has been designed by exploiting all the heritage of experiences accumulated by Frascati Scienza in managing three past RN projects. The three previous successful editions have been analyzed in order to improve the events maintaining and reinforcing the most successful and proposing innovative activities in order to achieve the expected public participation of 15.000 people. The Researchers&apos; Night will be the &quot;culminating event&quot; of the Scientific Week, a wider programme organized by Frascati Scienza. SAY will pay special attention to youths public target in order to attract them towards a future scientific career. The project is articulated in harmonically and well-equilibrated informal, pleasant, enjoyable and attractive activities alternating to those linked with science. The events will be both held inside the participating Research Institutes and into Castelli Romani towns in particularly characteristic places as main squares, parks, pubs, restaurants, libraries, town halls, sites of European artistic and historical interest like the famous Ville Tuscolane, old residences of Pope’s family, and the local archaeological Museum and conference hall “Scuderie Aldobrandini”. The science linked together entertainment activities will be available to the public at large from kids to older people. Science shows and hands-on experiments will be proposed to show how science can also be funny. Guided visits in the several participating Research Institutes and experiments to simulate zero gravity will be proposed to public. Joint activities at national level aimed at enhancing both the awareness campaign and the impact assessment will be carried out; this will allow to provide the Commission with a National Impact Assessment which will be presented in Brussels during the dedicated European dissemination event.

There is strong interest in the development of novel functionalized membranes which can be used as microsieves, as a component of integrated analytical systems, in food processing, drug discovery and diagnostic applications. This project is based on a combination of three break-through technologies, developed by the applicants in the past, with high impact for nano(bio)technological application: (i) the S-layer technology allowing the construction of nanoporous protein lattices, (ii) the biocatalytic formation of inorganic materials by silicatein, a group of unique enzymes capable to catalyze the formation of porous silica from soluble precursors, and (iii) the sol-gel technique for encapsulation (immobilization) of biomolecules serving as biocatalyst or as a component of sensors. The goal of this project is to design and fabricate - based on molecular biology inspired approaches - nano-porous bio-inorganic membranes with novel functionalities for industrial application. These membranes will be formed by S-layer proteins, which are able to assemble to highly ordered structures of defined pore-size, and recombinant silicateins or silicatein fusion proteins. The hydrated silica glass layer formed by silicatein will be used to encase biocatalysts (enzymes) or antibodies against small molecules as sample prep- or sensor components of integrated systems. The innovative type of the functionalized membranes developed in this project thus exploits two principles: (i) protein self-assembly and - and this has not been done before - (ii) enzymatic (silicatein-mediated) deposition of inorganic material used for reinforcement of the membranes as well as for encasing biomolecules, providing the membranes with new functionalities. The new technique will be exploited by three research-based SMEs and the enduser involved in the project, in microfluidics based sample processing and micro-array development, in industrial nanosieves, as well as in sensors in drinking water systems.

MULTISWARD will support developments and innovations in grassland production and management throughout the diversity of European farming systems, pedo-climatic and socio-economic conditions. It will enhance regulating and supporting services from grasslands at the farm and landscape levels whilst improving the competitiveness of grassland-based ruminant production systems. This will be achieved by a concerted use of diversity: multi-species swards, diversity of plant communities at the farm and landscape levels and diversity of production systems at the landscape level. To reach this goal, MULTISWARD will: 1.Define the roles and utility of grassland from economic, agronomic and environmental perspectives and determine stakeholder’s requirements and expectations with respect to multi-functionality in EU countries 2.Assess the performance of multi species swards (MSS) in terms of plant productivity and animal nutrition over a range of environments and determine the most appropriate mixtures according to the soil and climatic conditions 3.Optimize the role of MSS in the provision of regulating and supporting services and maintaining a high level of biodiversity 4.Design and evaluate innovations in grazing and animal management (including animal genetics) to enhance the sustainability and competitiveness of grassland-based ruminant production system 5.Provide adequate evaluation tools (indicators and models) to assess ways of combining high production efficiency with optimal provision of regulating and supporting services from grasslands at farm to regional levels 6.Identify and analyse the effects of socio-economic and policy scenarios supporting grassland development or inducing grassland replacement by annual crops in order to support the design of future policies 7.Disseminate knowledge to key stakeholders through a participatory framework that will allow exchanges between researchers and key stakeholders and increase awareness of grassland based systems

Our objective is to bring researchers closer to the public, highlighting the importance of research, Trying to realize a fix appointment, our forth proposal will partially maintain “2008 theme”: last year we have anticipated the International Astronomy Year, organized by ONU &amp; Unesco to help the citizens of the world rediscover their place in the Universe We have decided to join this event to our Researchers’Night, partially focusing it on the astronomy field.For this reason, two of the partners are National Astrophysics Institute and CIRA Aerospatiale Research.To avoid the possibility of a limited audience and to enlarge the potential impact, reaching a correct multidisciplinarity, the other partners will be MIUR Regional School, Scientific Technological Park, Osservatorio Vesuviano: the first will enable the presence of about twenty schools that will exhibit the school works and researches, PST will present the large part of their one hundred partners, private and public companies, Observatory INGV, as the other editions will continue his presence. The activities will set in Naples and in Benevento: in the main European Corner in Piazza Dante will be displayed the posters and will take place the award ceremony during a big party and in Benevento will be placed an other European Stand in Piazza Duomo, the main square of the town.We will focalise our attention on an equilibrate balance between entertainment/festive and scientific/demonstrative activities, enjoyable by both adults and children Our wish is that each year the Researchers’ Night will be an event more and more focused on the discovery, the fun and on being together with the maximum of participation from both people and researchers. So giving to the researchers a concrete occasion to play with their knowledge involving all kind of people, and an informal opportunity to talk and dialogue with them, to share and show their passions in the scientific work and in everyday activities.

Researchers play a vital role in society during these times, when Europe is undergoing one of the most serious economic recession in decades. This is especially true for Iceland, which was one of the first countries to be hit hard by the crisis. A number of well educated people have lost their jobs in all sectors of the economy and rebuilding may take several years. Innovation and job creation based on research and development must play a crucial role in the restructuring of economy and now there is more need and opportunity than ever to highlight the benefits of research in all areas and encourage young people to embark on research careers. The 2009 Researchers’ Night in Iceland will contribute towards enhancing visibility of research, the role of researchers and their contribution to society, highlight the European dimension of R&D activities and encourage young people to embark on careers in research. In 2009 emphasis will laid on the importance of research and development for innovation and job creation and more enterprises will be involved in project activities than in recent years. Efforts will be made to stimulate creative thinking and entrepreneurship among young people through various activities. The expected impact of this proposal is a better public understanding and support for science and research that may prove to be an important contribution in bringing forward the Icelandic and European economies based on research, innovation and job creation.
