The main objective of this year’s project consists of enhancing researchers' public recognition through increased visibility. Therefore, a varied programme of activities will take place in not less than 10 Macedonian cities, i.e. Skopje, Bitola, Tetovo, Stip, Ohrid, Kicevo, Gostivar, Veles, Prilep, and Strumica, and will provide unique opportunities to the Macedonian public to interact and have fun with researchers. The concept of the event is considered to attract all age groups and provides mix of activities and possibilities for edutainment. The REVIS 2010 concept commences with a customised promotional campaign ‘Open for Science’ designed to provide increased public awareness on national level. During the night of 24 September 2010 there will be several open venues in each participating city, amusement programs, and science fair, bespoke projections, exhibitions, and demonstrations, European corners, street labs and cabinets of curiosity. Researchers’ Night is a manifestation that provides opportunity for reaching better visibility and public awareness for the European Research Area. It contributes to presentation of the possibilities by involvement of Macedonian Scientific Society in European Research Area, and in particular in the FP7 Programme. Hence the European Research possibilities are a cross-cutting issue of REVIS 2010 project. Taking into account the objectives of the Researchers’ Night initiative under the Framework programme of the European Commission, and the previous experience of the consortium, the project REVIS 2010 sets as its main goal to enhance public recognition of researchers and their role in society and to encourage young people in Macedonia to embark on scientific career.

Never before have researchers, their existence, efforts and work, been so important for the Icelandic economy and society. The economic collapse has forced people to reassess their values and as a result, there will be a considerable restructuring of society with important decisions being made about the future development of the economy. In these extreme conditions, innovation and creativity, research and development are blossoming in most sectors and especially within the research community itself. The main concept of the proposal is to bring researchers in direct contact with the public at large and promote a recognition of their role in contributing to the development of European society as a whole. The objective is to influence a more positive public perception of researchers as persons by protraying their many facets and facilitate active dialogue between scientists and guests at Researchers’ Night.

On the 24th of September 2010, a big event will be held in Brussels in the frame of the Researchers' Night. This event will be organized by the Belgian Science Policy Office in collaboration with major Belgian universities and research institutions. Considering that 2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity, the Researchers' night will focus on the mutual understanding of researchers and citizens around this specific theme. Researchers will get the opportunity to talk about themselves, about their research and their role in daily life. The programme of activities will be varied: experiments, games, quizzes, films, discussions, and entertainment. The citizens will be able to express their feelings, skepticism, doubts, fears or enthusiasm on the importance of biodiversity. Researchers will show that behind recommended behavior, behind simple deeds, there is research. And a researcher. The idea is to show that biodiversity researchers are part of the society. Subsequently the citizens will be asked to become biodiversity research actors.

The Re-Fuel project will treasure the experience capitalised in the past editions (RCCS (2006), ReASON (2007), REPLAY (2008) and Re-Party (2009) and will continue to work as accumulation point for resources, ideas, energies and expertise which will ensure the full regional coverage, both in Piedmont and Aosta Valley. Partners’ and over 50 organisations’ endeavours will concentrate on organising a Researcher’s Night in two city more than in 2009 and Aosta Valley, in order to offer to citizens a widened offer and opportunity to meet researchers and their life and work and to interact with them. The 2010 edition will stress three of the very many characteristics that may describe research as a fun, young and ever living human activity. This will be the starting point expressed by the project title itself and by the acronym, suggesting that fun lays in the inner core for every scientific investigation and that this is keeping it young and yet not a new come. The result is an ever-living propelling engine for humankind evolution, fuelled by new generations’ interests and involvement. In this scenario, and after the ESOF2010 event, Turin will be the 2010 European Youth Capital (EYC) and will be given the chance to to showcase its youth-related cultural, social, political and economic life and development. 2010 Researchers’ Night will be one of Turin EYC cornerstone events.

Livestock production efficiency is impaired by helminth infection which is ubiquitous in cattle, sheep and goats world-wide. It causes severely debilitating gastro-intestinal, respiratory and hepatic disorders, dependent on the infecting species. The treatment and prevention of helminth parasitism in livestock continues to rely almost exclusively on the use of anthelmintic drugs, an approach threatened by the global emergence of anthelmintic resistance. An alternative approach is vaccination. Members of the present consortium (from the EU and Switzerland, North and South America, North and South Africa, Australia, 2 SMEs and 1 major animal health company) have developed prototype vaccines with the predicted required efficacy to control major gastro-intestinal nematode infections of livestock, notably Ostertagia ostertagi in cattle and Haemonchus contortus in sheep, the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica in sheep and cattle with leading positions in subunit vaccine development against Cooperia onchophora, Dictyocaulus viviparus in cattle and the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus in dogs. This proposal aims to deliver at least one prototype vaccine to the point of uptake by the commercial sector or through government/philanthropic agencies and this will be addressed by 1) Developing effective native or synthetic vaccines, the latter using novel, molecular expression systems. 2) Defining the protective immune responses induced by these vaccines to order to optimise the structure of the antigens and the method of their delivery. 3) Defining vaccine efficacy with trials in both housed and grazing livestock 4) Providing a platform for training and knowledge exchange which includes participation in training programmes, short exchanges of staff, workshops,and web site provision. 5) Interacting closely with computer modellers, the animal health industry, farmer organisations and other stakeholders to define required vaccine characteristics. 6) Knowledge exchange/dissemination to policy makers, scientists, government departments and the general public.

The interaction between science and the media is a key element in the public opinion’s understanding of research issues and of citizens’ consensus on public spending for research. Food research issues have been recently at the heart of heated debates and often subject to misrepresentations partially due to over-simplification by the media or to insufficient involvement of scientists in communication to the large public. This is a bottleneck that still hinders citizens’ comprehension of major scientific themes currently discussed at European or national level. The MAITRE project intends to act on researchers’ readiness to manage communication processes oriented to the large public. The rationale is to transfer from the journalists to the researchers parts of the translation process that is needed to bring scientific information from the laboratories to the common people. If scientists gain a full understanding of the information production processes in today’s media (newspapers, tv, web, etc.), they will be able to handle their input in communication in a more effective way, combining soundness of scientific information with the necessary level of clarity adapted to the needs of the general public. The project will revolve around a cycle of training sessions to be delivered by journalists and media experts to a target group of roughly 600 researchers from organisations involved in KBBE funded projects. Trainings will be organised in several countries and in different languages, paying attention to ensure a wide coverage of the EU, including countries of the enlarged Europe and of different sub-themes addressed by the KBBE programme. The project has potential to considerably step up researchers’ capacity to explain the scope and results of their activities, thus contributing to bring science closer to the citizens and these to a better understanding of why the integration of European research resources is beneficial to the whole European society.

The ALaSCA project focuses on maximum weight and cost reduction significant in airframes by developing manufacture-optimized lattice fuselage structures fulfilling fundamental aspects of airworthiness. The idea behind the ALaSCA project is to perform a comprehensive investigation starting with the beneficial geodesic design well-proven in space technology and transferring it to composite aircraft fuselage designs. The main objectives of this research programme are: a) Maximum weight and cost reduction by using lattice designs for fuselage structures. b) Development of manufacture-optimized lattice designs satisfying airworthiness requirements. c) Verification of airworthiness by manufacture and testing of representative lattice components. Since structural requirements and boundary conditions in rocket technology are quite different from those in aircraft fuselage design, the scope of this project covers the specific aspects of design, sizing, manufacture and testing of lattice structures that follow from aircraft requirements. The objectives will only be achieved when solutions to the following issues in terms of lay-out, design, sizing, manufacture, and testing are found: a) Pro-lattice aircraft configurations for maximum weight and cost savings b) Aircraft specific components treated in the lattice fuselage design. c) Lattice elements, i.e. examination in the aircraft-specific detailed design of loads from impact and internal pressure. Applying the above-mentioned methodology, the objectives will be achieved by main innovations in the following areas: a) Structural concepts for long service-life periods b) Design and dimensioning of cut-out surround structures c) Optimized floor-barrel interface. d) Barrel-barrel interface. e) Aircraft configurations reducing the demand for large cut-outs and interfaces in lattice fuselage sections. f) Process chain: preliminary design, sizing, detailed design, manufacturing, testing, validation, cost and weight analysis.
