The main idea of TRAiL (Taste the ReseArchers’ Life) is to show that researchers are human beings belonging to one big research family integrated in the European society. The project is a trip of imagination and scientific rigor to understand what attracts to pursue a scientific career and why a young should choose to be a researcher through events that show how researchers feel the world around them. TRAiL would like to be a path to tackle the stereotypes about researchers via a variety of events in direct contact with the general public, showing their real face and enhancing the researchers’ role inside society. The project is articulated in harmonically and well-equilibrated informal, pleasant, enjoyable and attractive activities linked with science. Several edutainment activities and events addressed to the public at large will be organized with researchers being actively involved and directly in contact with the visitors in order to: promote the European dimension of researchers, valorise the job researcher, enhance researchers’ integration, reinforce the link between researchers and citizens and promote scientific careers among young people. The TRAiL project is organized by researchers and citizen of Frascati Scienza association, and is hosted in the largest research area in Italy where more than 3000 international researchers live and work. The event will be performed and hosted in the laboratories of the most important Italian institutions ASI, CNR, ENEA, ESA-ESRIN, INAF, INFN and INGV located in the south of Rome, the three Universities of Rome Sapienza, Tor Vergata and Roma Tre, the European Gravitational Observatory in Pisa and the Gran Sasso Laboratory of INFN. Frascati Scienza is supported in the project from many local, regional and national institutions and has a long experience in managing successfully the Researchers’ Night, that has organized since 2006, as well as many other science communication activities designed and performed by researchers

Progress in a wide range of disciplines relies on the development of novel instrumentation. Pushing the limits of analytical equipment results in benefits, for example, through the discovery of illness biomarkers. This project is framed in the field of instrumentation development, in particular for the detection of vapors in real time, and with high sensitivity. Here, we propose to join the expertise of an engineering SME (SEADM) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) to address four main S&T developments: i) Delivery of pre-marketable ionization sources that ultimately will be commercialized as an add-on for pre-existing mass spectrometers (MS). This will represent a cost-effective option for researchers willing to transform their MS systems into efficient detectors of vapors. During this developmental program, we will gain insights into the ionization mechanism of secondary electrospray ionization (SESI), which is the technique at the core of the add-ons to be delivered; ii) SEADM has recently proposed (patented) a SESI source capable of detecting minute gas-samples (parts per quadrillion in the gas phase, equivalent to a few femtograms). We will develop improved SESI ionizers, will couple them to various MS systems, and will use one MS available at ETH to investigate its potential in the analysis of single cell metabolomics; SEADM has developed an ion mobility spectrometer (dubbed DMA), which can be readily interfaced with pre-existing MS instruments. iii) Based on this precedent, a third instrumental development will be a SESI-DMA-MS system iv) suitable for the rapid screening of volatiles in ambient air. Such a platform would complement current commercial alternatives. This plan will be accomplished through the bidirectional exchange of knowledge. As a result, SEADM will ultimately strengthen its position in the market. The ETH will benefit by having access to novel state-of-the-art instrumentation.

Researchers contributing to the nature preservation and the technology applications for the benefit of the society is the major focus of the coordinated ReNATECH action in performing the Researchers night 2013 in Slovenia. The events in Slovenia will take place on 27th September 2013 in: - Ljubljana, organized by Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) (central area of Slovenia); - Novo mesto, organized by Faculty of Information Studies (FIS) (Southeast Slovenia region); - Piran and Piran bay, organized by National Institute of Biology (NIB). The main idea of the Researchers night is to bring the researchers and their work as close as possible to the largest general public by use of means such as direct exchanges of ideas and views within workshops and public presentations or experiments demonstration, in many direct outdoor interactive activities. Among the goals of ReNATECH is one of special importance - presenting the researchers as ordinary people and as our closest and best neighbours to anybody from the wide public invited to attend the event. Activities that are planned will enable the wide public audience to identify itself with the researchers life and to promote science in a firm expectation that the passed message to the young people will embark them on scientific careers. In addition the activities will be prepared in a way that will enable the visitors to share the researchers hopes and dreams for better life and preserved and blossoming nature with help of science. Their hobbies, concerns, visions and their everyday life as ordinary people will be presented as well. Children and adults addressed within the ReNATECH activities will have the opportunity to understand science by experiencing its day-to-day practices, by frequenting the spaces and places where research is carried out and by coming into contact with its machinery and equipment, but above all by talking to those directly involved in scientific research that brings benefit to the society.

Science in the City is a Science and Arts Festival that strives to show the public how research is a creative and exciting activity. The streets and buildings of Malta capital city, Valletta will be filled with the wonders of science through art, cultural and entertaining activities. Using this approach we aim to build on last year's success by reaching all of the Maltese Islands' population through a comprehensive awareness campaign and attracting 18,000 people to Researchers' Night. Our aim is to create a unique spectacle that will celebrate the Better living theme we have chosen for this festival. It links research with everyday life sending the message that research contributes to an improved lifestyle. The broad theme includes researchers from all scientific fields: from life science to engineering, physics to our environment. Researchers have already collaborated with artists to create captivating ideas on how to engage the public with their work through art and performance. This attractive platform will present researchers at every activity to discuss scientific research directly to the public. Their presence will help dispel misconceptions about scientists and their careers, while encouraging science career uptake. Our target audience is the general Maltese public, but we will target specific groups such as; families with children; adolescents; youths, adults and pensioners. Each age group will find activities that interest them, a kids’ area will be set up, science music concerts, plays for adults and teenagers, interactive experiments, science cafes and much more. Three EU corners, including one specifically for children, will disseminate information about EU activities and research, coupled with career advice experiments and edutainment to make this a truly memorable Researchers' Night in Malta.

"Science: The Great Escape" is an event designed to create the public perception of science as something that is not only confined to the laboratory. We intend to stage the event as a getaway of research from its own environment and to bring it centre-stage, in public places in four major Romanian cities: Bucharest, Craiova, Iaşi and Timişoara (combined population 3,5 million). The concept will be fully integrated in the organization of the event, allowing us to put together a really creative awareness campaign, to use original outdoor advertising, to use it as a pretext to gain a better understanding of science (in order to identify something, you must know what is science and what is not), to use the same idea to design the stage of the science shows and, last, but not least, to portray scientists as people trying to better understand not something abstract, in the laboratory, but the world around us itself. The main attraction will be the various open air activities organized by researchers themselves in public squares and shopping malls. In addition to that, the participants will also be able to take guided laboratory tours, to visit science photography exhibitions and to gain a better understanding of the most important EU funded scientific project to be set up in Romania: ELI - Nuclear Physics. The target audience for all locations include pupils, students, teachers, parents and grand parents, no matter theirs background or science skills, with special attention devoted to gender equality. We will encourage and attract pupils and persons from rural regions, kids with special educational needs, kids from the gifted education programme and theirs trainers. By means of a well developed media plan, including social media tools, during the awareness campaign we expect that more that 300000 people will know precise data about our project: locations, hours, proposed activities. In all proposed locations we expect a total number of participants higher than 10.000.

It looks, sounds, tastes, smells and feels good to be a researcher! The main objective of “FAWORIT 2013” is to overcome and change the prevailing stereotypes about researchers and contribute to the enhancement of their public recognition by showing research(ers) through our senses. We would like to present how researchers help us to face our common responsibilities and possibilities of the future and to attract our attention to their work. We also intend to address the future generation and show the attractiveness of research career – this year with a special, interactive, audio-visual show brought to music festivals. We focus on the target group from the age of 10 to 24, but we aim to address all age groups with attractive programmes. The series of events at 10 locations will focus on the Researcher through his/her career and the lively tastes of scientific life. The public will be “edutained” during the Night: scientific presentations will be mixed with entertaining elements. There is going to be e.g. a Scientific DJ Show, exhibition of researchers’ hobbies, shooting with a laser gun and HiTech Pub. The target audience can thus discover that the life of the researcher is fascinating, cool and attractive. Our objective is to have around 15,000 visitors at the events, but a multiple of that number (around 500,000) will see, hear or read about the Night. We are planning to raise awareness of the European engagement in R&D&I. In the European Corners and at each venue related programmes of the European Union will be visible. The structure of the consortium (stakeholders from academia and industry, from non-profit and for-profit organisations, with the contributing participation of schools, a cluster, a multinational company and a media partner), the elaborated concept/workplan and the involvement of strategic media partners will guarantee the success of the project.

The NEAR (Noth EAst Researchers’ Night) project aims to bring the researchers closer to the public at large. The overall concept of the project is based on the idea of researchers as storytellers giving them the unique opportunity to disclose to everybody the benefits of research, but also themselves and their own story. The storytelling will directly involve the public in a creative and informal manner creating a bidirectional relationship. The project involve eight partners and many institutions located in five cities of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions, both belonging to the North-East Area of Italy: Verona, Padova, Venezia, Trieste and Udine. The previous experiences of European Researchers’ Night organised by the partners is a solid ground for the design and implementation of the NEAR project. During the night of 27th September 2013 several common and local activities will take place in each city, following a common structure based on these four categories: - “Researchers tell about themselves”: researchers will introduce themselves, their life and their interests, ideas and opinions; - “Let’s play…”: recreational events with the active participation of researchers and citizens; - “Around the World in 80 portraits”: an event that highlights the international dimension of research; - “The researchers' wonderland”: through this activities researchers will show where they work, what is research and which is the daily dimension of research. The project will address the general public with a special attention to the younger generations and to entrepreneurs, since we consider research as a great occupational opportunity and a pivotal element for a smart and inclusive growth. Also the impact assessment will be focused on general public satisfaction with a particular attention to those specific groups. The communication campaign aiming at reach about 2.000.000 and more than 30.000 attendees are expected.

Human cognition reflects the necessities of living in social groups transmitting cultural knowledge. Human minds are, richly and deeply, social minds. Working together we aim to better understand social minds by testing a new integrated theory with innovative methodologies. Joint action and communication both build and exploit common ground. At a basic level common ground is tied to shared perceptions and shared action repertoires allowing joint activities. At a second level, established through ostensive communication, common ground includes also general knowledge of enduring relevance. These two levels have been studied separately. We hypothesize that joint action exploits forms of ostension found at the second level, and that ostensive communication draws on forms of coordination found at the first level. Through our integrated study of the two levels we aim to redefine the relation between coordination, communication, and cultural transmission. Our common program will close gaps between research that has focused on the processes and representations that enable joint action (Call, Knoblich) and research that has addressed intentional communication and its role in cultural transmission (Gergely, Sperber). It will integrate the study of a) embodied cognitive mechanisms for interpersonal coordination, b) shared intentions and shared task representations, c) ostensive communication, d) natural pedagogy, and e) how all of the above provide the micro-mechanisms of cultural transmission. Integrating the four PIs’ research programs will also lead to methodological synergies. We will develop and use in a converging manner experimental procedures for the comparison of infant, children, human adult and primate data, models of cultural evolution, and novel ways of eliciting and using anthropological evidence, leading to a transfer of methodological knowledge and practices across fields.
