The main idea of RiNG.BA.13 is based on connection (RiNG) between otherwise separated units of BiH (.BA), uniting organizations from essentially different sectors with the one aim – to build a bridge between researchers and “normal” people in 2013 (.13) and it also has references to horror elements (RING, 13) which will be effectively incorporated into the communication strategy. Overall objective of RiNG.BA.13 is to enhance researchers' public recognition in BiH notably through offering the public at large the opportunity of discovering the “human face” of research via direct interactions with the researchers, as well as understanding the impact of research on their daily lives. RiNG.BA.13 will be organized with common theme “Science Horror” in both cities. RiNG.BA.13 specific objectives are: (i) Bringing researchers and public at large closer to one another, contributing in such way to their increased mutual knowledge and reciprocal understating; (ii) Illustrating the fun and fascinating aspects of science and research; (iii) Stimulate young people to embark on scientific careers; (iv) Stressing the societal importance of research, including for citizens' daily lives and wellbeing, and illustrating potential “horror” scenarios, e.g. asteroid crash or virus outbreak; (v) Pointing out the European support in favour of Researchers and research, and stressing the importance of European and international cooperation in research. RiNG.BA.13 quantitative targets are: - Total number of people to be reached through awareness raising campaign in BiH: 200.000; - Expected number of direct attendees to RiNG.BA.13 events: 10.000.

The Arctic area presents some of the main societal challenges that currently face Europe and the world and has come to represent the critical environmental changes that are affecting our planet, from the forces of nature and questions about future food security to technology and innovation, as well as the socioeconomic alterations that are affecting our global community. In order to tackle these challenges from a scientific point of view, the role of researchers at the edge of the Arctic becomes ever more important and it is clear that science and innovation will be crucial in taking on those challenges through knowledge, creativity and innovation. The central concept of the Arctic Edge proposal is to focus on research and the role of researchers at edge of the Arctic and look at how a changing environment is providing researchers with endless new topics and challenges, from the natural sciences to the societal implications of natural and environmental changes, and invite them to engage with the public at large to communicate their work and enthusiasm. The objective is to influence a more positive public perception of researchers as persons by portraying their many facets and facilitate active dialogue between scientists and guests at Researchers’ Night.

This project aims at continuation of the current EUROPRACTICE 2012 service. The current EUROPRACTICE 2012 Service project, part of the 7th Framework and ending on 30 June 2013, is widely recognized as a world-leading service offering state-of-the-art CAD tools and microelectronics-based technologies to universities and industry. Today, through the EC funding of the EUROPRACTICE 2012 project, 650 European Academia (515 universities and 135 research centers) have access to this Service. Continuation of this service is considered indispensable (strong support letters from 130 Academia) as universities need to be able to renew their annual CAD licenses for continuing support of their research and training courses and need to get further IC prototyping services for their EC-funded research projects. The proposal covers 3 years and 3 months of operation (1 July 2013 until 30 September 2016). The objectives are offering access to CAD tools for training and research, and access to advanced IC and More-than-Moore technologies for prototyping. As a broker, EUROPRACTICE negotiates low cost conditions with the most popular industry-standard CAD vendors for educational use and non-commercial research within the 650 European Academia. EUROPRACTICE has negotiated with several foundries agreements to buy or share low cost MPW (Multi Project Wafer) runs in order to offer low cost prototype possibilities to universities and research institutes in advanced IC and More-than-Moore technologies. Also discussions will continue with other European “service” providers, initiated by EC funded projects, in order to make them available to the Europractice member Academia. As such, the IC service will be further extended with prototyping possibilities in MEMS and Photonics-like technologies. Dedicated training courses, developed by the partners either through previous EC-funded projects like IDESA and STIMESI, or by themselves, will be organized for the benefit of the 650 institutions.

Gravity is successfully described by Einstein’s theory of general relativity (GR), governing the structure of our entire universe. Yet it remains the least understood of all forces in nature, resisting unification with quantum physics. One of the most fundamental predictions of GR are black holes (BHs). Their defining feature is the event horizon, the surface that light cannot escape and where time and space exchange their nature. However, while there are many convincing BH candidates in the universe, there is no experimental proof for the existence of an event horizon yet. So, does GR really hold in its most extreme limit? Do BHs exist or are alternatives needed? Here we propose to build a Black Hole Camera that for the first time will take an actual picture of a BH and image the shadow of its event horizon. We will do this by providing the equipment and software needed to turn a network of existing mm-wave radio telescopes into a global interferometer. This virtual telescope, when supplemented with the new Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA), has the power to finally resolve the supermassive BH in the centre of our Milky Way – the best-measured BH candidate we know of. In order to compare the image with the theoretical predictions we will need to perform numerical modelling and ray tracing in GR and alternative theories. In addition, we will need to determine accurately the two basic parameters of the BH: its mass and spin. This will become possible by precisely measuring orbits of stars with optical interferometry on ESO’s VLTI. Moreover, our equipment at ALMA will allow for the first detection of pulsars around the BH. Already a single pulsar will independently determine the BH’s mass to one part in a million and its spin to a few per cent. This unique combination will not only produce the first-ever image of a BH, but also turn our Galactic Centre into a fundamental-physics laboratory to measure the fabric of space and time with unprecedented precision.

The Internet has evolved from a mere communication network used by tens of millions of users two decades ago, to a global multimedia platform for communication, social networking, entertainment, education, trade and political activism used by more than two billion users. This transformation has brought tremendous benefits to society, but has also created entirely new threats to privacy, safety, law enforcement, freedom of information and freedom of speech. In today’s Internet, principals are amorphous, identities can be fluid, users participate and exchange information as peers, and data is processed on global third-party platforms. Existing models and techniques for security and privacy, which assume trusted infrastructure and well-defined policies, principals and roles, fail to fully address this challenge. The imPACT project addresses the challenge of providing privacy, accountability, compliance and trust (PACT) in tomorrow’s Internet, using a cross-disciplinary and synergistic approach to understanding and mastering the different roles, interactions and relationships of users and their joint effect on the four PACT properties. The focus is on principles and methodologies that are relevant to the needs of individual Internet users, have a strong potential to lead to practical solutions and address the fundamental long-term needs of the future Internet. We take on this challenge with a team of researchers from relevant subdisciplines within computer science, and with input from outside experts in law, social sciences, economics and business. The team of PIs consists of international leaders in privacy and security, experimental distributed systems, formal methods, program analysis and verification, and database systems. By teaming up and committing ourselves to this joint research, we are in a unique position to meet the grand challenge of unifying the PACT properties and laying a new foundation for their holistic treatment.

The consumption of large amounts of multilingual and multimedia content regardless of its reliability and cross-validation can have important consequences on the society. An indicative example is the current crisis of the financial markets in Europe, which has created an extremely unstable ground for economic transactions and caused insecurity in the population. The fact that the national mass media provide exaggerated and contradictory information and the inaptness to understand local contexts from different countries has a considerable share in the aggravation of the crisis. To break this spiral, we need multilingual technologies with sentiment, social and spatiotemporal competence that are able to interpret, relate and summarize economic information and news created from various local subjective and biased views and disseminated via TV, radio, mass media websites and social media. To address these challenges, MULTISENSOR will mine heterogeneous data from the aforementioned resources and apply multidimensional content integration. MULTISENSOR will go beyond the state of the art by proposing the following scientific objectives: a) content distillation of heterogeneous multimedia and multilingual data; b) sentiment and context analysis of content and social interactions; c) semantic integration of heterogeneous multimedia and multilingual data; d) semantic reasoning and intelligent decision support; e) multilingual and multimodal summarization and presentation of the information to the user. In order to achieve multidimensional integration of heterogeneous resources, MULTISENSOR proposes a content integration framework that builds upon multimedia mining, knowledge extraction, analysis of computer-mediated interaction, topic detection, semantic and multimodal representation as well as hybrid reasoning. The developed technologies will be validated with the aid of 2 main use cases: a) International mass media news monitoring and b) SME international investments.
