In September 2013 we successfully organized Researcher’s Night 2013 with a goal to promote science, scientists and their results. The event was organized in collaboration with Faculty of Information Studies Novo mesto and National Institute of Biology within the 7FP “REsearchers for NAture preservation and TECHnology use for the benefit of the society (RENATECH)” project. “Researchers contributing to the nature preservation and the technology applications for the benefit of the society” was the major focus of the Researcher’s Night 2013 in Slovenia. In order to reach the specific objective of bringing researchers closer to the public at large the Researcher’s Night was organized at different locations in Ljubljana (Congress Square, National Institute of Biology, Šentvid High School, Ljubljansko barje Landscape Park), Novo mesto (Faculty of Information Studies) and Piran (Marine Biology Station. The event was widely recognized by the broader society what proved that there is definitely the lack of the projects and events with similar contents and that scientists are keen to share their experience with their colleagues and in this way stimulate the young who are just at the beginning of their career. The estimated total number of visitors at all venues was around 6000. The event received big attention in national media (national TV and radio, POP TV, etc.).

Programme research and development activities were integrated into activities of the UNITE and RENATECH projects from the 7th Framework Programme of EU, STORK 2.0 and e-SENS from the CIP programme and SELPRAF from the Leonardo da Vinci programme. In 2013 we also obtained 4 new projects (EmployID, Courage, Redirnet, DFET) from the FP7 and CIPS/ISEC programmes. Two of them (EmployID and Courage) were the top-ranked projects from over 100 project proposals in the respected areas (technology enhanced learning and security).
D.01 Chairing over/coordinating (international and national) projects
In November 2013 we co-organized with the TwinTide project in Bled an international autumn training school TUTOREM for PhD students from the HCI field. The overarching goal of TUTOREM was to improve participants’ understanding of significant research methods commonly or increasingly used in the field of HCI. Such an enhanced understanding will enable them to select and combine appropriate research methods for their specific HCI projects and to contextualise them without unintended impacts on validity. The TUTOREM School was attended by 32 PhD students and 7 professors from all over Europe
