Firmly supported by local, regional and national media, the awareness campaign Waters' Might introduces the project "Noc ima svojo moc" (NOCMOC) to Slovenian and other EU citizens. The core objectives of the NOCMOC project is to raise awareness about the research and its benefits, overcome stereotypes, stimulate curiosity and excite youngsters to take up the research careers. Efficient communication tools, successfully used in previous project editions, TV and radio broadcasts, press-releases in printed and social media tend to reach over 700.000 people. Generated by past experiences, the awareness campaign will explore Waters and include 1.200 groups, families and individuals to participate in Citizens Science project. Citizens' contribution to the research methodology practice will be implemented by the use "hands-on" and/or other research tools in a basic and user-friendly way. Previous NOCMOC editions have developed a strong and sustainable growing network of interested partnering institutions in more than 25 cities in Slovenia, attracting even other EU cities in a year of Slovenian presidency of the European Union Council. The project will bring together over 40 research-related institutions to raise awareness about research and innovation, its relevance to implement the Green Dealgoals, its social and economic benefits, and its variety of careers. We aim for 35.000 visitors from different target groups to participate in the NOCMOC activities spread all over Slovenia. Over 200 activities: science festivals on the main squares of four Slovenian cities, science shows, simulations, research and technical days in primary and secondary schools, lectures and workshops in public spaces (libraries, retirement homes, museums), science espressos, STEAM events, EU corners, on-line events and open doors of science, research and cultural institutions will attract the audience from dawn to late evening on 24th of September 2021.

The main objective of the GIMS project is to build and commercialize an advanced low-cost system based on EGNSS, Copernicus SAR and other in-situ sensors, like inertial measurement units, for the purpose of monitoring ground deformations with a focus on landslides and subsidence. The system will recover deformations with millimetric level accuracies and daily acquisition rate. Moreover the integration of in-situ accelerometers will give real-time alerts in case of sudden movements. Finally the low-cost infrastructure deployed for the landslide monitoring can be used as collector of environmental data for smart grids purposes. The observations of these three different monitoring techniques, namely EGNSS, SAR and accelerometers, are complementary in time and space and can be integrated to obtain a better understanding of the monitored processes and a more complete knowledge of the deformation phenomenon. The project involves researchers and industrial developers from different fields: radiofrequency analysis and related hardware design, telecommunications, SAR and GNSS data analysis, accelerometers signal processing, geostatistics, geology. Significant effort will be put in the cooperation between different areas and in the interface between different products and technologies. The overall purpose of the GIMS project is to have detailed and timely knowledge of the geophysical behaviour of parts of the Earth surface, and its hindrances on structures, in order to mitigate casualties and injuries to the population, and better plan maintenance intervention.

Engaging local, regional and national media, an introduction with awareness campaign Soil' Might will bring the project NOCMOC [NIGHTMIGHT] to Slovenian and other EU citizens for the fifth time. The core objectives of the project is to raise awareness about the research and its benefits, overcome stereotypes, stimulate curiosity and excite youth to take up the research careers. Efficient communication tools, successfully used in previous project editions, TV, radio, social media and press conferences will address 1.500.000 citizens during the project. The awareness campaign will explore Soil and include 3.000 groups, families and individuals to participate in Citizens Science project. Citizens' contribution to the basic research methodology of the real research project will be implemented by use of »hands-on« and other research tools in a simple and user friendly manner. Previous editions have developed a growing network of supporting partners in more than 25 cities in Slovenia and cooperation with Italian ERN SHARPER with which it attracts youth research career paths with EU dimension events. The NIGHT will bring together over 66 research-related institutions, raise awareness about research and innovation, its relevance to implement the Green Deal goals, its social and economic benefits and enhance a variety of research careers for 100 researchers, visiting 140 schools. We aim for 74.000 visitors from different target groups to take part in the NOCMOC activities spread all over Slovenia. Over 200 activities: science festivals on the main squares of four Slovenian cities, science shows, simulations, research and technical days in primary and secondary schools, lectures and workshops in public spaces (libraries, retirement homes, museums), science espressos, STEAM events, EU corners, on-line events and open doors of science, research and cultural institutions will attract the audience from dawn to late evening each last Friday in September two years in a row.
