CS Track - systematically investigating Citizen Science

CS Track is a new European research project which will broaden our knowledge about Citizen Science and the impact Citizen Science activities can have in order to maximise their potential benefit on individual citizens, organisations, and society at large.
Citizen science varies greatly and there appears to be little agreement about the forms it can take, what activities are called citizen science? how are citizen science projects conducted? what are their societal, economic, educational and scientific effects? who participates in such projects? how and why?

Cockpit

Social services are under pressure: the number of people who are dependent on care and support is increasing. At the same time, the challenges for the providers of social services (e.g., outpatient or inpatient care services, care and support in daily life) are high: more and more demand of social services - fewer and fewer people who see their careers in organizations of social services. In addition, the economic pressure is increasing: Social services have to pay off!

FLEXMEDIA

The publishing and media industry is affected by a fundamental structural crisis. Basis of technological developments are established and highly profitable business models under tremendous pressure to change. The goal of the project is the development and testing of a guideline for the development of "digital" strategies and for the management of discontinuities (e.g. transition from offline to online media) for the media and publishing industry.

JuxtaLearn

Technology can be a tool to facilitate learning but it can also support looking at our world in different ways. Within disciplines such as the humanities arts and languages the creativity in learning comes from the students re-applying their understanding through developing stories, evidenced narratives and artistic representations. However, in STEM subjects the creativity is often implemented by the teacher on the students.

Ultimately our approaches to STEM learning itself needs to be dramatically altered so that they are relevant for students of the future.  This requires changing the situation and expectations of what STEM learning is. Juxtalearn can be one piece in supporting us to do that.

LocalMobile.NRW

Provides development of an intelligent location-based mobile application that context-sensitive information and Web 2.0 features for the user. Other projects of members of the RIAS: KoPIWA skills development and process support in `open innovation 'networks in the IT industry through knowledge modeling and analysis.

SESAM - Specific activation of immigrant businesses in the Lower Rhine region

In the Lower Rhine region (city of Duisburg, Kreis Kleve, Wesel), the share of international companies is above average, almost one in ten companies - around 5,000 in total - has an international background. They have a permanent and important place in the economy, and help that many jobs will be created. On the Lower Rhine are mainly Turkish, Dutch, Polish, Italian or Russian companies or companies where management has a corresponding background. A large variety that should be exploited!
