Festival Organizers Euroscience was founded in 1997 by members of Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research community to provide an open forum for debate on science and technology and research policies in Europe, strengthen the links between science and society, contribute to the creation of an integrated space for science and technology in Europe, linking research organisations and policies at national and EU levels; strive for a greater role of the EU in research and influence science and technology policies.

This summer, Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest general science forum will take place in Denmark. For one week, science and research will be at the centre of attention, when thousands of scientists gather in Copenhagen to give inspiring lectures, and engage in discussions and events. Simultaneously, the public is invited to take part in the free festival Science in the City, where guests can test, try, and feel science themselves. The festival and the forum will take place in the Carlsberg City District.

Find out more at www.Euroscience.org The festival is for both children and adults and will be an exciting mix of events, experiments, art and performances, with the opportunity to explore every corner of the scientific universe. EuroPAWS (the European Public Awareness of Science and Technology) aims to highlight the potential for science across all genres of television and new media in Europe. Its flagship events are the annual European Science TV and New Media Festival and Awards, but it also engages in European level projects with specific goals, e.g. to develop new TV drama involving science and engineering and to highlight policy issues relating to science on television and new media, notably regarding women in science and engineering and future broadcasting strategies. Find out more at www.europaws.org

The festival is free for all guests, and around 30.000 persons are expected to be a part of this scientific highlight of the year.

Introduction from the Festival Organizers The European Science TV and New Media Festival and Awards reached its full agenda for the first time in 2012. The Festival was linked to ESOF in Dublin, but now in 2014 we are delighted to be an integral part of the “Science in the City programme” of ESOF in Copenhagen. During nearly three days of screenings, over 35 productions are vying for eight prizes. There are programmes from new countries or groupings as co-productions, and some innovative formats, which are always cherished as are the stalwarts of science broadcasting. The discussion theme this year is the environment, where two keynote talks and panel-led discussions will harness the wisdom of science/technology and media experts alike to create a genuinely cross-cultural debate. This is particularly important in an area like the environment where the general public need to be convinced about what is fact and what is opinion. The TV and audio-visual media play, of course, a pivotal role in both bringing issues to life and in reaching large swathes of the population. The international jury of scientists and TV and media people come from across Europe and include as ever the host nation, this time Denmark. The audience also have a chance to vote at the Festival on their favourite production. This is valued as adding a different perspective from that of the experts and in bolstering further the “Science in Society” brand within the festival profile. The audience have not always echoed the judgement of the professional jury. We hope that many delegates at ESOF will drop in to sample the wide variety of

films being screened, and to use the terminals to engage with some of the interactive productions. You don’t have to have seen all the films to vote, as the on-site information will explain. If TV Documentaries, Drama, interactive New Media productions, contain the “goodies” that you expect at a festival such as ours, we carved out the category we’ve called TV General Programmes to give expression to innovation in bringing science to new or different audiences. We haven’t been disappointed. New formats seem to surface each year. This year a production from Germany asks viewers to vote on whom they think is the greatest scientist from a starting line-up on ten. With the use of reconstructions as documentary or drama cameos, the viewer “meets” the scientists and gains essential insights. This is a variant of the Greatest German or Greatest Briton series – but why not? The new subject focus and style is refreshing. Another delight is a well-crafted Mathematics series from Portugal which has a light touch in communicating some good concepts. And there is another offering from the BBC’s informal magazinestyle series Science Club which is hosted by a top comedian, who happens to have started life as a physics graduate.

Following an experiment in London last year, we are introducing a parallel project related to the festival. This is for teenagers to be able to vote for their favourite Science TV documentary, from a selection of the films entered for the main festival. As the Festival coincides with exam time in many European countries including Denmark, these screenings and votes – scheduled for a number of European countries this year including Bulgaria, Portugal and Scotland – are likely to be held in the autumn. However, the overall European winner will be announced as part of the annual Awards evening for Laureates from the Festival in Lisbon on 28 November. This format of a special Awards evening in the Autumn has proved successful, if at first controversial. The rationale is to give time for all the winners to plan their visit, and to add a further European dimension. The innovative Science Centre Ciencia Viva in Lisbon saw this collaboration as an opportunity to meet both national and European goals and we are delighted to be returning there again this November. If June is a good month for Copenhagen, November in Lisbon can also provide a nice burst of warmth to attract winners from colder climates!

You have a chance to vote

In all the screenings during the 3 days of the festival a sheet will be provided for members of the audience to express their views on which is the best production. You may exercise your judgement as you see fit, but we’d like to ask you to reflect on three attributes of a science based audio-visual production: Does it convey a significant aspect of science or engineering? Does it hold your interest in terms of imagery, script, pacing and general production values?

UK Russia

Is it innovative in any significant way?

Anyone may vote as long as you are not associated with a production included in the festival, or are a jury member of course. Because the productions are so varied, you may vote for up to three productions by putting a tick by that title, and please also put an ‘X’ by all productions you have watched at the festival. This is needed to help us weigh the votes. The interpreting of the votes by the organizers will be deemed final.

Storyhouse Productions for ARTE

Dara O Briain and the Science Club team go on a journey through time. Dr Helen Czerski witnesses a recreation of a living, beating human heart that has been grown in a laboratory. Alok Jha investigates the tiny margins of winning and Professor Mark Miodownik slows down time to reveal the mysteries of explosions, solves a centuries old puzzle and shows how to see light itself. The team also encounter some time-travelling rats, explore the missing piece in the history of the universe and discover how bats might hold the secret to us all living longer.

One out of a hundred people suffers from autism. This is ten times more than in the 1980’s. The main symptoms are well known: a lack of communication and a variety of limited behaviour. However, some individuals possess exceptional skills. For a long time it was thought that autism was a result of psychological problems; a current of thought responsible for several generations of parents feeling guilty. Currently, the preferred scientific track is the genetics. There are multiple genes involved in autism, specifically mutations that could cause failures in the development of neurons. Which genes? This episode explores the issues and the hunt being conducted worldwide by researchers.

This programme offers a tour of the picturesque landscapes of Bavaria as well as presenting the work of many Bavarians passionately committed to environmental science and keeping scientific records. On the Zugspitze mountain we meet a physicist whose mission is to build a laser system for stratospheric research to gain insight into climate change. At Berchtesgarden National Park, an eagle expert investigates how paragliding affects eagle protection. In Munich, the director of the Doerner Institute has created a general ‘knowledge database’ in order to preserve museums’ works of art as well as scientific knowledge for successive generations.

University College Dublin

Geotechnologien

Two groups of scientists from Portugal join forces on a quest to find out more about Mars. They study images sent back by spacecraft, showing terrains that look like huge jigsaw puzzles of polygons. Similar terrains are found on Earth all over the Arctic. In this film we follow the team on a field campaign to Svalbard, in the summer of 2011. It is in northern Norway, up in the Arctic. The film provides a rare view behind the scenes of what it means to be a scientist today, and what drives people to research such exotic topics. It also presents cameos of what motivates young scientists to undertake such missions, the mix of challenge and scientific curiosity.

Bloodline is a short film that depicts historical selective breeding of horses for speed with a focus on Ireland’s contribution to excellence in thoroughbred horse breeding. The story features one of the world’s highest ranked racehorses horses of 2013, Dawn Approach, who represents a pinnacle of modern horse speed. Dawn Approach has the C:C genetic type, ‘The Speed Gene’, which has been selected for short distance sprint racing performance for centuries. The film focuses on the horse’s physical superiority and unique character, and captures the essence of speed using innovative filming techniques.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has been one of the most promising technologies to reduce the carbon dioxide emission. Geotechnologien produced this 90 second animation which shows what CCS is all about: carbon dioxide sequestration and injection into different geological storage sites.

Celebrating Crystallography Royal Institution / 12foot6

Journey through 100 years of crystallography from the pioneering work of William and Lawrence Bragg in 1913 to the surface of Mars! Narrated by structural biologist Stephen Curry this animation explores the remarkable history a a little-known scientific field. To date, 28 Nobel Prizes have been awarded to projects related to the field and X-ray crystallography remains the foremost technique in determining the structures of a huge range of complex molecules.

Chaos: A Mathematical Adventure

The Cosmic Rain

Chaos is a math movie with nine 13-minute chapters. It is a film about dynamical systems, the butterfly effect and chaos theory, intended for a wide audience. This episode explores vector fields through the use of Lego.

Cosmic rays are particles and radiation that reach the Earth from outer space. They reach our planet with so much energy that can cause serious damage to spacecrafts, electronics and even serious diseases on people themselves. But despite this dangerous presence, scientists are discovering in them some answers about the origin of life and the composition of the Universe.

Coup De Grace

Dangerous Self-experiment

from the series ‘Silent Witness’ BBC TV

from the series ‘Galileo’, ProSieben

When hotshot lawyer, Guy Walker, asks Nikki (a forensic scientist) to give expert pathology evidence at the court appeal of his client, David Bennetto – imprisoned for 4 years for murder – she’s taken aback by his release. But when two other teenagers are found dead days later, Nikki begins to fear she’s assisted the release of a new serial killer. Suddenly trapped in a media storm, Nikki uses her scientific skills to investigate the new murders, desperate to clear Bennetto’s name and her haunted conscience. However, as Nikki’s affiliation with Bennetto threatens to destroy her own Lab’s reputation, she’s horrified to discover the true serial killer has been hiding in plain sight.

The first cardiac catheterization in medical history was carried out in a legendary selfexperiment. In 1929 the physician Werner Forssmann tried this extreme experiment out on himself. Even though the human heart was still a mystery then and his chief physician has expressly forbidden him from doing this selfexperiment. With the help of a nurse he secretly inserted a urological catheter of about two millimeters thickness and around 32 inches long into his arm just close to his heart. This film recreates this extraordinary event and what happened thereafter. After decades of obscurity, Forssmann eventually was nominated and finally won a Nobel prize for his extreme selfexperiment.

Francoise Barre-Sinoussi: A Prize for Life

The Genius of Marie Curie BBC TV

Froggies Media for France 5

Eighteen hectares of tremendous diversity makes Serralves Park a huge habitat. There’s Life in Serralves is a six-part documentary series on the biodiversity that exists in the park, which shows us that there is more life in the city than solely the human residents. These documentaries introduce viewers to the Park’s natural heritage, including its richness in terms of biodiversity. Bats, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and butterflies are some of the animals visited in each episode. This episode also addresses the specific issue of energy.

Nobel prize winner, Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, discusses her career, patients, researchers, health workers and involvement in the fight against AIDS. Since 1992 she has directed a research laboratory at the Pasteur Institute in Paris and pursued for more than 30 years its fight against HIV. She travels regularly to Asia and Africa to be closer to patients and outbreaks. Some glimpses of her personal style in engaging different communities are interwoven with personal reflections and some banter with colleagues in her own laboratory.

Nearly 80 years after her death, Marie Curie remains by far the best known female scientist. In her lifetime, she became that rare thing, a celebrity scientist: the first woman to win the Nobel Prize and is still the only person to have won two Nobels in different sciences. This film reveals the real Marie Curie: a woman who fell in love three times, had to survive the pain of loss and the public humiliation of a doomed love affair with another leading physicist. It is a riveting portrait of a tenacious mother and scientist, who opened the door on a whole new realm of physics, which she discovered and named radioactivity.

The Little Prince & The Wind

Galaxie Presse for ARTE

Zenit Arti Audiovisive for NRK Norway, ZDF, ARTE

France Télévisions (Francetv éducation)

The discovery of stem cells in the 1980s opened the way for fresh perspectives on cellular engineering to create meat in a factory without the need for slaughtering animals. A team in the Netherlands is set to reveal the first in vitro hamburger, and an American company is developing an artificial piece of meat using ‘bioprinting’. Public research is under way as the technique may one day provide food for the entire globe and eliminate the harmful environmental effects of livestock farming and the slaughter of so many living creatures. But are these arguments strong enough to convince consumers to eat test-tube meat?

This is a provocative insight into the reasons behind the global crisis, provided by the authors of the celebrated book ‘The Limits to Growth’. it starts from the message they launched 40 years ago through the book, and calls on opinions from an interesting selection of experts. The central thesis is that unlimited growth in a finite planet will bring our society and environment into overshoot and to the edge of collapse. Is there still time for a last call? This film underlines the contention that this is a medium which can bring diverse threads together, including scientific insights, to create a powerful argument, and one which the viewers feel they must address.

Help the Little Prince to build a wind turbine for the inhabitants of the planet of the Aeolians, can illuminate and heat sustainably.

Meteor Strike

from series ‘Fascinating Earth’, ZDF

TVP2

Pioneer Productions for Channel 4

The African island Madagascar doesn’t seem to be similar to its big brother, Africa. There are no elephants, giraffes or lions and also the people, plants and landscapes seem to be from another world. Dirk Steffens starts to search for reasons for this strangeness and discovers fascinating traces and common features from destinations that are from a world far away. Madagascar shows itself as a very mysterious country – beyond Africa. But some scientific studies provide clues as to how this island’s animal and human population evolved, leading to an intriguing variety of species today..

Maria Skłodowska-Curie, a physicist and chemist, working mainly in France, is famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. She was also the first female professor at the University of Paris (La Sorbonne), and in 1995 became the first woman to be entombed on her own merits in Paris’ Panthéon. The film portraits her as an unusual woman, a warm and loving mother, a great sister. Thanks to recently found, unpublished letters of Maria we get to know some details about her family and her coworkers. In the documentary we also watch contemporary scientists talking about Maria Skłodowska-Curie’s still lasting influence.

This film looks at the human cost of the recent meteorite strike in Russia and the science that could save the world. On a cold February morning in 2013, in a remote region of Russia, the earth shook with the force of 30 Hiroshima atomic bombs. Just how could an asteroid sneak past all the world's telescopes and airburst over an unsuspecting town, blowing out windows and injuring close to 1000 people? We follow leading astrophysicists into the exclusion zone as they investigate the extraordinary series of cosmic events that led to not one but two asteroids approaching the earth that day. We also see NASA’s latest plans to defend our planet.

The Mystery of Dark Matter

Nobel’s Testament

from the series ‘How Does It Work’ TVP1

Scientifilms for ARTE

ARD Defeto for Das Erste

‘How Does It Work’ is a programme that opens doors to a parallel world that we rarely visit. The series presents the basic laws of physics and shows how the need for solving fundamental problems led scientists and inventors to construct many different devices that we use on a daily basis. The programme scrutinizes everyday appliances, such as fridges, microwave ovens, mobile phones, photo cameras and many others. Even though these devices are full of complicated electronics, they are based on fairly basic physical laws. Thanks to quite simple yet spectacular experiments, it is shown that science need not be that difficult. Many of the experiments you can even do yourself.

Scientists are facing one of the most staggering puzzles in the history of science and human knowledge. We can’t account for 95% of the universe! In the largest facilities in the world the Large Hadron Collider or LHC at CERN in Geneva, a laboratory under the Alps at Modane, and in the United States and elsewhere – researchers investigate the famous ‘dark matter’ and the ‘dark energy’ that is needed to explain the universe. The dark matter may be a new family of particles related to known matter by a special sort of symmetry predicted by theorists called Super-symmetry. But can physicists find these particles?

While covering the annual Nobel Banquet for a tabloid newspaper, crime reporter Annika Bengtzon witnesses the murder of a controversial Laureate in Medicine and the Chairman of the Nobel Committee. Annika is the key witness and is bound by the police not to disclose anything she has seen. The story of a lifetime – and she can’t write a single word. Whilst everyone else is certain that the attack is international terrorism, Annika investigates the secretive workings and power struggle within the closed circle of the Nobel Committee. Soon she learns how far some people are willing to go to get the most prestigious prize of all…

Of Conquering Species; There is No Randomness

Pain

Play to Cure: Genes in Space

KCRAFT&CO + France Television

Episode 1 of the series: Pain, Pus and Poison, BBC TV

Guerilla Tea Games Limited for Cancer Research UK

Life on earth is a matter of balance between all living organisms. Ever since humans first set out to discover and conquer the planet, they have transported species with them from one continent to another. But today, with increasing exchanges across the planet, this process of introducing species into new settings is on the verge of spinning out of control, threatening the planet’s fragile balance. They are called invading species. What are they? Why do they have such an impact? What dangers do they pose to ecosystems, to the economy and to our health? This documentary answers all these questions.

Pain has a profound effect on our bodies. When we are experiencing it, millions of nerve cells deep within our brains are firing, telling us ‘it hurts’ – and for centuries the challenge has been to find something that will lessen or even switch off these sensations to bring us relief. Dr Michael Mosley discovers just what pain is, why we want to control it and how we ultimately succeeded when the discovery of morphine, the world’s first pharmaceutical at the beginning of the 19th century, led to a 200-year journey of scientific breakthrough, discovery and selfexperimentation.

Play to Cure: Genes in Space was developed by Guerilla Tea Games in collaboration with Cancer Research UK, and was released on iOS and Android. The project is a world first - a prime example of the power of video games – showcasing how video game design and technology can be used to get through massive cancer data bottlenecks and use the collective force of gamers for good. It’s a game where simply by playing you are helping analyse gene microarray data, the results of which are collected and collated and finally used by scientists to assist in the understanding of genetic causes of cancer.

Precision: The Measure of All Things

Seven Ages of Starlight

Science Squad

BBC TV

New Decade TV Ltd for RTE One

This is the epic story of the stars, and how discovering their tale has transformed our own understanding of the universe. By carefully taking us through stars in different states, the film reveals a lot about matter and the extreme condition of much of our universe. There are old, bloated red giants, capable of gobbling up planets in their orbit; explosive deaths – supernovae - that forge the building blocks of life; and black holes, the most mysterious stellar tombstones. And, of course, stars in their prime, like our own sun. Leading astronomers reveal how the grandest drama on tonight is the one playing above our heads.

A fast moving science magazine programme presented by Aoibhinn Ni Shuilleabhain, Kathriona Devereux and Jonathan McCrea. In this episode they look at seaweed: its role in preserving biodiversity, and also in health and cosmetics. There is an investigation into an innovative treatment for sleep disorders, and a look at how cell grafts on to damaged bones can help those in sports who suffer nasty bone injuries. A new segment entitled ‘Weird Science’ looks at some lesser known features of waste water, including how willow trees are being used as wastewater treatment systems.

Open University/Big Wave TV for BBC TV

Measurement is a story that’s as old as mankind. It’s a subject that we’ve grappled with since cave dwelling times when we counted on our knuckles, and continues to perplex the greatest minds in modern science. Packed with cutting-edge science, amusing anecdotes from history and jaw-dropping examples from the modern world, this is the story of our journey from painting caves to the exploration of outer space. With experiments both modern and ancient, the series will explain how we developed the seven international units of measurement for time, length, mass, brightness, current, temperature and moles (the measurement of atoms). And how these seven have shaped the course of history, science and civilization.

episode from series ‘Galileo’ ProSieben

Ibercivis Foundation

As one of the most used methods in prospecting and Earth science research, seismic are widely known. But how does the method work? Why is it possible to detect and observe structures and dynamic processes in the deep Earth interior without digging a hole? The 90 second animation provides an insight view into the so-called seismic prospection. The guiding principle of the method as well as the major applications for seismic prospecting are presented in easy to understand pictures and texts.

Who is the biggest genius ever, who is ‘the superbrain’? The audience gets to vote for their favourite scientists during this programme. The visions and ideas of Leonardo da Vinci or Albert Einstein had a big influence on life as we know it today. In the show, 10 great scientists are ‘revived’, through documentary or drama reconstructions. They present their achievements and inventions in short films. The choice is narrowed down to three, before the winner is revealed. If it is tough for a general audience to weight the claims of scientists from different eras and subjects, the entertaining format allows the programme to be appreciated at different levels.

Citizen science is an innovative concept to involve the general public in scientific processes. One of the best ways to help people understand science is by letting them participate in scientific research and experiments. This is what citizen science tries to achieve. Cell Images Experiment intends to help a biotechnologist on his research about apoptosis, a type of programmed cell death. Successful results may lead to more accurate and effective cancer treatments. This video introduces the context of the experiment and provides a tutorial about the biotechnology basis needed to understand the work being carried out. Writer: Joe Alberto Carrodeguas Villar

Brian Cox and Dara O Briain host the second night of their three-day stargazing extravaganza from Jodrell Bank Observatory near Manchester. Liz Bonnin also attempts a world-first, reporting live from a plane 28,000 feet above the Arctic Circle, as she steps up her mission to capture the Northern Lights. Dara finds out how it feels to be truly weightless on the infamous 'vomit comet' aeroplane. Brian describes how scientists are tackling the problem of interstellar travel, and the team reveal never-before-seen images from around the solar system. Meanwhile, resident astronomer Mark Thompson navigates using the stars, and takes an unprecedented look at the 400-year-old giant storm on Jupiter, as it moves into view live during the programme.

With the participation of researchers, physicians, and patients who live on the verge between reality and hope for effective treatment, the aim of this documentary is to inform about the emerging ethical issues related to stem cell research. Stem Cells – reality and hope - is a scientific documentary focusing on ethical issues arising from stem cell research. It is a joint project of two research centres at the Portuguese Catholic University: the Bioethics Research Centre (GIB) and the Research Centre for Science and Technology of the Arts (CITAR).

The dizzying power of the revolutionary quantum computers of the future promises to turn society as we know it upside down. Such computers will challenge all forms of internet security, create new approaches to encryption that are immune to surveillance, and be capable of generating virtual realities.This film also takes us back to a legendary tram ride in Copenhagen where Einstein and Bohr immediately got into a fierce argument about the mysterious quantum world.

The Tummy; Our Second Brain

from Backlight Series, VPRO

ARTE and Scientifilms

People are changing in step with advancing technology. Google Glass is the new smartphone-with-camera-on-the-retina, that listens to spoken commands and adds a permanent, visual layer to reality. It is only the tip of the iceberg. A new generation of omnipresent cameras is creeping into everyday life and gnaws at our perception of reality. What is the influence of this advancing technology on the human experience, on feelings and memories, on our mutual relationships? Where will this advance of technology in the direction of our bodies end? Will intelligent technology take over more and more of our tasks? Or will we ourselves become machines?

A few years ago, scientists discovered the existence of a second brain in our body. There are 200 million neurons in our belly! Researchers are just beginning to decrypt the secret dialogue between these two brains. Their discovery has opened up great hopes for new therapies. Some brain disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, could have their origins traced to the stomach, being started by attacks on our intestine’s neurons. Even more astonishingly, our second brain contains a spectacular colony of a hundred thousand billion bacteria whose activity has an impact on our personality, our choices, and our shyness or recklessness. This discovery of a new intelligence in our belly makes researchers begin to admit that our brain is not quite the only one being in command.

The wings of cliff swallows in Nebraska are getting shorter while turtles in Chesapeake Bay are getting larger. On the Galapagos Islands, different species are collapsing back into one. What has happened to evolution? The answer is very simple: Us. Humans have transformed the planet beyond recognition, turning grasslands and forests into fields and cities, and polluting air and water. And his film explores how all of these changes have altered the course of evolution, often in surprising ways.

In Germany around 20% of all children and adolescents display behavioural problems to a level where they need to undergo psychiatric assessment. In addition to these psychological behavioural problems, there are another 2 to 5% of children who display psychosomatic problems; so about 25% in all. Approximately half of these require treatment. The figures are similar for France, Italy and the UK. In nearly every society mental illness in children is overlooked, and is a taboo subject. Prejudice surrounds mental illness and gives rise to children being stigmatized. But children's behavioural problems are not a modern day phenomenon. The documentary presents the most common psychological behavioural problems in children and shows the modern day therapies.

The Panel Keynote speaker: Professor Dorthe Dahl-Jensen A major research interest of Professor Dahl-Jensen is the reconstruction of climate records from ice cores and borehole data. Ice flow models are used to date ice cores. A speciality is the continuum mechanical properties of anisotropic ice. Other interests are Ice in the solar system, and the history and evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Professor Dahl-Jensen leads several research initiatives in these areas. The Centre of Excellence for Ice and Climate uses ice core data to gain knowledge on the climate in past warm climate periods, especially the Eemian period 130.000 years to 115.000 years ago. The newly granted ERC program WATERundertheICE uses radio echo sounding data together with ice flow models to map the water under the ice and understand the water’s impact on the evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The research group leads the NEEM deep drilling project on the Greenland Ice Sheet with the purpose of drilling ice from the past warm climate periods.
