These subjects should, therefore, be particularly effective in making people aware of the importance of science and technology and of their impact on society. The project will provide European citizens with a deeper understanding of the nature of energy (its transformations, exploitation current problems and future scenarios) and of semiconductors and semiconductor technology together with an appreciation of their impact on modern society. This will be achieved through the development of a web portal where everyone can find information about scientific and technological issues in multimedia format. The portal will provide access to versions of the following multimedia: -La conquista dell'energia, produced by the INFM (currently in Italian, will be translated into French, English, Spanish and German); -L'energia e le sue trasformazioni, produced by the INFM, in English, Spanish and Italian;-Dal silicio al Computer, produced by the INFM, in English, Spanish and Italian; Users will also have access to a network of scientific experts who have agreed to answer users' questions. The objectives of the project are to explain the impact of scientific and technological advances and their applications, benefits and limits to the general public and to young students, in order to make scientific and technological knowledge more readily accessible to them, taking advantage of the effectiveness of a multimedia approach, and to stimulate young people's interest in scientific careers. Throughout, due attention is paid to historical and multidisciplinary perspectives. The portal will be launched at the European S.&T. Week 2004, at other public exhibitions, and used, as a didactic tool, in EU schools. The partners will use their own diffusion networks and resources to publicise and disseminate the service as much as possible. INOLTRE, RIPORTO ANCHE LA DESCRIZIONE IN INLGLESE DEL PROGETTO COSI' COME APPARE NEL SITO INTERNET di WESPA (riportato sopra, all'interno del portale informando). (Preso dal sito internet del portale sopra riportato: si tratta dell' articolo introduttivo al progetto ed ai multimediali inseriti in lingua inglese. Non è stato pubblicato in nessun volume quindi NON è propriamente un abstract. Lo riporto in questa casella in quanto serve da descrizione esauriente del portale) The European project W.E.S.P.A. (A Web portal on Energy and Semiconductors for Public Awareness) provides the general public with a deeper understanding of (1) the nature of energy, its transformations and exploitation, its current problems and future scenarios, and (2) the nature of semiconductors and their applications. These topics, which impact on all of us in our everyday lives, are constantly kept in the public domain in modern societies through the media and political and public debate. The aim of the "WESPA" portal is to promote a more critical awareness of the issues involved and to provide scientifically rigorous information in a user-friendly and entertaining multimedia package. The multimedia programmes within WESPA have been created and disseminated by "Informando", the CNR-INFM (National Research Council - National Institute for the Physics of Matter) dissemination and didactic team based in Parma, Italy. (http://informando.infm.it). The components are: "The Conquest of Energy", available in Italian, French, English, Spanish and German; "Energy and its transformations", available in Italian, English and Spanish; "From Silicon to the Computer", available in Italian, English and Spanish. Furthermore, WESPA provides anyone viewing the site with a lot of information about renewable energy sources. A linked site, "Di nuovo Energia" ('About new forms of energy'), offers a journalistic service which is periodically updated (http://informando.infm.it/dinuovoenergia/). The WESPA portal also has a link to the Danish Wind Industry Association's web site (www.windpower.org), where you can find topics about wind energy. WESPA has been funded by the EU within the "Sixth Framework Programme - Science and Society". It was publicly launched during the "European Science and Technology Week 2004". One of its important purposes is to serve as a didactic tool in European schools.

Non è stato pubblicato in nessun volume quindi NON è propriamente un abstract. Lo riporto in questa casella in quanto serve da descrizione esauriente del portale) Il progetto europeo W.E.S.P.A. (a Web portal for Energy and Semiconductor Public Awareness) intende fornire al grande pubblico gli strumenti per una comprensione approfondita sull' energia, le sue trasformazioni e i suoi impieghi, e sui semiconduttori e le loro applicazioni. Questi temi ricorrono nella società attraverso i media, nei dibattiti pubblici, ma anche nella vita quotidiana di tutti i cittadini. Al fine di promuovere un atteggiamento critico e consapevole è nato il portale europeo "WESPA", dove è possibile trovare informazioni scientificamente corrette, in una veste divertente ed accattivante. I prodotti multimediali accessibili attraverso il portale "WESPA", ideati dal gruppo "Informando" di divulgazione e didattica dell' Istituto Nazionale per la Fisica della Materia (INFM), Gruppo di Parma (http://informando.infm.it), sono: - "La conquista dell'energia" disponibile in Italiano, francese, inglese, spagnolo e tedesco; - "L'energia e le sue trasformazioni" disponibile in inglese, spagnolo e italiano; - "Dal silicio al Computer" disponibile in inglese, spagnolo e italiano. Attraverso il portale "WESPA" sarà, inoltre, possibile accedere al sito prodotto dalla Danish Wind Industry Association (www.windpower.org), che affronta i temi legati all'energia eolica. Infine, il progetto W.E.S.P.A. propone ai cittadini una pagina di informazione sulle fonti energetiche innovative: il sito si chiama "Di Nuovo Energia", è accessibile dal portale "WESPA" e fornisce un servizio giornalistico periodicamente aggiornato (http://informando.infm.it/dinuovoenergia/) Il portale "WESPA", finanziato all'Unione Europea nell'ambito del "Sesto Programma Quadro - Science and Society", vuole soprattutto essere uno strumento didattico per le scuole d'Europa, e verrà presentato durante la Settimana Europea della Cultura Scientifica e Tecnologica 2004 in un incontro ufficiale con il grande pubblico.
