WHAT IF . . .? Two short words, one fascinating question and many different answers. It’s an interesting notion when considering the past, for example, although one often tinged with regret, implying that perhaps things could have turned out better. When looking into the future, however, the same question generally prompts thoughts of great optimism and excitement, of wonder at what could be possible if we really put our minds to it.


This year, iMinds The Conference is asking that question, but as you would expect, the focus is well and truly fixed on the future, on a world of invention and innovation, on a world of possibilities driven by ICT.


Insight is delighted to be a Media Partner at the event, once again supporting iMinds in its can-do attitude to invention with an array of media coverage that will help bring the debate and interaction, the research and the innovation, the opportunities and the collaborations to as wide an audience as possible. We will be at the event in Brussels, offering live news feeds of the main sessions and from the exhibition floor, as well as live video interviews with many of the key delegates, speakers and researchers involved in driving ICT development in Europe and beyond. You can see all this on the Projects website, www.projectsmagazine.eu.com


This publication will be at the event, too, adding the many hundreds of delegates to our already impressive and targeted circulation. This gives us the opportunity to highlight the brilliant work of those projects we feature in this edition to even more people looking to make the most of ICT in all aspects of research and innovation.


Projects Magazine is always looking to promote the very best research in Europe and not just ICT research. We strive to provide projects from many thematic areas a platform from which to publicise their aims and objectives, their methodology and their results. As well as appearing in the publication, Insight also provides all these projects with a full communications strategy that delivers real impact. Most recently, the CRISPR project attracted widespread coverage in European mainstream newspapers following Insight’s publicity drive (see the original article on page 54), while the MINTWELD project has been approached by potential investors following Insight’s communication with our specialist database.


Meanwhile, we also offer all our projects the opportunity to feature in the SEED Research Library, with their very own project SEED. You can find out more about this exciting tool at www.seedresearchlibrary.com, (and on page 12 of this edition) and discover all about what is fast becoming Europe’s most valuable research dissemination resource.

As well as our focus on iMinds in this edition, we have also developed a special focus on Dutch research, providing a quick snapshot of some of the very best research in the country, which, of course, is a hotbed of creativity and innovation.
