2. Products qualifying for participation

All Ubimedia products or product and service concepts which have been finalized during the previous year after 1st January 2008 are eligible to take part in the competition.

An example of a suitable competition entry is a finished product, product pilot or demo. No drafts or mere ideas without relevant documentation will be accepted.

The competition rules do not place limitations on the technology used in the products.

Each entry should be in form of a video documenting the submission (approx. 3-5 minutes, however also longer videos will be accepted). The video should clearly indicate how the demonstration, production pilot, or demonstration works and relates to ubiquitous media.

In addition to the video, a short English-language based description of the concept should be attached to the competition entry in form of e.g. sketches, images, power points, word documents, or implementations. The description should present the key characteristics and benefits of the product or service in a concise and marketing-oriented manner. 
In addition, also other materials supporting the jury in their decision (e.g. sketches, images, power points, word documents, implementations) can be attached to the competition entry.

FRUCT in Russian

in English/по-английски

Задачами программы является установление личных контактов между академическими и индустриальными R&D группами Финляндии и России, улучшение взаимной информированности о текущих работах и потенциале, формирование совместных команд для решения амбициозных задач, повышение престижа исследовательской деятельности и вовлечение в нее студентов и аспирантов, улучшение узнаваемости созданных команд и их организаций в мире.

Программа базируется на образовательной и исследовательской компонентах. В исследовательской части формируются проекты, участие в которых принимают студенты и аспиранты ВУЗов участников программы, а их консультантами и научными руководителями выступают индустриальные эксперты и преподаватели любого из ВУЗов, чьи области компетенций и интересов наиболее соответствуют теме проекта. Подобная форма завязывания контактов через совместные студенческие проекты показала себя очень успешной и позволила достаточно быстро и эффективно выявить набор компетенций, в рамках которых развитие сотрудничества видится наиболее перспективным. Эти проекты чрезвычайно важны для самореализации студентов и аспирантов, желающих связать свою жизнь с исследовательской и научной деятельностью, так как предоставляют материальную базу, повышают ее престижность и дают уверенность в завтрашнем дне.

Новые проекты в программе могут быть инициированы как «сверху», когда профессор или индустриальный эксперт предлагает студентам тему исследований, так и «снизу», когда студент или аспирант сам может представить на рассмотрение экспертов FRUCT тему проекта, которым бы ему хотелось заниматься. При утверждении новых проектов предпочтение отдается амбиционным темам с большой научно-исследовательской составляющей и высокой степенью проектного риска, а также темам по разработке, при наличии интереса со стороны индустриальных экспертов и ориентации на новейшие платформы.

Целью проектов является способствование развитию соответствующих компетенций в университетах, знакомство «в деле» индустриальных и академических групп и инкубация тематик для дальнейшего научного и коммерческого сотрудничества. Все утвержденные проекты могут рассчитывать на поддержку материалами необходимыми для работы (книги, аппаратура и т.д.), и в особых случаях возможно выделение материальной поддержки вовлеченным студентам в виде стипендий и грантов. Продолжительность проектов не регламентирована. Рекомендуемая длительность проекта – 1 год, и каждые полгода текущие результаты и план работ на следующее полугодие должны докладываться на учебно-отчетных семинарах. Важно отметить, что Nokia не претендует на интеллектуальную собственность, полученную в рамках проекта, но по результатам каждого проекта должна быть опубликована как минимум одна статья на престижной международной конференции или в научном журнале соответствующего уровня. При принятии статьи к публикации на конференции для российских студентов и аспирантов университетская программа Nokia может предоставить грант на участие в конференции.

Базовым элементом образовательной части программы являются учебно-отчетные семинары, проводимые раз в полгода. Программа семинара формируется из приглашенных лекций по наиболее актуальным и интересным темам, а также отчетов рабочих групп о результатах проектов. В качестве приглашенных лекторов выступают ведущие специалисты академического сообщества обеих стран, а также эксперты корпорации Nokia и других компаний. Кроме того, в рамках семинара могут проводиться тренинги по современным технологиям, а также различные конкурсы для исследователей и разработчиков. Особое внимание организаторами уделяется построению социальной сети на базе участников проекта и соответственно программа семинаров строится с целью максимального удовлетворения данной задачи. Продолжительность семинаров 2-3 дня, а все представленные материалы публикуются в разделе Seminars. Рабочим языком программы является Английский.
