Implications of digital transformation for migrant labour

Accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, rapid digitalisation has fundamentally transformed European working conditions. While its positive consequences are well recognised, digital transformation also puts a sorely needed part of the European workforce at risk of unemployment, poverty and social exclusion. IDILAB (Implications of digital transformation for migrant labour) investigates the impacts that technological progress and subsequent structural changes have on the labour market integration of migrant workers. By developing a new methodological approach, IDILAB shall provide novel evidence on migrants’ exposure to the process of digitalisation, and formulate evidence-based and innovative policy options for the EU and national governments to improve on the scope and adequacy of national and European policy directed at encouraging a fair digital transition for all, including migrants. The proposed project will contribute with new knowledge on migrants’ own perspectives on barriers and enablers for a sustainable integration in a fast-changing labour market. I, the experienced researcher (Dr Olga Gheorghiev, the Czech Republic), will work with a European centre of excellence (the Research Centre for Digitalisation of Public Services and Citizenship (CEDIC, OsloMet, Norway), and the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI, Belgium) for intersectoral knowledge transfer, career development, and European added value.

Locating Intergenerational Ties, rematriating late-19th-century unpublished photographs of Sámi Women and Children

Employing a decolonial approach inspired by critical museology and Indigenous studies, LIT aims to initiate a visual restitution/rematriation process fostering attention to Sámi people’s experiences during colonial encounters, and to illuminate individual life-stories of women and children photographed by Italian anthropologists Mantegazza and Sommier between 1879 and 1886. It wishes to generate dialogical knowledge of unpublished visual/written materials, enabling Sámi communities of interest to gain access to these scholars’ photographs. In complex socio-historical Indigenous/settler contexts such as Sápmi (the Sámi homeland), Sámi people’s control over their own heritage has proved essential to processes of cultural and ethnopolitical self-determination. Part of the Sámi visual heritage consists of photographs taken - often through mild violence and coercion - by academics engaged in physical anthropological practices involving Sámi individuals of all ages and genders. The resulting academic and divulgative publications circulated in Europe for decades, shaping and reinforcing stereotypes of Sámi peoples and cultures. Photos taken in colonial encounters by late-19th/early-20th century scholars to visualize Sámi people’s supposed biological-cultural inferiority (until a few decades ago inaccessible to the Sámi) have become important means of decolonization and empowerment through art and activism. The visual restitution of such photographs is of the utmost importance not only from a cultural heritage perspective but is also considered by Sámi institutions and individuals as an urgent necessity. LIT proposes an innovative approach based on the co-construction of knowledge and with a gender dimension. I shall reconstruct life stories of women and children photographed by Italian ethnologists, locating their descendants and returning their photographs to their communities. LIT would benefit my career, making me a leading researcher in Sami Studies and museology.

CULTUral heritage in RurAL remote areas for creative tourism and sustainabilITY

The main objective of the project is to contribute to the promotion of cultural and creative tourism activities, considering the different capacities, resources, and specificities (material, creative, human...) of the territories, as a mean to help with the sustainable development of peripheral rural areas, favoring job creation and population settlement. For this, the potential of its cultural heritage will be researched, taking into account both the artisan material culture (techniques, materials, patterns and decorative elements), as well as the intangible culture (music, oral knowledge and culinary traditions) as a resource.
 
To promote non-seasonal tourism as a form of sustainable development with a stable population settlement we are going to research the crafts linked to the territory and their implications, but we will also carry out a documentation of the productive processes. First and foremost, we are going to cater to the necessities of the local communities and pay attention to aspects related to societal groups at risk of exclusion, such as women, the elderly and the youth.

All this will be developed from a multidisciplinary perspective, for which we will count on the various teams —most of them linked to different countries— that will be part of the consortium. Each of these partners will contribute to the development, as well as to the final result of the project through input directly related to their area of ??expertise: for example, among the collaborators we have intellectual teams specialized in the digitalization of heritage, research, or communication and dissemination, as well as as various institutions that will act as a testing ground for the more practical parts of the proposal. However, if something will characterize our work, it will be the constant collaboration between all parties, as well as the exchange of advice and experiences that will help to enrich collective knowledge and guarantee optimal results.

POWERING ARTISTIC AND CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO DRIVE THE CLIMATE TRANSITION

PACESETTERS responds to the abstract challenge of the climate transitions by shifting from a model of entrepreneurship based on individual, short-term incentives to one that is driven by co-agency and new capacities to act together in sustainable ways. It does so by examining the concrete circumstances, investigating possible support mechanisms and stress-testing instruments that enable art and culture, creativity and heritage to drive the climate transition.
Therefore, PACESETTERS will set out to:
-Create knowledge from collaborative research to keep pace with the transition
-Propose and test creative business models to set the pace of the transition
-Assess strategies of valorisation to push the pace of the transition
 
This approach will identify and analyse advanced practices that run transversally across the cultural and creative sectors; contextualise the outcomes of co-research in real-world laboratories for social imagination; further develop and promote the preliminary results of experiments in iterative support and evaluation frames. The PACESETTERS approach centres on inclusion, participation and iteration in order ensure that gender equity and diversity inform it at every step and on every level.

The result will be a critical evaluation and all-encompassing demonstration of the actual potentials of the CCIs to drive the climate transition while systematically analysing their impact on micro-, meso- and macro-level:
-Understanding the climate transition as a triple transition: green, digital and inclusive

Smart and Sustainable Host UniverCities: leveraging city-university interactions to further the twin green and digital transition

SUNSET aims to develop innovative research and training capacity around city-university interactions driving the EU’s green and digital transition. This twin transition is a defining element of the current EU policy agenda towards achieving climate neutrality and sustainable growth. The European Commission considers cities to be frontrunners in this transition agenda, but their transformational capacity and resilience crucially depends on the presence of agile and high-performing urban innovation ecosystems. SUNSET brings together (1) prominent researchers working in diverse geographical and disciplinary settings at leading universities (N=6) with (2) partners (N=16) from city governments (often participating in the Cities Mission to achieve climate neutrality by 2030), innovation companies, research institutes and civil society organizations to analyze and foster the performance of these urban innovation ecosystems: drawing on a purposeful range of interdisciplinary, international, and intersectoral exchanges, the Doctoral Network will investigate whether and how universities can successfully become key drivers of the twin transition in cities via their role as innovation partners, the implementation of campus living labs, and as architects of decision-making in governance ecosystems. Through a tailored combination of network-wide training events and academic and non-academic secondments, the SUNSET Doctoral Network will train a new generation of researchers to become future urban innovation ecosystem leaders in the pursuit of the twin green and digital transition. The findings will lead to practical guidelines regarding the design and implementation of living labs for university and city management, tailored strategies to foster more inclusive and diverse urban ecosystems, and diverse forms of scientific outreach and dissemination.

Providing research infrastructure services to support Next Generation EU

This four-year project will harness outputs from key social science RIs in Europe and other reliable sources to support the aims of the ‘Next Generation EU’ programme and to inform EU youth policy. Virtual access will be provided to the outputs through special installations (portals) developed during the project. The core of the proposal is a set of existing research ‘services’, which will be re-purposed and customised to focus directly on the five themes: Make it Green; Make it Digital; Make it Healthy; Make it Strong; and Make it Equal. 

For each area, the consortium will work collaboratively to produce seven sets of resources:

i)	A searchable inventory of relevant variables drawn from multiple cross-national datasets; 

ii)	Analytical summaries, suitable for policy makers and analysts new to the field, as well as interactive resources available through the project portal;

iii)	Harmonised and merged extracts from these datasets that reduce the burden on analysts and increase sample sizes;

iv)	New data collected through the ESS’s established CRONOS web panel infrastructure. Eleven countries will field five waves of the panel, each one dedicated to a NextGenEU theme. Free and rapid access to the data will be available through the CRONOS portal alongside analytical summaries;

v)	In-person and virtual deliberative forums with young people (aged 18-34) in four countries covering the five Next Generation EU’ themes;

vi)	An educational tool (E-NextGen) channelling our data for use in classrooms and by the general public;

vii)	Comprehensive training materials related to all project outputs.


EXPRESS 2 SPECIFY AND PROTECT THE EU SOCIAL CONTRACT (EXPRESS2)

EXPRESS2 is a project that addresses from a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and cross-sectional perspective, the growing demand for a new, more democratic, inclusive, and sustainable social contract in the EU. To achieve this, the project will work to create a more appealing and legitimate EU social contract draft that will be submitted to inhabitants, Member States and EU institutions that will have the possibility to participate and decide upon the conditions, rights, and obligations to be binding. The goal is to strengthen the EU agreement of association by promoting social dialogue, civic engagement, and integration. An express draft shall be achieved by means of policy dialogue, campaign implementation, collaborative workshops, advocacy planning, and innovative offline and online formats and tools to create spaces for dialogue. To this end, EXPRESS2 will involve EU policymakers and institutions throughout the project to obtain a more appealing and legitimate EU social contract draft. 
The project will also focus on identifying and analyzing disruptive elements of the social contract, such as insecurity, populism, climate change, mistrust in institutions, gender discrimination, digitalisation and pandemics. The analysis of these stressors includes both individualised and cross-sectional approaches to cover the plausible relation of multiple disruptors, their concatenation or the “trigger” effect of a disruptive phenomenon to another. By understanding these disruptive elements and their effects on the social contract, the project will propose concrete measures to ironclad the social contract and it will provide relevant information to protect it from actual and potential disruptions thus we conceive social contracts as incomplete theorised agreements and living documents. In addition to academic, policy, and socio-economic outcomes, EXPRESS2 will propose recommendations to strengthen the social contract's resilience and capacity for further development.


Mapping of Longitudinal data of Inequalities in Education

The MapIE project aims to identify mechanisms causing educational inequalities and policies or interventions compensating for them. We do a systematic review of how these have been studied internationally using longitudinal designs. We map existing longitudinal data that we describe in a public metadata database, and we analyse them to describe the mechanisms of inequalities and to identify effective policies and interventions in different local contexts. We focus on the contextual differences between the Nordic and Central European countries that have structurally different education systems. Within national contexts and using comparative research designs, we look at system-, regional- and school-level policies and practices and individual-level factors (e.g. socioeconomic status, immigrant background, gender, special educational needs) that are associated with the development of educational inequalities and the successful prevention of achievement gaps. We publish and disseminate the empirical results of the project through multiple channels to scientific audiences, policy makers and the wider public. At the end, we create a public framework for studying educational inequalities longitudinally in future studies, acknowledging the role of local contexts but aiming for comparability at the European level. 

We implement the project in seven work packages. Our consortium consists of internationally acknowledged experts in large-scale educational assessment research from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Hungary and Luxembourg/Germany. The partners have a long-standing history of collaboration with each other, European researchers, and national and international education policy makers, and they bring extensive longitudinal datasets to the project. The project will considerably strengthen the knowledge base of what shapes educational outcomes over time, how to best support the learning of all students and how to reduce education inequalities in the short, medium and long term.

Contextualized pathways to reduce housing inequalities in the green and digital transition.

The project Reducing housing inequalities in the green and digital transition (ReHousIn) is committed to better understand the impacts of recent crises on housing inequalities across different European regions, especially with regard to the implementation of the green transition launched by the EU. The overall aim is to explore the mechanisms affecting the (re)production of housing inequalities under recent crisis conditions, and the impacts of the EU induced green transition in different national contexts and along different degrees of urbanisation. Based on a contextualized and comparative understanding of the mechanisms (re)producing housing inequalities, ReHousIn inquiries into multi-level pathways and inclusive local housing initiatives to spark innovative EU, national and local policy solutions towards inclusionary and quality housing, mitigating the possible negative impacts of the EU induced green transition. It conducts a comparative, multi-level analysis in 9 European countries – Austria, France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom – focusing on attractive metropolitan regions, middle-sized cities and rural areas by means of a mixed-method project design. A quantitative data analysis on recent trends in housing inequalities and their relation to crises across different levels of urbanization will provide the framework for 27 local cases studies in which the impact of multi-level trajectories of housing-system, welfare regimes and environmental policy instrumentations on the (re)production of local housing inequalities and the emergence of inclusive housing initiatives are analyzed. Based on this, ReHousIn compares mechanisms of differentiation feeding into policy labs, aiming to formulate recommendations on how to tackle negative social externalities related the EU green transition at EU, national and local levels.

Strengthening resilience and mental wellbeing through the Support4Resilience toolbox for leaders in elderly care

European elderly care experiences labor shortages, lack of qualified workers and a mismatch between capacity and demands, causing stress, burnout, and reduced mental wellbeing among healthcare workers and informal caregivers. Leaders are crucial in promoting supportive working conditions but lack research-based measures to act upon these challenges.

Support4Resilience (S4R) will develop, implement, and evaluate a research-based Toolbox to support healthcare leaders in improving healthcare workers’ and informal caregivers’ resilience and mental wellbeing in elderly care. S4R will identify resilience and mental wellbeing factors among healthcare workers and informal caregivers; explore their perspectives and needs; develop new theory on the relationship between individual and organizational resilience, and mental wellbeing; and develop recommendations and cost-effective interventions. The Toolbox with tailormade resources for policy and practical use will be available through an open access S4R Resource Bank.

The S4R Toolbox includes three main tools: 1) Mapping and identification, 2) Reflection and education, and 3) Reorganization. Measures are initiated at the organizational level and effects on mental wellbeing and resilience transpire at the frontline of elderly care. The Toolbox covers different situational contexts, types of healthcare providers and health system levels. Elderly care settings in six European countries will implement and evaluate the Toolbox through a process evaluation, effectiveness evaluation, and cost-effectiveness evaluation. 

S4R provides policymakers, decisions-makers and leaders with solutions for taking action to solve specific risks for healthcare workers’ and informal caregivers’ resilience and mental wellbeing. Thus, pertinent to the work programme, S4R will support the development of resilient health systems in European elderly care through improved leadership capabilities, governance structures, and adaptive capacities.

Grunntanken bak dannelsen av CCB var å forene basalbiologisk forskning på mekanismer i kreftutvikling med pasientnær kreftforskning som tar sikte på å identifisere nye kjennetegn på kreft som kan brukes i diagnose, prognose og terapi. Dette har vist seg som en vellykket forskningsstrategi, og CCBs forskere har gjort viktige oppdagelser innen tidlig diagnostikk og persontilpasset kreftmedisin som forventes å komme fremtidens pasienter med lymfe-, tykktarms-, og prostatakreft til gode. CCB har publisert 655 artikler og utdannet 61 PhD- kandidater i løpet av de 10 årene senteret har vært i virksomhet. Mange av publikasjonene er blitt publisert i ledende tidsskrifter og har vakt oppmerksomhet internasjonalt. For eksempel har CCBs forskere publisert hele 13 artikler i de to verdensledende forskningstidsskriftene Nature og Science, og 8 av disse studiene har vært ledet fra CCB. CCBs forskere har vært aktive i å formidle sin egen og andres forskning gjennom intervjuer i radio, fjernsyn og aviser, gjennom aviskronikker og blogginnlegg, og gjennom populærvitenskapelige forelesninger. Gjennom CCB har en rekke yngre kreftforskere fått anledning til å etablere egne forskningsgrupper, og forskningen i CCB har dannet grunnlaget for flere nasjonale satsingsprosjekter samt for to nye KGJ-sentre, et nytt Senter for fremragende forskning, to Toppforsk-prosjekter, og et «Fyrtårn»-prosjekt. Den har også ført til deltagelse i internasjonale forskernettverk samt forskningsstøtte fra det europeiske forskningsrådet ERC. CCB fikk karakteren «Exceptionally good» ved midtveisevalueringen i regi av Forskningsrådet og har fortsatt å levere kreftforskning av høyeste kvalitet.

Kreft er en kompleks invasiv cellesykdom som opptrer i mange forkledninger.  For å bekjempe den effektivt trenger vi å integrere kreftrelevant biologisk informasjon fra flere nivåer - molekyler, celler og organismer. En slik kompleks analyse, kjent som systembiologi, er basert på lagarbeid som forener innsatsen fra enkeltforskere innen ulike fagområder. Ved å dra nytte av unike biobanker og forene spesialister innen cellebiologi, pasientrettet kreftforskning og biostatistikk vil dette senteret undersøke grunnleggende emner innen kreftbiomedisin med det mål for øye å forbedre livet til den enkelte kreftpasient. Forskere innen senteret vil gis anledning til å følge nye idéer rettet mot forståelse av grunnleggende biologiske prosesser i tillegg til de som har en umiddelbar klinisk verdi. Det tverrfaglige miljøet innen senteret som er samlokalisert i et moderne instituttbygg og som samvirker med et moderne kreftsykehus gir et optimalt grunnlag for frontlinjeforskning og talentutvikling. Samarbeid med ledende forskningsinstitusjoner i utlandet vil bidra til senterprosjektet. Kombinasjonen av storskalaanalyser og detaljert biologisk forskning vil føre til en bedre forståelse av den kompliserte dynamikken i kreftutvikling.  Informasjonen som oppnås vil bli brukt  til molekylærbasert medisin: De nye biomarkørene for kreft vil bli overført til diagnostiske biomedisinske tester, og informasjonen som oppnås vil bli benyttet til å styre valg av terapeutisk regime, teragnostikk, for den enkelte kreftpasient.

Hovedmålet med prosjektet kan leses ut av en foreløpig arbeidstekst for søknaden: "The current and existing technological developments for resources recovery from sludge mainly focus on energy, nutrients, biopolymers, adsorbents and building materials, bu t none of them can be considered as the universal and definitive solution. Local situations and specificities have a strong impact on the sustainability of disposal routes and must be specifically considered, for example through adequate decision support  systems that take into account social issues and public acceptance
In this context, the fundamental basis of our project will lean on how to implement and associate the best available technologies, regarding the local situations and markets deployment. Th is will be done through decision support systems and scenarios development, assuming each operation is viable and industrialized.
Besides, considering the most advanced new processes, the project will focus on two main case-studies: (i) the association of  bio-plastics and biogas production coupled with nutrient recovery in medium-size plants  and (ii) gasification or pyrolysis associated with material recovery from combustion residues (e.g.: adsorbents and or ceramic material) in large plants" 

Det har h ittl vært et orienterende møte i Milano 27.03.14 for FoU- institusjoner og firmaer som har vært aktive innenfor WssTPs Sludge Management -gruppe, samt mer uformelle møter i tilknytning til European Sludge Management Conference i Izmir i Tyrkia 26-27 mai.
 
Det planlegges nye møter i løpet av august 2014 for å få etablert et endelig konsortium og fordele arbeidsoppgaver og starte søknadsskrivingen , for å rekke søknadsfristen for fase 1  som er 16. oktober 2014

Aquateam er en miljøteknologibedrift med behov for meget høyt kvalifisert arbeidskraft.  De fleste prosjektene krever kompetanse på Ph.D.-nivå.  I flere år har Aquateam slitt med å få tak i folk med gode prosesskunnskaper.  Den beste måten Aquateam kan si kre seg kompetanse på er derfor ved videreutdanning av personer som allerede er en del av bedriften. Dermed er doktorgradsarbeid i form av en nærings-ph.d. ideelt for Aquateam.  

Aquateam er internasjonalt anerkjent for sitt arbeid med biologiske prosess er og separasjonsprosesser for rensing av prosessvann og avløpsvann.  Doktorgradsarbeidet vil bygge videre på den spisskompetanse som finnes hos Aquateam og hos UMB.  

For rensing av prosessvann og avløpsvann skal det utvikles en ny biologisk reaktor med  tilhørende teknologi for slamseparasjon.  Den nye prosessen vil i første omgang bli testet i laboratorieskala hos Aquateam.  Deretter vil den bli testet i pilot-skala på et renseanlegg i nærheten av Oslo.  Prosjektet vil trenge renseteknisk, kjemisk og b iologisk kompetanse.  Aquateam har slik kompetanse innomhus.

Det vil bli bygd flere reaktorer i lab-skala, for å teste alternative utforminger av bioreaktoren.  Alternative separasjonsprosesser vil også bli testet i lab-skala.  Tradisjonelle vannkjemiske  analyser vil bli benyttet.  I tillegg vil mikroskopi og instrumenter for partikkeltelling og måling av partikkelstørrelsesfordelinger bli benyttet.  Aquateam har også kompetanse på mikroelektroder, for måling av f.eks. konsentrasjonen av forskjellige nit rogenformer på gitte nivåer inne i en biofilm.  

Basert på resultatene fra lab-skala forsøk, vil man planlegge pilot-forsøkene.   Pilot-forsøkene skal demonstrere og dokumentere prosessens egnethet for rensing av kommunalt avløpsvann. De samme analysetek nikkene som nevnt over vil bli benyttet.  Belastninger, reaksjonshastigheter, slamproduksjon og renseeffekter vil bli sammenlignet med andre prosesser for biologisk rensing av avløpsvann.

Adaptation of water supply and sanitation systems to cope with climate change

This study aims to integrate different individual processes to utilize micro-algae for production and storage of CO2 (CO2 battery) and further utilise the algal biomass to produce methane by anaerobic digestion for combustion (in addition to treatment of biomass and/or wastewater sludge from different sources). The study will also aim in utilising micro-algae as tertiary water treatment for nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Most wastewater treatment facilities (municipal and industrial) have anaerobic syst ems in their facilities and such a process will be ideal as only micro-algal systems would be the main retrofitting unit.

Environmental conditions for photosynthetic growth of algae require light, CO2 (carbon source), water and inorganic salts. Nutrient water containing high amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus will be fed into the algal chamber for micro-algae growth. Micro-algae is harvested on a timely basis and is either dewatered and stored in tanks or is supplied to the anaerobic reactor for producti on of biogas.

Biomass either from wastewater sludge or organic waste source and harvested micro-algae can be treated in an anaerobic digester for biogas production. Biogas (70% methane and 30% CO2) is stripped of hydrogen sulphide gas and is combusted in to the combined heat and power (CHP) unit for energy generation. Methane on combustion produces high amounts of CO2 which is recycled into the algal system for further micro-algal growth. 

These types of wastewater treatment plants are plenty and serve l arge and small communities around United States, Europe (Norway and others), Asia and Oceania, where this technology can be applied.

Sustainable PWRI through application of the PWRI bio-toolbox

Reinjeksjon av produsert vann vil bli et meget viktig løsning for å kontrollere utslipp av produsert vann i følsomme områder. Risiko for forsurning av reservoaret regnes som en av de mest kritiske faktorene som kan hindre suksess. Det er derfor stort beho v for å videreutvikle kunnskapen som gjør at man kan forutsi forsurningspotensialet og foreslå gode løsninger som hindrer forsurning.  Konsekvensene av forsurning kan bli meget store; forringelse av olje & gass kvalitet,  arbeidsmiljø og materialer som ti l syvende og siste kan fordyre produksjonen og gjøre at enkelte olje & gassfelt ikke blir drivverdige.

De ulike oljeselskapene har hatt FoU i egen regi innen dette feltet og har med det som utgangspunkt utviklet ulike filosofier om hvordan man kan hindre  forsurning.  Det finnes per dags dato ikke en løsning om er egnet for alle felt og de løsninger man har tilgjengelige; bruk av nitrat, nitritt eller biocid varierer i effektivitet fra felt til felt og noen selskap har påvist negative sideeffekter som man  ikke helt forstår hvordan man skal kunne kontrollere. I regi av OLF har Aquateam gjennomført et utredningsprosjekt der man har samlet erfaringer fra mange selskaper.  Aquateam har bistått ConocoPhillips (CoPNo) i deres PWRI pilot på Ekofisk der man stude rte bruk av nitritt og nitrat ved hjelp av feltspesifikke forsurningsmålinger (Souring Mitigation Cabinet, SMC) og gjennomførte tilbakeflømminsstudier i etterkant.  Aquateam har videre bistått Norske Shell i deres PWRI pilot på Draugen der man studerte br uk av nitrat ved bruk av sidestrømsmålinger med SMC og korrosjonsmålinger.  Videre har Aquateam bistått Statoil i gjennomføringen av en rekke tilbakeflømmingsstudier av brønner der produsert vann har vært reinjisert på Statfjord.

I 2005 har OLF gjennomfø rt tre nettverksmøter med deltagere fra ulike oljeselskaper der man har prøvd å komme fram til en felles platform for prosjketsamarbeid. Forprosjektet skal brukes til å en JIP.
