Ziel des Projektes ist es, die Zusammenarbeit von Wissenschaft und Politik innerhalb der Enquete-Kommission 'Zukünftige Kernenergie-Politik' zu untersuchen, die ihren ersten Bericht 1980 vorlegte. In diesen wissenschaftlichen Beratungsprozess waren neben industrienahen Wissenschaftlern auch Alternative integriert - wie beispielsweise ein Sachverständiger des Öko-Instituts, das von Mitgliedern der Umweltbewegung gegründet wurde. Damit gewannen alternative Wissenschaftler zunehmend Gewicht in der Diskussion um zukunftsfähige Energiepolitik, die bis dahin vor allem von den - der Industrie nahe stehenden - Forschungseinrichtungen wie Jülich und Karlsruhe bestimmt wurde. Vor dem Hintergrund der innenpolitisch prägenden Konfliktphase um die Atomenergie soll die Funktionsfähigkeit der wissenschaftlichen Politikberatung untersucht werden. Dies beinhaltet neben der Untersuchung von Kommunikationsprozessen auch die Frage nach den Argumentationsstrategien.
Zur Verbesserung der Lärmsituation in Europa hat die EU im Jahr 2002 die Umgebungslärmrichtlinie (2002/49/EG) erlassen, wobei die Belastung durch einheitliche Bewertungsmethoden erfasst werden soll. Diese unter dem Akronym CNOSSOS-EU (Common Noise Assessment Methods in Europe) entwickelten Berechnungsmethoden (Richtlinie (EU) 2015/996) sind der Qualitätssicherung von Lärmberechnungen (DIN 45687) zu unterziehen. In dieser Dokumentation werden die Methoden zur Ermittlung der Schall-Emissionen, der Berechnung der Schall-Ausbreitung sowie der Belastetenermittlung auf beispielhafte Aufgabenstellungen angewendet, so dass eine einheitliche Anwendung der Methoden deutschlandweit gewährleistet ist.
PROMISE strives for multidimensional networking thus fostering integration. The primary strategic objective of PROMISE is to improve and increase the integration, collaboration and knowledge transfer between the new member states, old member states (EU15) and candidate countries through a collaborative workplan of exchange of expertise and regional training and dissemination actions, to tackle common food safety threats. PROMISE strives for sustainability through involvement of risk communicators. A further strategic objective is to integrate stakeholders like public health authorities and national food safety authorities from the old and new member countries in order to ensure the exploitation of research results into standardisation and harmonisation efforts. PROMISE will enhance the knowledge on pathogen transmission. While legal imports are well monitored for contamination and alerts are registered through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed RASFF notification systems, gates into the EU-27 could exist where food supply chains are not controllled. These uncontrolled imports present the risk that new strains of traditional pathogens will be transferred from third countries into the European Union. Analysing, assessing and interpreting this risk of introducing new strains of pathogens is one of the main objectives of PROMISE.
To improve the noise situation in Europe, the EU issued the Environmental Noise Directive (2002/49/EC) in 2002. It was transposed into German law in 2005. The aim is to reduce environmental noise and prevent an increase in noise in previously quiet areas. To this end, noise pollution is to be recorded in noise maps by means of uniform assessment methods for noise indices in Europe and then reduced by means of concrete measures. In recent years, the EU has developed these methods under the acronym CNOSSOS-EU (Common Noise Assessment Methods in Europe) with the participation of the Member States. These calculation methods were introduced by an amendment to Annex II of the EU Environmental Noise Directive 2015 as Directive (EU) 2015/996 (1) for subsequent national implementation ((2) to (6)) and are to be applied by all Member States as of 1 January 2019. In this documentation, the methods for the determination of sound emissions, the calculation of sound propagation and the assessment of noise exposure are applied to exemplary scenarios. A distinction is made between noise from sources close to the ground (road, rail, industry) and sources from air traffic (aircraft noise). In accordance with the calculation regulations (2) to (6), model calculations (creating scenarios and test cases) are documented in detail. This way, a quality assurance of noise calculations in accordance with DIN 45687 (11) is made possible and a uniform and comprehensible application of the methods is ensured throughout Germany.
The objectives of the ProMine IP address the Commission s concerns over the annual 11 billion trade deficit in metal and mineral imports. Europe has to enhance the efficiency of its overall production chain putting higher quality and added value products on the market. ProMine focuses on two parts of this chain, targeting extractive and end-user industries. Upstream, the first ever Pan-EU GIS based mineral resource and advanced modeling system for the extractive industry will be created, showing known and predicted, metallic and non-metallic mineral occurrences across the EU. Detailed 4D computer models will be produced for four metalliferous regions. Upstream work will also include demonstrating the reliability of new (Bio) technologies for an eco-efficient production of strategic metals, driven by the creation of on-site added value and the identification of specific needs of potential end-users. Downstream, a new strategy will be developed for the European extractive industry which looks not only at increasing production but also at delivering high value, tailored nano-products which will form the new raw materials for the manufacturing industry. ProMine research will focus on five nano-products, (Conductive metal (Cu, Ag, Au) fibres, rhenium and rhenium alloy powders, nano-silica, iron oxyhydroxysulphate and new nano-particle based coatings for printing paper), which will have a major impact on the economic viability of the extractive industry. They will be tested at bench scale, and a number selected for development to pilot scale where larger samples can be provided for characterisation and testing by end-user industries. It will include production, testing and evaluation of these materials, with economic evaluation, life cycle cost analysis, and environmental sustainability. ProMine with 26 partners from 11 EU member states, has a strong industrial involvement while knowledge exploitation will transfer ProMine results to the industrial community.
Die Richtlinie zur Endenergieeffizienz und Energiedienstleistungen (2006/32/EG) erfordert Methoden, mit denen die aus Energiedienstleistungen und anderen Maßnahmen zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz erreichten Energieeinsparungen, als Beitrag zur Erreichung des Richtziels von 9 Prozent Energieeinsparung bis 2016, evaluiert werden können. Ziel des Projekts war es, die Europäische Kommission durch konkrete Beratung und Ergebnisse bei der Ausarbeitung von Evaluierungsmethoden zu unterstützen. Das beinhaltete die Entwicklung von konkreten Methoden für die Auswertung einzelner Energieeffizienzprogramme, Dienstleistungen und Maßnahmen (meistens Bottom-up-Methoden), sowie von Instrumenten zur Überwachung der Gesamtwirkung aller in einem Mitgliedstaat umgesetzten Maßnahmen (Kombination von Bottom-up und Top-down). Das Wuppertal Institut hat das Projekt koordiniert, an dem 21 internationale Institutionen beteiligt waren. Das Projekt umfasste folgende Arbeitsbausteine: eine Sammlung und vergleichende Analyse von good practice Beispielen bei Erfassungs- und Evaluierungsmethoden, ein Verfahren zur Entwicklung von harmonisierten Bottom-up- und Top-down-Evaluierungsmethoden,die konkrete Entwicklung von 20 Anwendungsbeispielen für Bottom-up- und 15 Anwendungsbeispielen für Top-down-Methoden, jeweils EU-weit anwendbar und soweit möglich harmonisiert, kombinierte Top-down/Benchmarking und Bottom-up Evaluierungsmethoden, um das Erreichen des 9-Prozent-Ziels nachzuweisen, sowohl ex-ante als auch ex-post, fünf Pilotprojekte für die Erprobung von entwickelten Methoden anhand konkreter Programme, Dienstleistungen oder anderer Maßnahmen, einen Vorschlag für die Struktur und Methodik der ersten Energieeffizienz-Aktionspläne, die von den Mitgliedsstaaten eingereicht werden müssen, um die Erfüllung der Richtlinie zu belegen, einen Vorschlag für eine Methodik, die von der Kommission zur Bewertung der eingereichten Pläne und Ergebnisse genutzt werden kann, eine Plattform zum Austausch von Information mit der Kommission und Interessenvertretern und begrenzte Ad-hoc-Beratung. Der Fokus lag auf Bottom-up-Methoden, da das ODYSSEE-Konsortium bereits detaillierte Top-down-Indikatoren entwickelt hat, die nur noch weiterer Anpassung bedurften. Die unmittelbaren Ergebnisse sind (1) ein System von Bottom-up-, Top-down- und integrierten Methoden für die Evaluierung von ungefähr 20 Arten von Energieeffizienztechnologien und/oder förderlicher Maßnahmen zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz, soweit möglich harmonisiert zwischen den Mitgliedsstaaten; das System ermöglicht es, mindestens 90 Prozent der auf das Ziel anzurechnenden Energieeinsparungen zu berechnen; (2) harmonisierte Inputdaten und Richtgrößen für die Anwendung dieser Evaluierungsmethoden; (3) eine Vorlage und ein Leitfaden für die Mitgliedstaaten für die Energieeffizienz-Aktionspläne; und (4) eine akzeptierte Methode zur Bewertung der Pläne für die Europäische Kommission.
The Commission proposal of Groundwater Directive COM(2003)550 developed under Article 17 of the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) sets out criteria for the assessment of the chemical status of groundwater, which is based on existing Community quality standards (nitrates, pesticides and biocides) and on the requirement for Member States to identify pollutants and threshold values that are representative of groundwater bodies found as being at risk, in accordance with the analysis of pressures and impacts carried out under the WFD. In the light of the above, the objectives of BRIDGE are: i) to study and gather scientific outputs which could be used to set out criteria for the assessment of the chemical status of groundwater, ii) to derive a plausible general approach, how to structure relevant criteria appropriately with the aim to set representative groundwater threshold values scientifically sound and defined at national river basin district or groundwater body level, iii) to check the applicability and validity by means of case studies at European scale, iv) to undertake additional research studies to complete the available data, v) and to carry out an environmental impact assessment taking into account the economic and social impacts. The project shall be carried out at European level, involving a range of stakeholders and efficiently linking the scientific and policy-making communities. Considering the requirement of the diary of the Groundwater Daughter Directive proposal, which implies that groundwater pollutants and related threshold values should be identified before December 2005 and listed by June 2006, the duration of the project should be 24 months. In that way the proposed research will contribute to provide research elements that will be indispensable for preparing discussions on further steps of the future Groundwater Directive.

The main objective of the project is to contribute to a transition towards a green economy in Europe through organization of the international conference 'Transition to a green economy' (T2gE). This international conference will be an event of major strategic nature during the Slovak Presidency of the European Council. Conference will bring together a broad spectrum of stakeholders. Its ambition is to improve understanding of the green economy concept, identify conclusions and pathways for transition as well as to involve and mobilise various actors and stakeholders in the discussions of possible future actions. The conference also aims to strengthen synergy among various recent initiatives and programmes launched by the European Commission (i.e 7EAP, Circular economy package, Energy Union, Juncker Commission's priorities etc) and by the Member States, to the benefit of the overall coherence. The conference will aim to bring together policymakers from various EU countries, as well as a range of stakeholders from international organizations, academia, business, and civil society and encourage an open debate around key green economy issues. At the end of the conference, draft conclusions, for both the national and the European level, will be approved which will be useful tool for implementation of policy in the field of green economy. Parallel breakout sessions will be devoted to various relevant subjects with the involvement of representatives from civil society, policymakers, business, science and innovations, and regional and local authorities. The participants will present examples of the green economy approaches from successful countries, which will be discussed and reflected in the conclusions to ensure that green economy policy conclusions are relevant to countries' needs. Part of the conference will be oriented on practical demonstration of Slovak examples of green/circular economy - field trip.
Objective: Fragmentation of research efforts, lack of a shared scientific vision and insufficient availability of research tools, shared databases, etc., is a major limitation for the understanding of atmospheric composition change over Europe under a changing climate, and the consequent inadequate transfer of prospects to the decision makers for future policies. The ACCENT-Plus project builds on the successful efforts of the Network of Excellence ACCENT which, over the past six years, has brought together the atmospheric science community engaged in global change and air pollution studies. The integration efforts within the ACCENT Network have produced a stronger cohesion of the community, including research groups from the new EU Member States and have facilitated the engagement of a new generation of scientists who have started their career in the collaborative environment promoted by ACCENT. ACCENT-Plus aims at extending the breath of the previous ACCENT phase to reach out to the policy community, facilitating the transfer of research results into policy/decision making. A prerequisite to reach this goal is to continue fostering the coordination and integration of the European science community, associating with this new effort all partners and associates of the previous ACCENT phase. Joint research programming, contribution to the international research agenda, access to information, training/mobility activities and facilitation in the use of research infrastructures will be key elements of ACCENT-Plus to preserve and enhance the excellence of European research in an ERA context, to produce integrated assessment and synthesis of scientific results and to connect science and policy making by transferring to the decision makers the important links between air quality and climate change and the prospects and benefits of co-control policies.
Objective: Within the AQUAREHAB project, different innovative rehabilitation technologies for soil, groundwater and surface water will be developed to cope with a number of hazardous (nitrates, pesticides, chlorinated and aromatic compounds, mixed pollutions, ) within heavily degraded water systems. The technologies are activated riparian zones/wetlands; smart biomass containing carriers for treatment of water in open trenches; in-situ technologies to restore degraded surface water by inhibiting influx of pollutants from groundwater to surface water; multifunctional permeable barriers and injectable Fe-based particles for rehabilitation of groundwater. Methods will be developed to determine the (long-term) impact of the innovative rehabilitation technologies on the reduction of the influx of these priority pollutants towards the receptor. A connection between the innovative technologies and river basin management will be worked out. In a first stage of the project, the technologies and integration of their impact in river basin management will be developed in three different river basins (Denmark, Israel, Belgium). In a second stage, the generic approaches will be extrapolated to one or two more river basins. One of the major outcomes of the project will be a generic river basin management tool that integrates multiple measures with ecological and economic impact assessments of the whole water system. The research in the project is focused on innovative rehabilitation strategies to reduce priority pollutants in the water system whereas the generic management tool will include other measures related to flood protection, water scarcity and ecosystem health. The project will aid in underpinning river basin management plans being developed in EU Member States, and will demonstrate cost effective technologies that can provide technical options for national and local water managers, planners and other stakeholders (drinking water companies, industry, agriculture.
