sustainable smart specialisation for the reopening of industrial sites in the danube region

the csa ris4danu proposes a series of concerted actions over 24 months to elaborate strategic business development plans for the reopening of 21 disused industrial sites in the danube macroregion an area that stretches from the black forest to the black sea the project directly connects to the eu strategy for the danube region eusdr a macroregional strategy to address common economic and societal challenges and create synergies and coordination between existing policies and initiatives danube neighbouring states share a proud and centuriesold history of manufacturing and industrial production yet political upheavals globalisation and technological advancements have confronted many danube regions with the challenges of structural transformation and have triggered the closing down of numerous industrial plants and sites in many regions plant closures and the associated displacement of workers caused severe socioeconomic effects on workers local communities and regions at the heart of the ris4danu project is the goal of applying an evidencebased smart specialisation s3 approach to support placebased innovation for greendigital and inclusive transitions in regions along the danube river this project ties in with current debates and requests to combine smart specialisation with considerations of socioecological challenges such as climate change environmental issues and growing social and territorial inequality smart specialisation strategies for sustainable and inclusive growth s4 we argue that the reopening of old industrial sites shows the potential to build transformative resilience in lessfavoured danube regions these sites could serve as innovation anchors unleashing opportunities for the entire region to strengthen their capacity to develop innovative solutions to placespecific ecological social and economic challenges project activities include crossregional peer exchange and a transfer of knowledge along the danube river

communitydriven digitisation for heritage at risk

the preservation of cultural heritage ch at risk should represent more than the protection of the tangible matter of the objects to document and safeguard the experiences that the assets raise in their communities is fundamental for achieving truly comprehensive representations of ch otherwise preservation activities limited to the physical matter of the objects may lead to musealised environments that are no longer the core of identity and social encounters most frecuently after the interruption of social dynamics due to war displacements or other perturbations despite the fact that presentday technologies permit achieving very accurate models of the objects eg 3d models the phenomenological experience associated with ch its genius loci is not often considered part of digitisation processes cordhist addresses this gap by questioning the role of the community towards the pre and postdisaster digitisations of ch implemented at tu delft and supervised by dr giorgia giardina cordisk will allow me to acquire and implement new skills and training to develop a novel experimental framework based on augmented reality and virtual reality that can demonstrate that comprehensive phenomenological models of ch can be assembled from and for communities the models will also represent a living document for tracking the changes in ch over time these digital replicas are meant to become a critical resource for reacting towards ch involuntarily damaged or lost eg during emergency surveying and rescue furthermore the models can become a vehicle for safeguarding what a community desires to preserve for the future even after the physical destruction of ch altogether this experimental approach based on novel technologies will represent a mechanism for transferring knowledge from and to the communities for achieving more democratic resilient and sustainable actions towards the preservation of ch by taking a proactive part in this digital transition

econometric models to evaluate environmental and spatial effects of longlasting policies

policies often target one market road taxes target commuting agricultural subsidies target farming and car taxes target the automobile market economists developed a rich toolbox to evaluate the effects of policy in the targeted market in a partial equilibrium analysis however policies are often longlasting and massive in scale affecting where economic activity occurs the spatial distribution of activity matters in agriculture and transport because of the environmental externalities of land use congestion and pollution this proposal presents an econometric methodology to study the interaction between policy and the spatial distribution of economic activity the proposal presents a collection of largescale spatial data that combine individual choices with aggregate outcomes and proposes a methodology that connects partial equilibrium evaluation of policy with spatial general equilibrium models the first project illustrates how we can use a combination of data on individual travel choices and aggregate outcomes on traffic equilibria to estimate a structural econometric bottleneck model of congestion the second project presents a methodology to investigate how the common agricultural policy and natura 2000 affect land use in the european union the common agricultural policy has provided income support to almost 10 million european farmers since 1962 natura 2000 protects 17 of europes terrestrial landmass subsidies in one region affect farmers in another through the open eu agricultural market the third project evaluates policy that affects transport mode costs such as company car taxation company cars receive an implicit subsidy of 50 and represent half of the new vehicle sales in several eu countries such subsidy to commuting by private vehicles impacts the spatial distribution of workers and firms the location choices and resulting commuting patterns drive the policys carbon congestion and pollution externality effects
transforming and defending multilateralism european union support for more robust effective and democratic global governance

the european union eu and its members have long been key supporters of global governance yet the rulesbased international order and multilateralism are widely believed to be in crisis the emerging powers and populist forces have contested and put demands on global governance often resulting in a gridlock of international cooperation the russian war in ukraine will likely further undermine the ability to address global problems ensured a project with 14 partners from the eu us and the brics studies how the eu and its members in a contested world in transition can transform and defend global governance to make it more robust effective and democratic integrating different literatures on international institutions and eu foreign policy ensured develops a conceptual framework on global governance transformation it outlines a triangular dilemma in which the eu and its members must make choices between the robustness effectiveness and democracy of global governance it also considers in this respect different scenarios for multilateralism in a contested world in transition through case studies of five policy areas a quantitative analysis and expert survey ensured empirically assesses and compares the unexploited potential for global governance transformation it thus highlights areas where global governance transformation is most likely based on this empirical analysis ensured provides support for the eu and its members to lead the transformation and defence of multilateralism it outlines strategic choices and develops decision support and communication products that the eu and its members can use such as an online toolkit policy recommendations and strategic narratives ensured thus advances our knowledge about global governance transformation and provides the eu and its members with the tools to navigate a world in transition
rethinking the green revolution in the medieval western mediterranean 6th 16th centuries

as mediterranean societies prepare for the impacts of climate change over the next few decades a case study to inform their future resilience is associated with one of the defining events in world history the emergence of islam in the 7th century the subsequent arab and later berber conquests of the southern and western mediterranean their associated population movements and the environmental adaptations that enabled these new societies to flourish the introduction of new forms of agriculture that transformed the economies of the conquered regions has been previously framed as the green revolution moving beyond the limited focus of earlier research with its restricted spatial and chronological scope this project will adopt an integrated ecological approach encompassing plants animals and soils from production through to consumption and compare the impact and legacy of environmental transformations associated with longterm societal change in the western mediterranean iberia and morocco beyond the initial arabberber conquests adopting a broader chronological span from the century before the conquests through to the century after the dissolution of the last islamic polity in iberia the transition from islamic to christian regimes in iberia will be compared for the first time with the persistence of islamic polities in northwest africa against the backdrop of climatic fluctuations this will enable relationships between environmental transformations and sequences of political and demographic change to be effectively contextualised the synergy between our groups will combine regional specialisms with a wealth of scientific expertise enabling us to conduct the first longterm and interregional study of how conquest migration and encounters with resident populations and landscapes drove environmental transformation in the western mediterranean during this formative period in world history
