before copyright printing privileges and the politics of knowledge in early modern europe

be4copy examines the longterm history of printing privileges from a crossdisciplinary and european perspective these privileges provided exclusive rights for the production of books and images they can be considered one of the precursors of what we now call copyrights introduced around 1470 shortly after the invention of the printing press privileges were abolished around 1789 when new notions of ownership emerged alongside new ideas about political representation the be4copy project studies the changing nature of the printing privilege over the course of these turbulent 300 years the intimate relationship between legal frameworks and the politics of knowledge is the primary focus of the project although numerous studies have examined printing privileges in their local context there are to date no historical studies that have examined how different european systems of printing privileges were interrelated be4copy will change that and thus contribute to a better understanding of the origins of copyrights as a specific form of shared european heritage it does so by 1 examining the distribution of printing privileges on a european scale exposing existing trade routes and political alliances and 2 rethinking the relationship between legal protection and political interests how did shifting discourses of expertise and stewardship influence the proprietorship of intellectual creations how did the interplay between law economy and politics shape the production of knowledge and how did authorship and ownership eventually emerge in that context as twin categories be4copy employs an innovative archivebased approach centred around the crosscutting themes of censorship and promotion travelling ideas and people and authorship and readership the project adds a new layer to our evolving understanding of copyright and opens up new perspectives regarding the question of how knowledge was produced and shared in early modern europe
first economicallyviable process for phosphate recovery

the eu has listed phosphorus p and phosphate rock as a critical raw material due to supply uncertainties related to 90 imported rock phosphate imports 90 of used p is irreversibly lost our solution converts p rich waste streams eg sewage sludge ashes ssa and struvite into phosphoric acid used in the fertilizer and flame retardant industries and chemicals for wastewater treatment and the construction industry susphos will create europes independent supply of p flame retardants fr and fertilizer industries will readily consume these highvalue products halogenated frs are toxic and the manufacturers are switching from halogenbased ingredients to phosphates derived from rock phosphate there are no methods that can upcycle prich ssa for direct use by fr and fertilizer manufacturers that use 34m t of phosphates worth 184b by 2026 susphos will earn 439m pa with the potential to displace 20 of conventionally produced phosphates and eliminate 39m tonnes of co2

effect of climate change on greenhouse gas fluxes from marine artic regions

current global warming is faster in the arctic already affecting the region profoundly in the arctic key players that likely have a strong impact on global warming are permafrost and gas hydrates because both host large amounts of carbon permafrost and gas hydrates also likely occur offshore as relics of the pleistocene current global warming may cause melting of these marine permafrost and gas hydrates and release more greenhouse gases into the ocean or even atmosphere climatic feedback however the geologic processes that govern such melting and the sensitivity to climate change are poorly constrained here i propose an original combination of approaches to assess the contribution of sub arctic marine gas hydrate and permafrost systems to marine geologic greenhouse gas emissions greenflux first i will investigate the sensitivity of these marine systems and associated fluid flow systems to climate change across the ne greenland shelf by using seismic and acoustic data in combination with paleooceanographic proxies from sediment cores second a detailed study of the kattegat offshore denmark provides an analogue for the spatiotemporal evolution of subarctic fluid flow systems in response to climatic changes i will compare these two regions one arctic and one now temperate to evaluate how the environmental differences impact gas release and how the arctic is likely to develop in a future warmer world greenflux will break new ground in our understanding of how climate change will influence marine gas hydrates permafrost and associated fluid flow in arctic regions and generate new knowledge on how much greenhouse gas these systems contribute to natural geologic emissions the results will therefore be of importance to a wide audience ranging from all earth scientists to policy makers and the general public because they contribute to improvements of climatic models that help us as society predict and deal with the effects of climate change
