The Broken Generational Contract in Europe: Generous transfers to the elderly population, low investments in children
Creators: name: Hammer, Bernhard
name: Istenič, Tanja
name: Vargha, Lili
Publisher: name: Intergenerational Justice Review
Year: 2018
Subjects: Generational Contract; Intergenerational Transfers; National Transfer Accounts; Intergenerational Indicators

description: Based on European National Transfer Accounts data from 2010, this paper quantifies and evaluates the balance of intergenerational transfer flows in 16 EU countries, including transfers in the form of unpaid household work. On average, the value of net transfers received by a child amounts to sixteen times the labour income of a full-time worker, and the net transfers received by an elderly person to six times the labour income of a full-time worker. Intergenerational transfers can be regarded as the reciprocal exchange between two generations: the size of the transfers to the child generation determines their potential to generate income and finance public transfers to the elderly population once they enter employment. We develop and calculate an indicator to analyse if there is a balance between transfers to children and transfers expected by the elderly population. The results indicate that in most of the analysed countries the human capital investments in children are far too low to finance the generous transfers to the elderly population in the future.

description: It was recently discovered that the low temperature, charge ordered phase of 1T-TiSe2 has a chiral character. This unexpected chirality in a system described by a scalar order parameter could be explained in a model where the emergence of relative phase shifts between three charge density wave components breaks the inversion symmetry of the lattice. Here, we present experimental evidence for the sequence of phase transitions predicted by that theory, going from disorder to non-chiral and finally to chiral charge order. Employing X-ray diffraction, specific heat, and electrical transport measurements, we find that a novel phase transition occurs ~7 K below the main charge ordering transition in TiSe2, in agreement with the predicted hierarchy of charge ordered phases.

Intergenerational Justice in Public Finance: A Canadian case study
Creators: name: Kershaw, Paul
Publisher: name: Intergenerational Justice Review
Year: 2018
Subjects: Taxes; Government Expenditures; Generational Equity; Housing Wealth; Public Reporting

description: This study examines whether Canadian governments have adapted budgets for the ageing population in accordance with norms of intergenerational justice. Public finance data in 2016 are analysed compared to 1976 in light of three constructs: the elderly/non-elderly ratio of social spending change, intergenerational reciprocity, and ability to pay. Findings include that (i) governments increased per capita spending for seniors 4.2 times faster than for those under the age of 45; (ii) public finance requires younger Canadians to contribute 22%-62% more in income taxes for the elderly now by comparison with 1976; and (iii) the contemporary ageing population has a greater ability to pay than cohorts immediately before and after them.

Magic state distillation in all prime dimensions using quantum Reed-Muller codes

description: We propose families of protocols for magic state distillation -- important components of fault tolerance schemes --- for systems of odd prime dimension. Our protocols utilize quantum Reed-Muller codes with transversal non-Clifford gates. We find that, in higher dimensions, small and effective codes can be used that have no direct analogue in qubit (two-dimensional) systems. We present several concrete protocols, including schemes for three-dimensional (qutrit) and five-dimensional (ququint) systems. The five-dimensional protocol is, by many measures, the best magic state distillation scheme yet discovered. It excels both in terms of error threshold with respect to depolarising noise (36.3%) and the efficiency measure know as "yield", where, for a large region of parameters, it outperforms its qubit counterpart by many orders of magnitude.

description: Emma Gendron was probably the main female figure in Quebec during the silent film era, but her importance appeared only recently along with new research about the early cinema and its centennial. Ongoing research about her career as a screenwriter will probably also reveal more about her motion picture film activity, but she is now recognized as the first important screenwriter in Quebec. She wrote at least two scripts that were brought to the screen by her probable lover, Joseph-Arthur Homier—Madeleine de Verchères (1922), a biopic about a New France heroine, and La drogue fatale (1924), a thriller in which the drug mafia kidnaps the police chief’s daughter. Gendron might have written other scripts and might also have been more involved in directing these films, but nothing is proven as the films, and along with most of the relevant paper archives, were destroyed.

Natal astrology

description: This paper examines a 9th-century Arabic text of genethlialogical astrology, arguing that while it presents itself as heir to a Greek science deriving from India, it is also a testament to the pervasive role played by Sasanian intellectual culture in the 8th- to 10th-century Greek-Arabic translation movement. After a description of the astrological text and its manuscripts, I turn to its technical vocabulary, focusing in particular on what its use of a Middle Persian technical term betrays about the text's origins and the intellectual tradition in which it is to be situated. Finally, I argue that the tension between the text's self-presentation as part of the ancient Greek astrological tradition and its Persian vocabulary can be resolved by considering how the text promotes itself: as a gateway to true knowledge through ancient science.
La historia tragicómica de don Henrique de Castro : la primera novela histórica hispanoamericana
Creators: name: Sanchez, Fresia Inés Sánchez
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In 1617, Francisco Loubayssin de la Marca published his Historia tragicómica de don Henrique de Castro, a novel that narrates the adventures of several characters, their relationships with one another, and their travels throughout the world. The work has been categorized within the scope of several different literary genres, such as the Byzantine, the sentimental, and the picaresque, to name a few. Though the text has received some historical criticism by George Ticknor, José Toribio Medina, Cedomil Goiĉ and Arsenio Pacheco-Ranzans, it has not been studied in depth, nor has it been published as a modern critical edition. The purpose of this thesis is twofold. It presents a modernized and annotated edition of the Historia tragicómica de don Henrique de Castro and an overall study of Loubayssin de la Marca’s principal works. Engaños deste siglo y historia sucedida en nuestros tiempos, Historia tragicómica de don Henrique de Castro and the Panegírico al gran Cardenal Duque de Richelieu are discussed within the framework of the Spanish novel in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Chapter 1 identifies Fernando de Rojas, Lope de Vega, Miguel de Cervantes and Alonso de Ercilla’s influence in Loubayssin’s works. It analyzes Loubayssin’s use of different narrative models which were popular at that time. Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive study of the historical, political, social-economic, religious and cultural situation in Spain and France from the sixteenth to the seventeenth centuries. The modernized and annotated edition of the Historia tragicómica de don Henrique de Castro is presented in Chapter 3. This thesis demonstrates that this novel is an innovative historical narrative, the first of many that will incorporate elements of the “discovery” and conquest of the New World. As such, it should be considered for a more accurate configuration of the Early Modern Spanish novel. We hope that this study will contribute to this process.
A quantum Mermin--Wagner theorem for quantum rotators on two--dimensional graphs

description: This is the first of a series of papers considering symmetry properties of quantum systems over 2D graphs or manifolds, with continuous spins, in the spirit of the Mermin--Wagner theorem. In the model considered here (quantum rotators) the phase space of a single spin is a $d-$dimensional torus, and spins (or particles) are attached to sites of a graph satisfying a special bi-dimensionality property. The kinetic energy part of the Hamiltonian is minus a half of the Laplace operator. We assume that the interaction potential is C$^2$-smooth and invariant under the action of a connected Lie group ${\ttG}$. A part of our approach is to give a definition (and a construction) of a class of infinite-volume Gibbs states for the systems under consideration (the class $\fG$). This class contains the so-called limit Gibbs states, with or without boundary conditions. We use ideas and techniques originated from various past papers, in combination with the Feynman--Kac representation, to prove that any state lying in the class $\fG$ (defined in the text) is ${\ttG}$-invariant. An example is given where the interaction potential is singular and there exists a Gibbs state which is not ${\ttG}$-invariant. In the next paper under the same title we establish a similar result for a bosonic model where particles can jump from a vertex of the graph to one of its neighbors (a generalized Hubbard model).

description: In 1920, Lillian Gish both delivered a landmark performance in D.W. Griffith’s Way Down East and directed her sister Dorothy in Remodelling Her Husband. This was her sole director credit in a career as a screen actor that began with An Unseen Enemy in 1912 and ended with The Whales of August in 1987. Personal correspondence examined by biographer Charles Affron shows that Gish lobbied Griffith for the opportunity to direct and approached the task with enthusiasm. In 1920, in Motion Picture Magazine, however, Gish offered the following assessment of her experience: “There are people born to rule and there are people born to be subservient. I am of the latter order. I just love to be subservient, to be told what to do” (102). One might imagine that she discovered a merely personal kink. In a Photoplay interview that same year, however, she extended her opinion to encompass all women and in doing so slighted Lois Weber, one of Hollywood’s most productive directors. “I am not strong enough” to direct, Gish told Photoplay, “I doubt if any woman is. I understand now why Lois Weber was always ill after a picture” (29). What should historical criticism do with such evidence?

description: Which party characteristics contribute to the representation of young legislators? We examine this question quantitatively, focusing on the European Parliament (EP), and gauge the influence of the age of the party leader, the age of the party, the size of its support, party ideology and party nomination procedures on the age of politicians, based on data of all members who have served in the EP. We find that none of these characteristics matter substantively in explaining young representatives’ presence and discuss ways to further the field of research on youth representation.

description: Agnes Adele Wangenheim was born in Sydney in 1872. At the age of eighteen, she married Barney Kurtz, but divorced him not long after. She was Agnes Kurtz on the first of October 1898, when she married Sydney-born stage actor John Francis Henry Gavin, then twenty-three years old. They were a striking pair: John, tall and dark, bluff and hearty, with a broad smile; Agnes smaller, attractive, with a clear, olive complexion and bright, dark eyes. Together they worked as actors in the Bland Holt stage company and in vaudeville for many years before entering motion pictures together in H.A. Forsyth’s 1910 production of Thunderbolt in which John played the title character and Agnes may have played a gypsy. The Gavins were not unusual for their time, working as a partnership, but with the husband in the more public and visible role. On Forsyth’s next film, Moonlite (1910), John moved into direction while Agnes played the aboriginal girl Bunda in blackface. John then directed several films in 1911 for Crick and Finlay (Ben Hall and His Gang; Frank Gardiner, King of the Road; The Assigned Servant; Keane of Kalgoorlie) and followed Stanley Crick into the Australian Photo-Play Company, directing The Mark of the Lash (1911). He then branched out on his own, forming John F. Gavin Productions, which produced two further films in 1911: The Drover’s Sweetheart and Assigned to his Wife.

description: The extinct p-process nuclide 146Sm serves as an astrophysical and geochemical chronometer through measurements of isotopic anomalies of its alpha-decay daughter 142Nd. Based on analyses of 146Sm/147Sm alpha-activity and atom ratios, we determined the half-life of 146Sm to be 68 \pm 7 (1sigma) million years (Ma), which is shorter than the currently used value of 103 \pm 5 Ma. This half-life value implies a higher initial 146Sm abundance in the early solar system, (146Sm/144Sm_0 = 0.0094\pm0.0005 (2sigma), than previously estimated. Terrestrial, Lunar and Martian planetary silicate mantle differentiation events dated with 146Sm-142Nd converge to a shorter time span and in general to earlier times, due to the combined effect of the new 146Sm half-life and (146Sm/144Sm)_0 values.

description: This discussion paper proposes a new approach to conducting human rights impact assessments (HRIAs) of business operations or projects, which brings together project-affected people, the company, and other stakeholders to jointly design and implement an assessment. The aim of this new approach is to address one of the key challenges of current HRIA practices: the limited engagement and participation of relevant stakeholders, which can undermine effectiveness and trust.
The paper outlines factors that will affect the effectiveness of such an approach and describes a number of steps that will be required for a successful process, from ensuring meaningful participation and capacity building of all stakeholders involved in the assessment to carefully governing and funding the process. This collaborative approach is designed to improve communication between relevant stakeholders, increase access to relevant information for rights holders, encourage greater engagement with the findings and recommendations of the assessment, and, most importantly, ensure increased prevention or mitigation of negative human rights impacts.
The paper is the result of a two-year long research project, supported by The Tiffany & Co. Foundation, and is based on extensive desktop research; interviews with 49 people with relevant experience, including representatives of companies, civil society organizations, communities, and academia; as well as a round table that brought together over a dozen stakeholders and HRIA experts to provide feedback on the research findings and recommendations.

description: We characterize a periodically poled KTP crystal that produces an entangled, two-mode, squeezed state with orthogonal polarizations, nearly identical, factorizable frequency modes, and few photons in unwanted frequency modes. We focus the pump beam to create a nearly circular joint spectral probability distribution between the two modes. After disentangling the two modes, we observe Hong-Ou-Mandel interference with a raw (background corrected) visibility of 86 % (95 %) when an 8.6 nm bandwidth spectral filter is applied. We measure second order photon correlations of the entangled and disentangled squeezed states with both superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors and photon-number-resolving transition-edge sensors. Both methods agree and verify that the detected modes contain the desired photon number distributions.
Essays on corporate leasing
Creators: name: Zhang, Na
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Leasing is one of the most important sources of external finance to corporate firms. Better understanding of the determinants of corporate leasing behavior is critical for us to study the capital structure and investment of firms. However, it has been overlooked in the theoretical and empirical literature on investment. This thesis studies the determinants of corporate leasing. Each chapter presents a separate essay. The first chapter studies the role of uncertainty and financial constraint in understanding firms' leasing decisions. Although leasing costs more than owning capital in the long run, it provides operational flexibility for firms. In addition, leases are easier to finance than purchases. The benefits of leasing are particularly attractive to firms with high uncertainty and more financial constraints. This chapter develops a dynamic model and predicts that firms with high uncertainty and firms that are more financially constrained lease more of their capital than firms with low uncertainty and firms that are less financially constrained. Using data on publicly-traded firms in the U.S., this chapter provides evidence consistent with the prediction of the model. The second chapter documents that leasing is countercyclical over business cycles. Firms lease more during economic downturns, and are more willing to buy capital during up cycles. One key benefit of leasing is that leases are easier to finance than purchases. This benefit is particularly important to firms with financial constraints. Firms face tighter financing conditions during recessions. Therefore, leasing is more attractive during recessions. This chapter develops a model to explain the observed countercyclical pattern of leasing. The third chapter utilizes data from 81 countries to examine how legal environments affect firms' leasing behavior. The results suggest that leasing is less used in countries with weak legal environments. Firms in countries with weak legal environments tend to avoid the use of leasing contracts because the contracts are costly to enforce. I also find that leasing has a measurable impact on both firm growth and GDP growth. Leasing can help increase capital availability and improve operational efficiency, and thus may contribute to growth. The results provide a policy implication that possible adjustments in legal systems can facilitate the availability of leasing and thus may generate real economics gains.

description: Elvira Giallanella was a film producer and distributor. She also wrote and directed one film, Umanità (1920). Like many other women in the Italian film industry in the late 1910s, she began her career as a film distributor under her own name or possibly under the name of the company Verafilm. In 1917-1919, while at Verafilm, Giallanella also began collaborating on the production of films with the company founder, the journalist, director, stage designer, and screenwriter Aldo Molinari. First of three siblings, Giallanella was the only survivor. Her elder sister died at birth in 1887 and her other sister died of tuberculosis in 1915, leaving behind a husband and a very young daughter, Liana. These family events left a deep mark on Giallanella’s life and career.

description: KEK and NIMS have been jointly developing Nb3Al superconducting wire with a rapid heating and quenching (RHQ) method towards high field accelerator magnets in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) luminosity upgrade. A15-type superconductors such as Nb3Al and Nb3Sn exhibit strain dependence with respect to their critical currents. Therefore, a thorough understanding of strain behavior is necessary for high field accelerator magnet development, which will be critical for the luminosity upgrade of the LHC.

description: The 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza pandemic demonstrated the global health threat of reassortant influenza strains. Herein, we report a detailed analysis of plasmablast and monoclonal antibody responses induced by pandemic H1N1 infection in humans. Unlike antibodies elicited by annual influenza vaccinations, most neutralizing antibodies induced by pandemic H1N1 infection were broadly cross-reactive against epitopes in the hemagglutinin (HA) stalk and head domain of multiple influenza strains. The antibodies were from cells that had undergone extensive affinity maturation. Based on these observations, we postulate that the plasmablasts producing these broadly neutralizing antibodies were predominantly derived from activated memory B cells specific for epitopes conserved in several influenza strains. Consequently, most neutralizing antibodies were broadly reactive against divergent H1N1 and H5N1 influenza strains. This suggests that a pan-influenza vaccine may be possible, given the right immunogen. Antibodies generated potently protected and rescued mice from lethal challenge with pandemic H1N1 or antigenically distinct influenza strains, making them excellent therapeutic candidates.

description: Cylichna sibogae Schepman, 1913 Figs 30D, E, 34 Cylichna sibogae Schepman, 1913: 472, pl. 32, fig. 7. TYPE MATERIAL. — Probably lost (could not be located at ZMA). TYPE LOCALITY. — Sanana Bay, Sulawesi, Indonesia, 22 m [Siboga: stn 193]. MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Philippines. MUSORSTOM 2: stn DR 34, 13°28’N, 121°12’E, 155-167 m, 2 dd (Figs 30D, E). — MUSORSTOM 3: stn CP 143, 11°29’N, 124°11’E, 205-214 m, 40 dd. DISTRIBUTION. — Originally described from Sanana Bay, Sulawesi, Indonesia (Schepman 1913). Subsequently reported from Sumatra, Indonesia (Thiele 1925). Material herein collected in the Philippines (Fig. 34), in 167-205 m. DESCRIPTION. — Shell morphology. Length 12 mm, width 4 mm (largest specimen examined). Shell solid, elongate, with nearly parallel sides (Fig. 30D). Only 1 whorl visible, forming nearly the entire shell. Apex rounded, with a narrow umbilicus covered by the columellar margin (Fig. 30E), and the aperture lip rising from the centre. Anterior end of the shell rounded. Aperture as long as the shell, wider anteriorly and narrowing gradually at about 1/7 of its length. Columellar margin conspicuously thickened. Umbilicus closed. Sculpture of a number of faint irregular spiral lines. Colour uniform pale grey. Anatomy. Unknown. All shells collected lacked soft parts. REMARKS. — The material here examined matches the original description of Cylichna sibogae by Schepman (1913). Unfortunately the type material is probably lost (it could not be located at ZMA), but the drawings in the original description are good enough to allow a positive identification. Cylichna sibogae is provisionally maintained in the genus Cylichna until complete specimens become available for study.

description: With a film career spanning over four decades—from a vaudeville dancer in an early Edison actuality and a silent comic film actress to an independent producer in the 1920s and a character actor in talkies in the 1930s— Cissy Fitzgerald experienced the vicissitudes of early film history. Born on February 1, 1873, christened Marie Kathleen Cecilia Fitzgerald, and educated in a British convent, Fitzgerald was already famous for her stage dancing and coquettish wink when she made her first screen appearance in 1896. Best known as “The Girl With the Wink,” Fitzgerald primarily worked in theater until her transition to comedic film acting in 1914. She appeared in multiple, trans-Atlantic runs of “The Gaiety Girl,” “The Foundling,” and “The Family.” Although she only appeared in one film role prior to 1914, an Edison Vitascope recording of her dance act in a Boston Keith-Albee show, her stage personality radiated cinematic qualities. From her saucy lingerie dancing to her gleefully incessant winking, Fitzgerald integrated bodily displays with the act of looking while most films were still shot in static, long-framed, proscenium views.

description: Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) reduces the strong interactions, in all their variety, to a simple nonabelian gauge theory. It clearly and elegantly explains hadrons at short distances, which has led to its universal acceptance. Since its advent, however, many of its long-distance, emergent properties have been believed to be true, without having been demonstrated to be true. This paper reviews a variety of results in this regime that have been established with lattice gauge theory, directly from the QCD Lagrangian. This body of work sheds light on the origin of hadron masses, its interplay with dynamical symmetry breaking, as well as on other intriguing features such as the phase structure of QCD. In addition, nonperturbative QCD is quantitatively important to many aspects of particle physics (especially the quark flavor sector), nuclear physics, and astrophysics. This review also surveys some of the most interesting connections to those subjects.

description: The XOR-satisfiability (XORSAT) problem requires finding an assignment of $n$ Boolean variables that satisfy $m$ exclusive OR (XOR) clauses, whereby each clause constrains a subset of the variables. We consider random XORSAT instances, drawn uniformly at random from the ensemble of formulae containing $n$ variables and $m$ clauses of size $k$. This model presents several structural similarities to other ensembles of constraint satisfaction problems, such as $k$-satisfiability ($k$-SAT), hypergraph bicoloring and graph coloring. For many of these ensembles, as the number of constraints per variable grows, the set of solutions shatters into an exponential number of well-separated components. This phenomenon appears to be related to the difficulty of solving random instances of such problems. We prove a complete characterization of this clustering phase transition for random $k$-XORSAT. In particular, we prove that the clustering threshold is sharp and determine its exact location. We prove that the set of solutions has large conductance below this threshold and that each of the clusters has large conductance above the same threshold. Our proof constructs a very sparse basis for the set of solutions (or the subset within a cluster). This construction is intimately tied to the construction of specific subgraphs of the hypergraph associated with an instance of $k$-XORSAT. In order to study such subgraphs, we establish novel local weak convergence results for them.

description: It is known that knot homologies admit a physical description as spaces of open BPS states. We study operators and algebras acting on these spaces. This leads to a very rich story, which involves wall crossing phenomena, algebras of closed BPS states acting on spaces of open BPS states, and deformations of Landau-Ginzburg models. One important application to knot homologies is the existence of "colored differentials" that relate homological invariants of knots colored by different representations. Based on this structure, we formulate a list of properties of the colored HOMFLY homology that categorifies the colored HOMFLY polynomial. By calculating the colored HOMFLY homology for symmetric and anti-symmetric representations, we find a remarkable "mirror symmetry" between these triply-graded theories.

description: In this letter we address some of the issues raised in the literature about the conflict between a large vacuum energy density, apriori predicted by quantum field theory, and the observed dark energy which must be the energy of vacuum or include it. We present a number of arguments against this claim and in favour of a null vacuum energy. They are based on the following arguments: A new definition for the vacuum in quantum field theory as a frame-independent coherent state; Results from a detailed study of condensation of scalar fields in FLRW background performed in a previous work; And our present knowledge about the Standard Model of particle physics. One of the predictions of these arguments is the confinement of nonzero expectation value of Higgs field to scales roughly comparable with the width of electroweak gauge bosons or shorter. If the observation of Higgs by the LHC is confirmed, accumulation of relevant events and their energy dependence in near future should allow to measure the spatial extend of the Higgs condensate.

description: Nineteenth‐century Jerusalem was a city in great transition. It underwent political and administrative reform inspired mainly by the Tanzimat reforms of the Ottoman Sultanate between 1839 and 1876. The arrival of European missionaries, consulates and colonists also ushered it into a new era of European policies towards the city. Similarly, the expansion of the city outside its historical walls and the building of the railway station transformed social and economic life in Jerusalem in unprecedented ways. Jerusalem became the administrative seat of a district that carried its name, its population growing at a rate faster than ever before and its markets flourishing with all kinds of tourist paraphernalia as well as products from Europe and its own hinterlands. These were times of social and political transformations, of modernisation and rising interconnectedness with the rest of the world. Yet, to its European visitors, Jerusalem seemed to embody a world of the past.

Incentives

description: You have the best horse in town, but you don’t get it moving? You have the most beautiful bird, but you don’t get it singing? The solution is not force but well selected incentives to get the best for both of you.

Incentives are the golden key to reach higher goals. This also applies to research data management and the belonging service infrastructures. We want to offer the carrot to get the most out of research data management.

 

Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) is a key player in German agricultural research. Our approach of “Reshaping landscapes by rethinking agriculture” means ZALF conducts research across scales within the landscape. A large variety of high-quality data is required for this research. The nature of these data is as diverse as our landscapes from drone images to laboratory analysis, from high resolution soil sensor geodata to survey data. To fulfil this approach every colleague requires the most suitable RDM support for their field as the most attractive incentive. Tailored support is the secret.

 

For ZALF institutional RDM is a crucial pillar of scientific support. In doing so, there is a clear commitment to open and free data, hence the in-house repository (The BonaRes Repository for soil and agricultural research data: http://doi.org/10.17616/R31NJMVY) was developed as a permanent infrastructure and will be transferred into an open source Geonode (see poster of Marcel Wallschläger, ZALF).

The goal is to establish data publication in qualified repositories as a standard of good scientific practice in addition to conventional publications in scientific journals.

 

In the cause of projects different tools and documents are required which we developed and still develop and can be adapted individually to every project purpose. They facilitate our everyday business. Examples are:

•    An Upload Tool for data towards our repository

•    Templates for agreements to be used within projects (data sharing, data use, authorization to trespass)

•    Handbooks

•    Focus Areas as our solution for geospatial data management

 

Furthermore, the ZALF RDM is legally and administratively integrated.

•    We have a legally sound policy (developed jointly with the legal department and RDM, signed by the board of directors and binding for employees)

•    Every scientist at ZALF needs to publish all data binding to our policy

•    Commitment of ZALF to sufficient RDM resources

 

This poster illustrates our services as incentives to foster RDM in agriculture.
