This conference is based on the latest directive created by the EU Parliament and the EU Committee for
Transport and Tourism for clean vehicles. Focusing on the role electric vehicles can have in reaching various
emission targets from previous global and European directives as well as the demands on governments and cities
throughout the EU on reaching these latest targets.
The event will allow cities and governments from throughout Europe to hear what other member states are doing,
initiatives that have shown clear promise and also the reason as to why this directive was introduced.
Highlighting major aspects and the most frequently asked questions on financial incentives, safety, commerce and
responsibility, after the conference we should all have a clearer understanding of who should be doing what in
the push to meet the requirements of the directive.
Hear from ministers of transport, city officials and energy experts. The time to start with electric vehicle infrastructure
is now. FInd out more: http://electricvehicles2020.org/
Conference is taking place on 17th March in Stockholm

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Presentation at HM Ambassador's Residence, Pari...Steven Wilson
A team presentation from both public and private sectors from Cambridgeshire & Peterborough at: "Tech Nations: Toward building the Next Generation of France-British Tech Trailblazers", hosted by Lord Ed Llewellyn, and organised by DIT France, led by Oriel Petry, and her Technology Team (led from Lyons by Isabelle Hurley).
The event focused on Smart Cities, Cybersecurity and the Creative Industries, and the team comprised representatives from Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority about our role and ambitions, and two local companies with a global customer base: Telensa and Darktrace about their cutting-edge products and services in e.g. smart lighting and threat detection. References were also made to promote e.g. Cambridge Network, Cambridge Ahead, CW, Cambridge Cleantech and the REACTOR applied gaming incubator / accelerator at Anglia Ruskin University. Games Eden's Chair was in the audience.
The audience (mainly Franco-British) were Industrial CEOs, Regional Leaders and Entrepreneurs. UK CEOs giving keynotes were Gerard Grech of TechNation - who gave as an exemplar the new Bradfield Centre incubator / co-working space on Cambridge Science Park - and Jeremy Silver of the Digital Catapult. The Ambassador also welcomed all to his home, and encouraged collaboration on technology across the Channel.
This key event - held in such a flagship prestigious venue - also gave the opportunity to apprise a French audience of the @CambsPboroCA strategic priorities, around the key theme of being the leading place in the world to live, learn and work and opened the dialogue with our Embassy on potential future metro Mayoral exchanges.
Specific outcomes thus far include several useful commercial interactions e.g. on CAVs, and also with a London-based SME.

European Decision Support Days 2015 agendaCopperberg
The market of BI is shifting from early adoption to actual implementation.
It has gradually evolved from being rigid to a much more
flexible, agile process, that is cloud enabled, that organizations
as well as individuals can utilize. This change has now reached Europe,
with 37% of the companies performing Business Intelligence projects.
Big Data is projected to be a $28.5 billion market in 2014, growing to
$50.1 billion in 2015. The average business expects to spend about $8
million on Big Data related activities.
The early adopters of Business Intelligence and Big Data have
gained a significant advantage. Bain & Company examined over
400 large companies and their research has shown that those
with the most advanced analytics capabilities are outperforming
their competitors by wide margins. Leaders in the field are twice as
likely to be in the top quartile of financial performance within their
industries, five times as likely to make decisions much faster than
market peers and are three times as likely to execute decisions as
intended.
Advanced users of BI are now shifting from desktop to mobile, but
the question is how to manage this shift and overcome issues to
enable mobile decision support for decision making anytime, anywhere.
Converging the cloud and BI to enable the central coordination of
applications for information delivery to any device asks for a complete
tool that meets quality standards. Up till today, a complete tool
does not exist and it is very challenging to show the value of BI to
convince management and support decisions. This lack of value
measurements results in difficulties of ROI measurements of BI
solutions and thus the demand for performance management is
growing momentum.
After the staggering success and interest for our local Business Intelligence
conferences in Stockholm, Oslo and Amsterdam, we are
now glad to present our inaugural Pan-European Decision Support
Days conference. The Decision Support Days is not just a conference.
It is a business focused benchmarking tool for strategy makers and
business owners working with Business Intelligence and Business
Analytics from across Europe and beyond. The conference will shed
light on the current BI or BA strategies, processes, tools and models
that organisations in Europe and beyond are using in order to utilize
both internal and external data to drive business and enable faster
data-driven decision making.

Manufacturing Pricing Excellence 2014 post event reportCopperberg
Research shows that 70% of change project fail. Pricing projects and pricing transformations need a strong change management approach including a vision, a success team coalition, a compelling need for change, and a change management toolbox. Event and The CAP™ certification, what is part of it, program reviews the entire change management process and focuses on 10 critical dimensions of change in pricing and value management.
Imagine a world in which people and goods can move with minimum impact on the local environment and climate. Imagine an intelligent transport system with smart infrastructure and smart, connected vehicles powered predominantly by renewable energy, and with enlightened end-users: private individuals and enterprises. Imagine a system that is actually based on user demand. That is what we would like to see.
To put mobility and transport on the track to sustainability, we have to improve energy efficiency, switch to renewable energy and more efficient modes of mobility, and, most importantly, increase smartness at all levels of the system. In practice, the last point means smart and efficient mobility services, cooperative systems, and intelligent vehicles and infrastructure.
VTT has a toolbox and the expertise to tackle all the key challenges of smart low-carbon mobility. And, to really make an impact, we are cooperating with all the key stakeholders in the field. Let us re-invent mobility and co-create a better future together!

Francisco Javier Fernández (Kunak), Javier Urricelqui (Up Technologies), Daniel Ruiz (Txita Txirrindak), David Astráin (Instituto Samart Cities, UPNA), Florencio Manteca (CENER). Modera: Juan Cristóbal García ( Zabala Innovation Consulting).
In this edition the focus is Sustainable Urban Mobility. Our region has several good examples of how we can reduce the use of fossil fuels within sustainable urban mobility systems and create liveable cities. The Bulletin both provides examples of technical solutions and innovative campaigns from the UBC member-cities as well as displaying several externally co-funded mobility projects that covers a series of cities around the Baltic Sea Region.
In the editorial Mr Siim Kallas, EU Commissioner on transport and vice president for the EU Commission, stresses the importance of acknowledging also the economic benefits of developing sustainable urban mobility systems. He further on emphasise the necessity to stimulate markets that foster sustainable mobility supplies and the unpredictable future of fossil fuel as the dominant source for our vehicle fleets.
This compendium of case studies was written by local authorities for local authorities, as part of the Clean Fleets project.
The case studies outline concrete procurement activities of public authorities and fleet operators. They illustrate real examples of vehicle procurement in detail including results and lessons learned. We hope to inspire others to learn from and replicate these examples.
Each case study includes contact details for those who would like to discuss the activity in more detail.

A big thank you to the Speakers, Organisers and everyone who attended the event!
Thirteen companies and industry associations from European industry have joined forces and identified key asks on the upcoming Low Emission Mobility Package that is in preparation.
Europe could improve its growth prospects and create 500,000 to 1.1 million net additional jobs in 2030 through auto sector innovation. Increased technology to cut fuel consumption would allow the EU to reduce its dependence on foreign oil and deliver between €58 and €83 billion a year in fuel savings for the EU economy by 2030. This shift will achieve the double bonus of mitigating climate change and creating a much-needed economic stimulus.
Key findings:
• Jobs are created by increased spending on vehicle technology, but more importantly by a shift in spending away from imported fossil fuels and back towards other areas of the European economy.
• In scenarios in which the Internal Combustion Engine is either optimized or hybridized, the yearly cost of running and replacing the EU car and van fleet is reduced by €36 billion and EU-wide employment increases by 500,000 to 660,000 in 2030. This takes account of jobs lost in the transition, such as in refining.
• In scenarios in which Europe moves rapidly to a fleet of advanced hybrid, battery-electric and fuel-cell vehicles, EU-wide employment increases by 850,000 to 1.1 million in 2030. By 2050, jobs increase by 1.9 million to 2.3 million in all low-carbon scenarios examined.
• The fuel bill for Europe’s car and van fleet is reduced by €58 – 83 billion in 2030 by a shift to low-carbon vehicles, and by €115 – 180 billion in 2050. (excluding taxes and duties)
• While jobs are created and spending on oil imports is reduced in all low-carbon scenarios, CO2 is also cut by between 64 per cent and 97 per cent in 2050. Air quality is significantly improved, with emissions of health-damaging particulates down by 73 – 95 per cent by 2050.
• Demand is reduced for a small fraction of auto sector professions, and some skill shortages also emerge during the transition. The pace of change is likely to allow time for the development of the relevant new skills in Europe, if industry, governments and academic institutions start planning now

Changing times ask for solid relationships.
Times are changing. A renewed interest from big pharma in the rare disease landscape
has awakened due to large-scale patent expirations, competition from generics &
biosimilars, anemic pipelines, escalating clinical trial costs and a global health-care
reform. This means that the traditional blockbuster model has become less viable while
the revenue-generating potential of orphan drugs has shown to be huge with a greater
return on investment than non-orphan drugs. According to EvaluatePharma, the orphan
drugs sales will grow at an annual rate of 11% and constitute 19% of the total share of
prescription drugs by 2020, totalling 176 billion dollars.
The rare disease landscape is very complex due to the large amount of stakeholders
involved. Despite their different interests they have one goal in common: getting an
orphan drug approval that will help save or improve lives. But there are many challenges
on the road to orphan drug designation:
• Complex and changing national and regional regulations
• Clinical trial design and finding & keeping patients
• The lack of a central database designed specifically to list patient registries, which
asks for close stakeholder engagement
• Partnering and establishing financing for future development
• Establishing a foundation for price that is balanced and sustainable
• Achieving an efficient and timely access to market with equal access for patients
around the world
• Achieving timely and correct diagnosis to enable higher quality of life and more time
and information for developers

Stand your ground online – the future growth for the National Lottery
The real money gaming market is a growing and valuable segment of the digital economy, with an increasing share of the global gaming market. The interactive gaming market was estimated to be worth €26.1billion in 2013, with a predicted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1% to 2018.
In the last few years online gaming’s development has benefited from the roll-out of broadband services; from technology innovation and the rapid expansion of smartphones and tablets; from investment by the industry to promote its services; from increased consumer trust in payment mechanisms; and from traditional bricks and mortar businesses making it online.
Growth has also been driven by an expanding customer demographic. As the early adopters, who typically were in the 18–25 age-bracket, become older and continue to play, they are being joined by the next generation of gamers, whom enjoy their first gaming experience online through phones and tablets.
National Lottery Forum will give national gaming and gambling executives an opportunity to assess the competitive landscape and establish
road-maps to effectively compete with other operators. By understanding which platforms and technology to invest in, national operators can
maintain desirable offers to their customers and prevent any further loss of revenue.
The 3rd Manufacturing Pricing conference is taking place on May 20th - 22nd at Barcelo Sants, Barcelona, Spain. Last year over 120 pricing experts from across Europe and beyond came to discuss, share, learn and network around several themes such as value based pricing and TCO, pricing strategies in a highly competitive market, change management in pricing, ROI in pricing, pricing initiatives, pricing execution improvement, analytics-enabled pricing optimization and much more.
Key topics considered to run a successful field service business included knowledge management, workforce planning & scheduling, and competence development. As technicians are the face of the company to the eyes of the customers, there is a great need to have a skilled workforce; however, expertise is running scarcer and scarcer, so the ability to capture knowledge and transfer it from experienced technicians to coming talent is critical. Lastly, having control and visibility of the whole workforce is key to improving response time and thus excelling at customer service.
What are your pressing issues for the year?

silent turmoil over the past years. On the
one hand, online gaming is Europe`s fastest
growing service activity with a predicted
global gambling gross win increase of 60
percent over the next 3 years. On the other
hand, as consumer access to gaming
increases in line with the evolution of
online and mobile technologies, industry
regulations remain strict and inconsistent.
In order to push and move forward, it is
crucial to capture the drivers behind the
changes.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Editors Note
This conference is based on the latest directive created by the EU Parliament and the EU Committee for
Transport and Tourism for clean vehicles. Focusing on the role electric vehicles can have in reaching various
emission targets from previous global and European directives as well as the demands on governments and cities
throughout the EU on reaching these latest targets.
The event will allow cities and governments from throughout Europe to hear what other member states are doing,
initiatives that have shown clear promise and also the reason as to why this directive was introduced.
Highlighting major aspects and the most frequently asked questions on financial incentives, safety, commerce and
responsibility, after the conference we should all have a clearer understanding of who should be doing what in
the push to meet the requirements of the directive.
Hear from ministers of transport, city officials and energy experts. The time to start with electric vehicle infrastructure
is now.
