The document discusses current and future funding challenges for Europeana, a digital platform that provides access to European cultural heritage. It notes that:
1) Past EU funding for Europeana is ending and future funding under the Connecting Europe Facility is uncertain due to budget cuts, requiring Europeana to diversify its funding sources.
2) Europeana will face strong competition for the limited Connecting Europe Facility funds and will need to demonstrate sustainability to receive support.
3) Stakeholder support from member states, cultural institutions, and others will be important to make the case for continued EU funding of Europeana.

Enterprise Europe Network – Sector Group IE Meeting Belfast October 2016, Snapshot presentation of South-west Bulgaria renewable energy sector and trends, Plamen Todorov.
The European Commission has recently estimated the investment needs in energy (electricity and gas) infrastructure of European importance to be about €200 billion up to 2020 . The Commission has also stressed that, under a business as usual scenario, almost half of these investments are at risk of not being delivered in time or at all, leaving a gap of about €100 billion.
The main identified obstacles are problems related to permit granting, regulatory issues and financing; and those cannot be fully overcome by the existing measures.
In this context, the European Commission has proposed an Energy Infrastructure package, which we introduce in this presentation.

Project Red: 9 Technology Practices That Improve Education the Mostsocrato
Schools are in a technology implementation crisis. While education technology best practices have a significant positive impact, they are not widely and consistently practiced. The Project Red Research documents nine key implemntation factors are linked most strongly to education success.
• Very few schools implement technology properly despite knowing that technology improves learning only when deployed frequently in appropriate learning environments.
• Very few schools implement most of the key implementation factors (KIFs) despite previous large investments in infrastructure and hardware.

Health promotion through collaboration presentation kelly klarichKelly J. Klarich
Healthcare can only go so far in controlling the health of a patient or population due to social, economic, environmental and behavioral determinants such as economic stability, education, food sources, environmental impacts and the individual choices people make with respect to their health. As a result of these influences not in the control of the healthcare system is it realistic to think that healthcare organizations can impact the over-all health of a population group on their own? If you are interesting in learning more about the impacts of social determinants on health or how you can get involved in improving the health of American's, take a look at the attached presentation or visit http://www.healthypeople.gov/.
We all have a part to play in lowering spending on medical services and promoting health. The behavioral choices we make and the social influences impacting health must be understood and addressed if we are to improve the overall health of the U.S.

Designing the Ideal Capstone Station-Based Assessment by Maximizing ExamSoft'...ExamSoft
Presented by Jayzona Alberto, Academic Manager, and Jorge Godinez, Academic Manager, Western University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine
Many health profession programs use station-based assessments because they offer an opportune method of evaluating student performance in both skills and knowledge. Typically, these types of assessments are logistically complex and require weeks of planning to run smoothly. In years past, Western University of Health Sciences – College of Dental Medicine (WUCDM) has managed its station-based exams using a paper format, requiring a lengthy grading period of up to a month. ExamSoft has served as a solution for the administration of fully electronic station-based assessments, resulting in the elimination of paper, minimization of time spent planning, and a quicker turnaround of grades and feedback to the students. In this presentation, participants will learn how WUCDM designed the ideal capstone station-based exam by using all of ExamSoft’s best features, including faculty-graded rubrics, self-grading, SofTest-M, video attachments, disabling backward navigation, timer, and more! Additionally, the presenters will discuss the components and logistics of designing a station-based assessment as well as the value of transitioning to a fully electronic platform for grading these types of assessments. Participants will be able to apply much of the process implemented by WUCDM to their own institutions. This is a session you won’t want to miss!

Editor's Notes
Currentfunding for Europeana Foundationensureduntil mid-2014. Furtherfundinglikelyfromthisyear's ICT PSP call.
Large-scale innovation activities have been launched in recent years based on the results of the research work carried out in previous programmes. From 2008 onward our efforts to make cultural heritage more widely accessible online have been coordinated and integrated through Europeana (www.europeana.eu).As a single access point to Europe's cultural heritage, Europeana provides access to culture for all, including education, work and leisure, and serves as a hub for the creative industries and the innovative re-use of cultural material. Europeana is a well-established brand worldwide. Its main function is to aggregate distributed digitised collections of European culture (currently from 2,200+ cultural institutions) and provide multilingual access through a single entry point.It represents today the largest open database of cultural objects in the world (nearly 27 million objects with open metadata) and has reached a critical mass of content representative of the richness and diversity of European culture.The cluster includes 35 projects with a total funding of €95 million and more than 700 participants. Most of the current projects focus on aggregating content within Europeana (18) and digitisation of content (9).Access to content and clear conditions for its reuse are powerful barriers hampering the commercial exploitation of digital cultural heritage. Europeana Creative is developing a platform deploying the Europeana Application Programming Interface (API) and a number of services tailored to the needs of commercial players who wish to develop value-added products based on Europeana content.Only in the past few years technologies to digitise and visualise 3D monuments have become widely available. 3D-icon is digitising a series of architectural and archaeological masterpieces of world and European significance to provide 3D models and related digital content to Europeana. The project focuses on UNESCO World Heritage monuments and other monuments of outstanding value. Its results could be used to promote tourism as well as in educational applications or for the creation of video games scenarios.
DSIs are delivered electronically providing trans-European interoperable services of common interest for citizens, businesses and/or governments
Anyother DSI alsoincludeDSIsproposed by DGsotherthan CNECT.
With regard to digital service infrastructures, building blocks shall take priority over other digital service infrastructures, since the former are a pre-condition for the later. Digital service infrastructures should, inter alia, create European added value and meet proven needs. They should be sufficiently mature for deployment, technically as well as operationally as proven in particular through successful piloting. They should be based on a concrete sustainability plan to ensure the long-term operation of core service platforms beyond the CEF. Financial assistance under this Regulation should therefore wherever possible be phased out over time and funding from sources other than the CEF should be mobilised.
To a limitedextent alternative sources of funding for someactivitiesaround Europeana could come from Horizon 2020 or fromCreative Europe, but these programmes are not designed to substitute cutfundingfrom CEF.
E.g. Denmarkusing Europeana as nationalaggregators
Moral supportisverywell, but not enough.
Inparanthesis
The new programmes offerfunding for a number of activities, but will not cover all the costs.Enabling and engaging in reuse of cultural materialcan open up new, alternative ways of funding.
