Montenegro currently imports more energy than it exports but is seeking to become an energy exporter in the future. It is constructing a €100 million transmission line to Italy that will connect several hydropower plants and a wind farm to the Italian electricity grid. Despite introducing feed-in tariffs, renewable energy accounts for only 1% of total installed electricity capacity. However, Montenegro has improved its business environment according to the World Bank's ease of doing business index.
It is the European Commission’s job to propose a seven year ‘Multiannual Financial Framework’ budget to the Council and Parliament. The current proposal stands at €1,025 billion. This represents 1% of the EU’s gross domestic product – while national budgets are around 30-40% of national GDP.
The EU’s budget needs to reflect the high priority given to energy and climate commitments in EU policy in its 2020 climate and renewable energy targets. What is more, EU countries have been undergoing strict austerity measures. The next EU budget needs to be a “growth” budget. (September 2012).

Context, situation and achievements in Morocco
Albania toward large and sustainable energy developments by lorenc gordaniLorenc Gordani
This presentation, based to my daily empirical experience, concentrates an assessment about the huge interest for the foreigner investors on the business opportunities offered in ongoing by the traditional hydropower source and the emerging energy sectors of photovoltaic, wind, biomasses, natural gas, efficiency and managing, energy trading and supply, etc.
Further, it will follow with a brief analysis of the catalogue of legal procedures framework to obtain the permission rights and develop a project in energy infrastructure production. The all will be present as much as possible in a simple manner to explain the “philosophy” to which them based, for helping in the overcoming the complexity and the identifying the right approach needed to address it by interested developers.
In this regard, “a file rouge” will bring an analysis of the different incentives and benefit traditionally brought and the new opportunities offered by the liberalization and the regional integration of the market. A fluid situation, which is making more and more possible the complete projects and the open new procedure and follows with the planning on the developments of new large-scale and sustainable projects.
Developing Climate Resilient Flood and Flash Flood Management Practices to Protect Vulnerable Communities of Georgia - The Role of Risk Modelling in the Development of Flood Insurance Model in Georgia
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

1. Montenegro is currently a net energy importer, but seeks to export energy in the nearer future. An example
is the planned €100 million transmission line Lastva-Pljevlja between Montenegro and Italy, which will be con-
structed by Italian Transmission Company Terna and was approved funding from the European Bank for Re-
construction and Development of €65 million in April 2013. The transmission line aims to connect several
hydropower plants and a wind farm in Montenegro to the Italian grid (SECN, 2013). With technical assistance
from UNDP-GEF’s Promoting Renewable Energy Sources project, the Government of Montenegro developed
the Energy Law and other related bylaws regulating rights and obligations of entitled renewable energy pro-
ducers, including the introduction of power purchase obligations valid for 12 years, in combination with feed-
in tariffs:

2. Despite the introduction of feed-in tariffs, the share of installed renewable energy capacity in the total installed
electricity capacity is stagnant at around 1 percent. However, the country was ranked in 44th
spot in the World
Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index, which represents a rise of six places over the previous year. Its rankings in
the sub-indicators, Dealing with Construction Permits (106) and Registration of Property (98) have increased sig-
nificantly by 68 and 16 places respectively (IFC & World Bank, 2014).
In line with EU Directive 2009/28/EC, Montenegro committed itself to a national binding target of 33 percent
share of renewable energy sources in gross final energy consumption by 2020 (EC, 2012). In accordance with the
Energy Law, an‘Energy Development Strategy by 2025’has been developed.There is also a final draft green paper
for the‘Energy Development Strategy by 2030’. The latter specifies electricity generation targets from renewable
sources by 2030, e.g. 436.3 GW-h/year for electricity production from wind power plants, and 52 GW-h/year from
solar power plants (Ministry of Economy, 2012).The Energy Law is the energy sector’s general policy paper.Together
with the Law on Concession, the Law on Energy Efficiency, and regulations such as the Decree on theTariff System
for Determining the Incentive Prices for Electricity produced from Renewable Sources, and the Rulebook on Criteria
for Issuance of Energy Licence, this is the foundation for Montenegro’s renewable energy legislation. In addition
to the feed-in tariffs for eligible renewable energy producers, there are other incentives for project developers in-
vesting in renewable energy in Montenegro. The feed-in tariff is adjusted annually for inflation and also applies
(with certain conditions) to reconstructed plants. Corporate profit tax rate is low at 9 percent. Foreign investors
enjoy tax exemption with certain conditions (MIPA, 2013). Renewable energy power plants with an installed ca-
pacity up to 30 kW have the right to electricity exchange within the system, while plants above that limit are
granted non-discriminatory access to the power grid (Energy Law, Articles 90 & 101). Energy generation is subject
to licencing by the Energy Regulatory Agency. A concession for the usage and construction of energy-related
structures used to generate, transmit or distribute electricity is also required (Law on Concessions, Article 6 (8)).
The UNDP-GEF project, Promotion of Renewable Energy Sources, supported the Government in developing the
renewable energy legislation and improving the tender process. Since 2008, 13 concessions with a total installed
capacity of 97 MW for small hydropower plants and two wind power concessions with a total installed capacity
of 96 MW were granted to investors (Vener, 2013). As a result of this project, in 2013 the Ministry of Economy an-
nounced tender calls for seven small hydropower concessions in Montenegro (Ministry of Economy, 2013).1
