A most wonderful characteristic of the Bible is its perfect consistency. That is, the entire Bible is perfectly true and trustworthy. Therefore, when any truth has been correctly learned from the Bible, that truth will never be negated or compromised by other Bible citations. This perfect consistency of the Bible is to be expected because the Bible is God’s Word.

The SME Innovation Instrument, Horizon2020 and Talent Europe. A discussion by...Alberto Minin
I provide a quick introduction to the Meridian Fellowship on Social Innovation and to my project, Talent Europe,
I will then present some of the latest numbers regarding the implementation of the SME Innovation instrument, one of the most innovative parts of the 8th presentation Framework program called Horizon 2020
I will briefly share with you three concepts that I think might be interesting to explore as a basis of a useful comparison between Europe and US science and technology Policy.
What I am seeking to do as a Meridian Fellow is to expand my expertise on science and technology policy and to contribute to the debate around this topic that is developing in Europe. I think that there are better ways to engage and to empower EU talent, and to make it become key player of EU Economic Recovery and competitiveness
The US had been a continuous source of inspiration for the EU debate on science and technology, and more in general on innovation policy.
Later on I will discuss about the SME innovation instrument that had been inspired in part by the SBIR program here in the US.
Not only policy makers and scholars have been guiding this exchange of ideas and experiences, but also US Embassies in Europe have been very important in sharing with Europe some news. I am very familiar with the case of the US Embassies in Italy. The past three Ambassadors have been evangelists of messages and priorities. Ronald Spogli emphasized the role of high tech entrepreneurs in society, David Thorne has focused on the role the digital economy can have a driver of growth, more recently the sitting ambassador, John Phillips is very vocal about the benefits that Italy could derive by a more efficient judiciary system
My experience as scholar, and teacher is telling me that the debate on innovation in Europe is desperately in need of some fresh air and new ideas.
I believe that there are four areas where we can look.
The first one has to do with new original ways to communicate the relevance of sicence and technology for society.
The second has to do with the way we mentor and assist scientists and engineers that seek to become entrepreneurs. What is the role of universities, government and private sector to achieve this task.
Third area is corporate entrepreneurship, industrial venturing and the attitude EU large corporations have towards change.
Finally demands side innovation policy: public procurement and the setting of challenges and ambitious goals, where sometimes the role of the government should not be to provide the means to achieve these goals, but to promise to act as first buyer for the best solutions for a specific challenge.
Priorités thématiques et dimension internationale du projet H2020Pasteur_Tunis
Présentation du programme cadre H2020, par Aurélie Pancera, Expert PASRI, durant la journée de présentation du H2020, lors de la journée sur le programme H2020 organisée à l'Institut Pasteur de Tunis, le 20 septembre 2013
Jenny Deakin from the EPA Catchments Unit gave a Teagasc Signpost Seminar on April 20 2021. The seminar covered water quality, focused on the agricultural sector, and the solutions needed to improve water quality, and new tools to target the right measure in the right place. This includes upgraded Pollution Impact Potential Maps for Nitrogen and Phosphorus, together with overland flow and focused delivery points.
On 25 November 2020 the EPA published Ireland’s Environment - An Integrated Assessment 2020 which provides an assessment of the overall quality of Ireland's environment, the pressures being placed on it and the societal responses to current and emerging environmental issues.
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s rivers.
Ireland has more than 73,000 km of river channels. If placed end-to-end, they could encircle the Earth almost twice. Three-quarters of these channels are very small streams that typically flow into larger rivers.
Biological monitoring has been carried out in Irish rivers since 1971. The current national river monitoring programme covers more than 13,000 km of river channel.
The national monitoring programme is run by the EPA and focuses on the main river channels rather than the smaller streams. The programme includes more than 2,800 sites sampled for biology, with almost half of these being sampled for physical and chemical parameters.
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring phytoplankton in Ireland's marine environment.
The EPA and the Marine Institute sample phytoplankton in estuaries and coastal waters around Ireland. They carry out sampling three times during the summer and once during winter. At each location, they take water samples just below the surface and above the seabed. They use the samples to assess how much phytoplankton is in the water and what species are present.
Phytoplankton are tiny, free-floating plants found suspended in the world’s oceans. Their name comes from Greek and means ‘plant drifter’. They are carried along by ocean currents and are usually found floating near the surface of the water. Like all plants they need sunlight to grow.
The main sources of nutrients around Ireland’s coast are discharges from wastewater treatment plants and run off from agricultural land. Phytoplankton in the estuaries and coastal waters around Ireland are monitored by the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) and the Marine Institute. They monitor phytoplankton to assess the quality (status) of our marine environment. They must do this as part of the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive.
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s marine environment.
Ecologically healthy marine waters are a valuable natural resource. They support a rich and diverse range of ecosystems, habitats and species, and they are also a source of food – from wild fisheries and aquaculture. They are also important for recreational activities and tourism.
Transitional and coastal waters are assessed under the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Having coordinated frameworks for water quality for all the water bodies in Ireland, and across Europe, allows us to compare our results with other countries. It allows us to see what works to help us make sure all our water bodies achieve at least ‘good’ status, and no deterioration occurs.
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s lakes.
A total of 225 lakes are currently included as part of the national surface waters monitoring programme run by the EPA, this covers around 80% of the surface area of all lakes in Ireland.
This includes:
• all lakes greater than 50 hectares
• lakes that are used for supplying drinking water
• lakes that are of regional, local or scientific interest
This Plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring aquatic plants in Irish lakes.
Aquatic plants are good at showing if the quality of the water is good or bad and play an important role in lake ecology by providing food and a habitat for many smaller plants, animals and birds.
They also:
• provide shelter for young fish
• help to improve the clarity of the water
• help stabilise lake shore banks
• reduce the amount of sediment being suspended in the water
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitors these aquatic plants at more than 10,000 sites in over 200 lakes once every three years.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

SC5-15 a) Expert network on Critical Raw Materials [2016]
The proposed action should develop primarily an EU expert network or structure of
networks covering all CRMs and where possible, include the stakeholders covering as
much of the value chains as possible. Proposals should build on the experience such as the
ERECON a network on Rare Earth Elements, and CRM_InnoNet.
Projects should cover all the following points:
Map, comprehensively assess and quantify estimated amounts of existing primary
and secondary sources of and alternatives to the different CRMs. ;
Estimate the expected EU demand of various CRMs in the future and identify major
trends;
Provide policy and technology recommendations for actions improving the production of
the various primary and secondary CRMs and actions for their potential substitution;
Provide a plan for transparent consultation with relevant external stakeholders and
effective communication of the findings to the professional and general public across the EU;
In the case of secondary CRMs, the mapping information on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and waste batteries and other relevant end-of-life
products within the EU is crucial, as well as the need to contribute to the further
development of European standards for the treatment of WEEE in order to optimise the
recovery of CRMs.

at global level [2016]
develop a common methodology to mineral raw materials flows at global
level which could be agreed and used at international level. As a pilot case, focus
should be on critical raw materials and in particular the ones used in low-
carbon technologies. The methodology should incorporate models on demand-
supply forecast in order to allow for dynamic analysis of global materials flows.
Proposals should provide recommendations and feed into future policy
developments.
In line with the strategy for EU international cooperation in research and
innovation (COM(2012)497), international co-operation is required with the
US and Japan in the field of Materials Flow Analysis. Where appropriate,
synergies with the relevant EU Member States initiatives are to be explored
and fostered.
Proposals should build on the outcomes of the Study on Data Inventory for a

The ERA-NET should cover the whole raw materials value chain including exploration,
extraction and processing technologies and recycling, as well as substitution.
Proposals should pool the necessary financial resources from the participating national (or
regional) research programmes with a view to implementing a joint call for proposals
resulting in grants to third parties with EU co-funding in this area.
Proposers are encouraged to include other joint activities including additional joint calls
without EU co-funding.
Participation of legal entities from international partner countries and/or regions is
encouraged in the joint call as well as in other joint activities including additional joint
calls without EU co-funding. Participants from countries which are not automatically eligible
for funding may nonetheless request a Union contribution (on the basis of the ERA-NET unit
cost) for the co-ordination costs of additional activities..
