Changing Housing Systems and the Risks for Social ExclusionFEANTSA
This document summarizes a presentation given at the 9th European Research Conference on Homelessness in Times of Crisis in Warsaw, Poland on September 19th, 2014. The presentation, given by Marja Elsinga from Delft University of Technology, examined changing housing systems in Europe, including differences in home ownership rates between countries and the effects of the housing crisis. Some key lessons discussed were that promoting universal home ownership is unrealistic, countries with strong mortgage market regulation fared better in the crisis, and governments should facilitate more stable housing systems through policies supporting both ownership and rental options.

The document summarizes a Housing First Guide for Europe produced by FEANTSA, the European Federation of National Organisations working with the Homeless. It was a 2-year project funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. The Guide was created with an advisory board of European housing experts and is aimed at service providers and policymakers. It consists of 6 online units covering the principles and practice of Housing First in Europe. FEANTSA hopes the Guide will help spread knowledge of Housing First and support its implementation across the continent.
The Potential of Housing First in the Rural EnvironmentFEANTSA
Ruth Owen presented at the European Research Conference on implementing Housing First approaches in rural environments. Some key challenges to addressing homelessness in rural areas include limited homeless services due to low demand, scarce affordable housing supply, and inadequate transportation infrastructure. However, floating support services show promise in compensating for lack of residential services. With adaptations like increased use of telehealth, Housing First models have been successfully implemented in rural US communities and demonstrate cost savings over traditional approaches. Mobilizing vacant or agricultural property and engaging mainstream services are important strategies to overcoming rural homelessness.

The document summarizes a presentation given at a European research conference on homelessness. It discusses the numbers of homeless people in the Czech Republic, findings from a survey on commercial hostels in Ostrava, and research on coping tactics for families facing poverty. Over 11,000 people were found to be homeless in the Czech Republic in 2011. A survey of commercial hostels in Ostrava found they were unsuitable for long-term housing. Research identified common coping tactics among poor families, such as passive adaptation and using situations to their advantage. Overall, the presentation examined homelessness in the Czech Republic and discussed efforts to address it.
From Crisis Accommodation to Permanent Housing?FEANTSA
This document summarizes a presentation given at a European research conference on housing first policies. It provides background on homelessness in Helsinki, Finland, including statistics on the number of homeless individuals and families. It then describes the services provided at Hietaniemenkatu, a service center in Helsinki that implements a housing first approach. This includes temporary housing, health services, and assistance obtaining permanent housing. Preliminary results of a case study on 109 individuals who stayed at the center found that while many obtained housing solutions initially, some later experienced increased support needs or a return to homelessness. The center plays an important role in connecting homeless individuals to appropriate housing and support services.

The document summarizes the context for housing first programs in Poland. It notes that the scale of homelessness is not fully understood due to incomplete data. Services for the homeless primarily provide temporary shelter rather than permanent housing. Social work focuses more on rules and contracts than psychological support. The effectiveness of current services and their cost-effectiveness is unknown. While housing first is discussed, there have only been a few small pilot programs involving around 20 people total. The organization presenting aims to work with the city of Warsaw on a larger housing first program and continue advocating for a housing first approach in Poland through research, networking and transparency.

The document discusses the role of the cerebellum in motor coordination. It explains that the cerebellum receives input from motor areas of the cortex and provides output to these areas via the thalamus to coordinate movement. It is involved in planning, timing, and sequencing movements. When there is damage to the cerebellum, motor coordination is affected, leading to movement disorders. The cerebellum helps correct errors in movement and prevent overshooting by preplanning ballistic movements based on feedback from prior movements.

Pia Kjellbom presented at the European Research Conference on Housing First. What's Second? in Berlin on September 20, 2013. The presentation discussed forced move-outs from housing and the social service's legal roles in Sweden. It identified three roles for social services - the assurer, observer, and ignorant - and how they differ in the housing rights they protect. Data from Stockholm County showed that 5% of applications to enforcement authorities in 2009 were for evictions. The presentation concluded that social services have lacked knowledge of their assurer role and have interpreted assistance provisions in ways that go beyond the intended normbelt of the law.
The document summarizes a Housing First Guide for Europe produced by FEANTSA, the European Federation of National Organisations working with the Homeless. It was a 2-year project funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. The Guide was created with an advisory board of European housing experts and is aimed at service providers and policymakers. It includes 6 units that can be accessed through an online, multilingual website and was launched at an event on June 9, 2016 in Brussels.

Challenges in Implementing Housing First in Ireland – Dr Eoin O'Sullivan
Presentation delivered at the Housing First conference organised by Athlone Institute of Technology and Midlands Simon on 30 September 2013
FEANTSA is the European NGO focused exclusively on homelessness. It has members in national and regional networks of services for the homeless across all EU member states except Cyprus. FEANTSA engages in lobbying, research, conferences, and communications to address homelessness. It is funded by the EU and its members.
In recent years, the EU policy context has become more favorable to addressing homelessness. The Council of Ministers, European Parliament, Committee of the Regions, and Economic and Social Committee have all called for an EU homeless strategy. The European Commission also recognizes homelessness as a priority that requires an EU framework.

HOPE in a nutshell @IALHI International Conference 2012Marco Rendina
The HOPE project aims to aggregate online social and labor history collections from across Europe. It involves partnerships between 10 institutions in 8 countries. The objectives are to develop best practices for digitization, build a social history metadata aggregator and content repository, and create an upgraded labor history portal. HOPE will provide over 880,000 digitized objects like photographs, publications, and recordings to Europeana and other online access points. This will benefit both content providers through international cooperation and users by making collections more accessible.
The document discusses accessibility and open data. It notes that approximately 10% of populations have impairments and accessibility is recognized through directives and principles like the UN Convention on Disabilities. The document outlines three approaches to accessibility - as a requisite, result, or within the system. It identifies open data domains like mobility, education, and political participation that impact accessibility. Upcoming challenges discussed include expanding cross-border solutions, integrating AI while respecting privacy, and keeping accessibility data current.
Open Dialogue: Towards Organizing Study Abroad Europe-WideCIEE
Many European countries are creating study abroad associations that represent and support their members, serve as a platform for shared information and staff training, and support those who impact the study abroad experience. Today, several of these country-specific organizations are working together to organize study abroad across the region. During this session, we’ll explore the benefits of a comprehensive organization of national associations, including how it can assist with promoting, facilitating, and reinventing study abroad in Europe.

The program takes a flexible, person-centered approach to support, allowing clients to maintain their housing even if continuing substance use, and focusing on harm reduction through peer support workers with lived experience.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
