I4MS 2015: Enhancing digital transformation in manufacturing SMEs
I4MS 2015 will explore the progress achieved by the I4MS initiative and the impact participation has had on SMEs.
To date I4MS has achieved over 80% industrial participation. An initial participation of 80 SMEs has now grown to 150 as momentum continues to build. Success is also evident with SME participation in projects leading to the adaption of new technologies and approaches. I4MS phase two will take this success further through additional projects supported by a budget of approximately EUR 35 Mn.
At I4MS 2015 participating SMEs will present their experiences, results achieved and impact made. They will explain how they have benefited and what the adaption of innovative ICT has meant for their business. European support does not just exist at EU level.
Action at regional level supported through programmes such as Smart Specialisation present the good opportunity to reach out to and involve the diverse landscape of European SMEs. At I4MS 2015 participants will be introduced to a new activity designed for such outreach – digital innovation competence centres – and an outlook towards the next stage of I4MS.
I4MS is a EUR 77 Mn initiative of the 'Factories of the Future' partnership designed to support the adaption of innovative ICT by SMEs. Through seven integrated projects in four key areas, I4MS brings manufacturing SMEs directly into research and innovation projects, introducing them to innovative technologies and supporting the adoption of such technologies.

Life Cycle Thinking - Measuring and Managing Adrian Segens
Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) is about going beyond the traditional focus on production site and manufacturing processes to include environmental, social and economic impacts of a product over its entire life cycle.
To enable the circular economy, all manufacturers must be able to measure and manage the impacts of their products throughout their life cycle and develop strategies that will deliver a sustainable and profitable future.
This presentation explores both life cycle thinking and natural capital as two concepts that will play a vital role in that transition. It also includes a case study on how Philips are applying these ideas

GreenBiz 17 Workshop Slides: "Applying Lifecycle Thinking to Zero Waste Goals"GreenBiz Group
For the past twenty-five years, Americans have embraced recycling as an important measurement of environmental performance. The idea that more recycling must be better has spurred the widespread adoption of zero waste goals, developed with the best intentions. However, a focus on recycling as many tons as possible does not always take into account the whole picture of the environmental impact of waste. Join this session to understand how a lifecycle thinking approach can help you develop waste goals and programs for your company that will achieve the greatest environmental benefits and business results.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
