Mr Andrii Frolov (State Agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine): Green bonds for financing energy efficiency and renewable energy in Ukraine
Information and program of the Green Design Biënnale that will take place from 2 - 5 October 2019 in Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina).
Our ex-boardmember Elma Durmisevic started it in 2009, so it's celebrating the 10th version with the opening of the first fase Green Design Centre Southeast Europe.
For new buildings, the recast fixes 2020 as the deadline for all new buildings to be
“nearly zero energy” (and even sooner for public buildings – by the end of 2018). For
existing buildings, Member States are required to draw up national plans to increase the
number of nearly zero energy buildings, though no specific targets have been set.
However, the Directive does not clearly define what a “nearly zero energy building” is,
either for new build or refurbishment of existing buildings. Article 2(1a) gives a purely
qualitative definition:
A “nearly zero energy building” is a building that has a very high energy
performance. The nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be
covered to a very significant extent by energy from renewable sources, including
energy from renewable sources produced on-site or nearby.
Being innovative is about interconnecting suppliers, customers, financial institutions, and having good public image through care for environment and social responsibility.
Ministry of Economics of Latvia, as EU SBSR Policy Area ‘Energy’ coordinator, is organizing a series of online discussions on the topic "Financing renovation project: mapping roles and responsibilities".
On November 19th, 2020 from 11 am to 13.30 pm Riga time (GMT+2) we are holding the first discussion round - Financing renovation project: stakeholders, decision-making process, project management, and documentation.
In cooperation with the Swedish Institute, we have already established a strong network of experts in the field of energy efficiency by successfully establishing a Baltic Leadership Programme on Energy Efficiency.
With the new series of discussions, we aim to discuss associated funding structures, project implementation, execution, main obstacles, and how to overcome them. The ultimate aim is to continue building a macroregional flagship process on exchanging experiences and sharing competencies on Energy Efficiency.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
