In 2024 EU-OSHA ran the fourth European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER 2024) with the aim of providing nationally comparable information on how workplaces across Europe manage health and safety. Substantial analyses of the results of the three previous waves of ESENER, carried out in 2009, 2014 and 2019, have provided a valuable insight into how occupational safety and health (OSH) is managed in practice across Europe; what the main drivers and barriers are; how stress, violence and harassment are managed; the use of digital technologies and its impact on the health and safety of employees ; and how employees are involved. ESENER 2024 has maintained the methodological changes implemented back in 2014 and the questionnaires since then are largely the same too, which enables trend analyses. In each of the three previous waves of ESENER, EU-OSHA published an Overview report of the findings , showing the main results by country, activity sector and size class for the four sections of the survey: OSH management, Psychosocial risk management, Drivers and barriers to OSH, and Worker participation. This call for tender invites bids for the development of an in-depth analysis of the ESENER 2024 findings, including a comparison with those of ESENER 2014 and 2019, that will lead to an Overview Report.

Nanoporous membranes, i.e. typically polymer films with pores with a diameter of 10nm to 80nm, play a central role in many technological applications such as battery and fuel cell membranes, water filtration and biomedicine. The large-scale technical one Production is currently chemically and process-technically complex and often involves environmentally harmful steps (e.g. evaporation of organic solvents). The process by Prof. Kurt Kremer, which has been patented by the Max Planck Society (WO2024208713A1) circumvents all of these complications and is based exclusively on the mechanical deformation of long-chain polymers and their subsequent cooling. No other components or additives are used, the process is simple and should be universally applicable. While the first laboratory experiments at the MPI for Polymer Research have proven the basic feasibility and basic material properties, the next step is to validate the process Industrial-like production conditions are required at a service provider with available and inexpensive technical polymers. The aim is to investigate the reproducibility and scalability of the technology in order to transfer it to industrial applications Prepare applications. The Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research is looking for a service provider to carry out the validation project.

The purpose of the contract is to support the transfer of research results from six GAIIA-funded projects into sustainable innovations for use in society and the economy on the African continent. Innovation and Barriers to application should be overcome a) through individual needs-oriented transfer qualification of the African award winners and b) through local/regional industry-specific networking. This means the results obtained be made accessible or utilized to the desired target groups on the African continent. a) Support from an innovation manager: The aim is to individually qualify the award winners with regard to the transfer of research results into economic, technological or social application. This competence development/expansion is intended to avoid a “valley of death” after the end of the project and to ensure a successful transfer of the The research results obtained can be used sustainably. b) Commissioning and monitoring of services in the African target countries: The aim is to establish local or regional networking between the award winners and the award winners respective economic and exploitation partners, e.g. B. industrial networks, associations, political institutions, joint ventures, producers or non-governmental organizations to realize the transfer of results and exploitation. This should go through Identification and subcontracting of local service providers can be realized, e.g. B. Foreign Chambers of Commerce.

Meath Partnership, on behalf of the Meath Local Action Group, is inviting tenders for the provision of external expertise to research, draft and produce a Community Greenspaces Development Guide for Co. Meath. Community greenspaces, including community gardens, pocket parks, educational plots, biodiversity corners and shared outdoor learning areas, have emerged as important spaces for social interaction, environmental stewardship and local food production. They bring people together across age groups, cultures and backgrounds, while also strengthening resilience in our communities. The creation of a clear, practical and accessible guide, designed specifically for the context of Co. Meath, will support local communities to plan, establish and manage greenspaces that deliver long term benefits for both people and the local environment. The purpose of this guide is to empower local groups to establish and sustain community greenspaces of all scales. It will provide step by step guidance, case studies and practical tools to enable groups to overcome barriers such as limited space, access to resources and ongoing maintenance. The guide will contribute to wider objectives of promoting environmental sustainability, strengthening social inclusion, encouraging healthy living and enhancing overall community wellbeing across Co. Meath.

This opportunity is an Open Procedure advertised by Defra group Commercial on behalf of Defra. The Wye catchment covers two nations, and five counties, and contains a complex mix of land use, including agriculture, urban areas, and a wealth of protected sites. With this varied geography comes a complex stakeholder landscape, combining a range of values and interests. This also brings a range of pressures on the water environment of the catchment. Defra and the Welsh Government are seeking to deliver a research project to investigate sources of pollution and pressures affecting the Wye and develop and test ways to improve land management for water quality using a 'living-labs' approach to test solutions with local stakeholders. Additionally, the project will identify best practice approaches to undertaking research involving complex stakeholder groups. The aims of the research programme are to build on existing evidence and work alongside stakeholders to: • Investigate the sources of the pollution and pressures affecting the river, in particular focussing on agricultural pollution • Study the impacts of changing farming practices and land management in the catchment • Develop and test new ways to improve land management to improve water quality, which are suitable for the Wye catchment and will also be transferable to other catchments, using a 'living-labs' approach to test solutions • Examine what's driving wildlife decline and water flow - the movement and quantity of water ...
