Targeting PAthogen’s NIChe: a new approach for infectious diseases control in low-income countries
During the last century, WHO have led public health interventions that resulted in spectacular achievements such as the worldwide eradication of smallpox and the elimination of malaria from the Wester
Innovative Secure Sensor Networks and Model-based Assessment Tools for Increased Resilience of Water Infrastructures
The project ResiWater aims to better prepare water utilities to crisis management by restoring their system back to normal situation as fast as possible. The network resilience is enhanced by developing a new secure sensor network and model-based assessments for mitigating water distribution system failures.<br />Keywords:<br />Critical Infrastructure; Disaster; Cyber and terrorist attack; Security; Resilience; Sensors and sensor network; Simulation and resilience training; Key performance indicator.
Resilience of the Franco-German High Speed Rail Network
In the last decades terrorist attacks on public rail transport systems such as underground systems, suburban traffic and express trains including their infrastructure have significantly increased. Bec
Blueprint for Pan-European Resilient Critical Infrastructures based on LTE communications
The BERCOM proposal addresses the pressing issue for any critical infrastructure, which is resilient energy supply and communication capabilities, even under special circumstances. The proposal ther
Optimising care delivery models to support ageing-in-place towards autonomy affordability and financial sustainability
ODESSA is a collaborative venture between three countries: United Kingdom, France, and China. The three-year venture will work with people who are over the traditional retirement age of 60, with a particular focus on the over 80s. The aim is to find new and innovative ways of adapting a person’s home so that they can live independently for longer and avoid going into residential care, as well as making it easier for them to access public services such as health and social services.<br /><br />
Dynamics of Green Growth in European and Chinese Cities (DRAGON)
Cities are carbon hotspots. Globally, 3.6 billion people live in cities that are estimated to produce up to 70% of global GDP to consume up to 70% of all energy and to be responsible for up to 70% of all carbon emissions. Cities are also development hotspots. 90% of urban growth is taking place in the developing world, where the urban population is expanding by 1.2 million people per week. What happens in cities will be of global significance.
Smart eco-cities for a green economy a comparative study of Europe and China
A number of metropolis are involved in Smart cities initiaves in order to develop new use of advanced technologies and explore path of renewal for cities modes of gouvernance. <br /><br />SMARTECO proposes to draw a first systematic comparative analysis of these intiatives in Europe and China in order to inform public and private actors involved.
Migration and the Reshaping of Consumption Patterns
Fuelled by the reforms initiated at the end of the 1970s in China, the largest move of labour force in history started taking place, with an enormous amount of individuals temporarily leaving rural areas to work in urban areas attracted by better economic conditions. On parallel, international migration to Europe has been growing in the past twenty years, also triggered by increasing economic integration with developing countries.
