STEam And Management Under Pressure (STEAM-UP)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

The industrial sector could reduce its energy use by at least 13%. 75% of the potential savings can be found in steam and electric motor systems. Actions to tap the full potential in steam systems have been taken in the past but without success since findings from energy audits were not, or partly, implemented. The following barriers have been identified:- There is no business case for steam savin ...

Enabling knowledge for disaster risk reduction in integration to climate change adaptation (KNOW-4-DRR)

Start date: Jun 3, 2013, End date: Jun 2, 2015,

“Mobilizing knowledge” suggests that there is need to dynamize the context in which knowledge about risks is developed, shared, and maintained. It conveys the implicit assumption that knowledge is perhaps currently fragmented and stuck in different compartments and bodies, be they institutions, agencies, universities, research centres, communities, individuals.While with this proposal we fully agr ...
