CONTRIBUTION TO POLICY DEVELOPMENT Sample Clauses

CONTRIBUTION TO POLICY DEVELOPMENT. The work contributes to the implementation of European policies on issues relating to co-ordination of research on genetic resistance to plant pathogenic viruses, and their vectors, in European crops and their influences on society. It will help to strengthen the EU commitment to support the biotechnology sector, and to improving the availability of virus/vector resistant crops, decreasing the amounts of pesticides used and increasing the quality and efficiency of crop production systems. It will also address the many ethical issues relating to the use of virus/vector resistant transgenic (GM) crops in Europe, for example, how to reconcile the conflict between the need for increased food production and for environmental conservation, and how to ensure that these crops can be grown safely, with acceptance by the consumer. The work contributes to the implementation of European policies. This project directly addresses the call, and the wider Food Quality and Safety policies of the EU. The law and ethical policies surrounding the use and release of GMOs are still evolving and at different rates in different member states. The project will complement and strictly adhere to EU policy objectives including:

CONTRIBUTION TO POLICY DEVELOPMENT. IWWA will contribute to the formation of a policy background that creates an enabling environment for ISWM. IWWA recognises that waste management policy is not isolated, but strongly linked to other sectors such as environment, energy and trade, and these links will be considered when developing of guidelines and recommendations. The involvement of local authorities and policy makers in capacity building and dissemination activities will help overcoming institutional barriers and raise awareness among higher governmental levels in the promotion of waste treatment technologies and systems. Synergies and interactions among the members of the African waste treatment Network will be strengthened through the participatory inter-institutional approach of IWWA project, as the stakeholders will be trained in alternative models of public-private-non-governmental partnerships. Finally, the international co-operation which will be accomplished through the IWWA Co- ordination Action, will allow Europe to achieve a better position to both share its expertise and to contribute to capacity building and technology transfer in Africa.

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 76 technical training events were offered in the second half of 2015. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 57 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.
