Expected Impact. The types of expected impacts created by MVPs in this vertical relate to: • Viability and traffic with more intelligent data collection • Open, transparent and privacy-aware data mining techniques at the service of more than one efficient and resilient transport system • Tackling pollution to xxxxxx models that reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote green energy powered mobility • Marginal utility gains through decentralization in logistic for supply chain management. This also includes the impact of logistics transport and the need for new models, especially in urban areas, where deliveries cause a tremendous impact in the day-to-day routines. Since the end of WWII, social services have been organized by endorsing the factory model resulting in a commodified model of citizenship. In order to innovate from the 20th century design mindset in this sphere, the public services sector in Europe needs to promote alternatives to the models advocated by extreme privatization of public services, facilities and utilities and a pervasive approach to citizens control. These models are threatening European technological and digital sovereignty. With very few exceptions, also public authorities suffer from a sovereignty deficit when it comes to technology, algorithms and data management as they rely mainly on proprietary solutions. This can put in danger the transparency of the public administration and create conflicts of interest, thus eroding European democratic values and cultural diversity. As a result, challenges in the public services sector vary from the inherent complexity to execute procurement, to concretely and sustainably upscale innovative services, or still to create algorithms that are reusable in different circumstances and adaptable to different needs in different cities. All these, and related challenges are currently an obstacle for promoting decentralization and governance dynamics where citizens self-manage themselves. In addition, the challenges of common usage of data between different sectors and silos prevent offering good data-based digital services. Proposals should include the design of solutions that make life easier for citizens while civil servants should be seen as early adopters in order to streamline bureaucratic and procurement processes while increasing transparency. Value should be ingrained in adaptable technologies, accounting for self-sovereignty, interoperability and modularity for services such as taxation, education, publ...
Expected Impact. Increasing the efficiency and savings opportunities of the consumers acquiring energy from traditional sources while accounting for social and environmental costs. • Fostering a more cooperative, sustainable and resilient decentralized model for natural resources management, based on consumers’ co-investment into collectively owned micro-grids, and business models rewarding not only traditional actors but also prosumers. The previous verticals related to challenges that impact individuals in a human-centric way. From health to the economy, from mobility to energy and public services, all the challenges reviewed above are specific to various aspects of decentralized technological, algorithmic and data governance on citizens and consumers lives. However, they are not exhaustive as there are further societal challenges that need to be addressed while it is not possible to analyze them one by one in this document. The main challenge in this case is to provide support to best Internet innovators in order to include within LEDGER's SRI Work Programme human centric solutions to address as many societal problems as possible. Thus, this vertical will offer a space for internet innovators who will be able to submit proposals in areas not included in the five vertical clusters described above. Accordingly, the focus will be on teams proposing innovative ICT concepts, products and services applying new sets of rules, values and models which ultimately create new markets or disrupt existing markets with two objectives: support prototyping, validation and demonstration in real world conditions; and help for wider deployment or market uptake. The overarching goal is to build new Internet applications / services, business models and innovation processes strengthening the position of European ICT industry by tackling ethical, legal and privacy issues, as well as to the concepts of autonomy, data sovereignty and ownership, values and regulations. Proposals should submit unique solutions in areas and for topics residing outside the scope of the previous five verticals while endorsing the general ethos of the LEDGER project as described in the first section of this document. Proposals are also encouraged to endorse a cross-cutting approach within LEDGER verticals framework. Multi-disciplinary approaches are encouraged when relevant. Beyond research, activities should be focused on validation and testing of market traction with minimum viable products and services, of new econ...
Expected Impact. The impact of the communication activities will be measured through indicators, and the website will be continuously evaluated by the number of visitors throughout the months. It will be important to keep a routine of supplying monthly the website with new information. Also, all communication activities in social networks intends to have links to the news in the website, keeping the flow of visitors.
Expected Impact. The elders become more social improving thus their overall wellbeing. Improve the efficiency and continuity of integrated care provision to the elder.
Expected Impact. The educator meets or exceeds anticipated student learning gains on multiple measures of student learning, growth and achievement. The evaluator shall use professional judgment to determine whether the educator is having expected impact on student learning, based on student learning gains on common assessment, and, where available, statewide student growth measures. The evaluator’s professional judgment may include, but is not limited to, consideration of the educator’s student population and specific learning context. Anticipated student learning gains must be consistent across the district for common assessments and agreed upon by the educator and evaluator for other assessments. The Department shall establish anticipated student learning gains for statewide student growth measures in guidance.
Expected Impact. Raise awareness of the project’s participants and their involvement in the project Raise awareness of the project in its priority target groups, Raise awareness of the project’s results and its impact on the state of the art in PhV Gain target groups’ active support and involvement,
Expected Impact. Provide a better understanding of the role of small and family farms and small food businesses in meeting the sustainable FNS challenge (across its various dimensions) encompassing the implications on small and medium size businesses along the supply chain and within the context of demographic developments • Help better tailoring international cooperation and agricultural research for development to the agro-food sector • Contribute to policy making for the identification of new development models for the agro- food sector.
Expected Impact. The national statistical institutes are the main source of data about households, allowing thereby to draw an accurate picture of the population's living conditions. The knowledge of actual facts as well as of the perceptions and experiences made by the households will contribute to the analysis, the design and the evaluation of: policies, especially in the social sphere and in the area of administrative reform. Furthermore, the publication of the results is expected to start a process of reflection and dialogue on key issues related to poverty, governance and democracy. ANNEX II - BUDGET BREAKDOWN
