Expected Impact. Impact for this vertical will be measured firstly in terms of relevance, adaptability and sustainability of locally maintained solutions. • MVPs will enhance transparent co-creation and direct participation of citizens. • Co-creation processes should also include the role of public servants in the design of services as they are the early adopters of the solutions that they in turn deliver to citizens. • Qualitative increase in adaptive regulation for institutionalising innovative and more cost- effective ways to deliver public services. • Creation of awareness in a relevant and granular way for citizens: the latter do not have to know everything that is happening in their communities, but they should be informed about what they deem important. In this way, public administrations would enable and encourage citizens horizontal self-organization and self-sustainability. The goal is to address societal challenges from the bottom up and in a decentralized governance civic environment, whereby software serves the interests of all participants. NGI-LEDGER-05-2019 The Internet of Energy and Sustainability to Structurally Respect the Environment Specific Challenge: In the next few years, the energy market is expected to experience deep changes caused by planned policy reforms in the European Union with its 20-20-20 climate & energy package agreed in 2010: - 20% (or even 30%) reduction in CO2 emissions from 1990 levels - 20% of EU energy from renewables - 20% increase in energy efficiency The energy sector is dominated by legacy, public-private national energy distribution companies where energy infrastructures and business models are centralized. Producers drain data and value from consumers on the main AC-Grid still relying on fossil fuels and an obsolete proprietary distribution system. More recently, Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) have been offering clean energy sources to their customers on centralized platforms. This demands the offer of more opportunities to satisfy their energy requirements from more environmental friendly energy sources. The producers and consumers of renewable energy (the prosumers) are the same passive actors that produce energy and simply give it back to the main grid which in turn increases its profits by leveraging Big Data related to users. In this evolving context, the decentralized production and exchange of clean energy for the prosumer economy is still at its xxxx and very dependent on government subsidies. Moreover, challenges ...
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. NGI-LEDGER-06-2019 Open Innovative Projects for Decentralized Data Governance Specific Challenge: 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. Scope: 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 fo...
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. 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 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. NGI-LEDGER-04-2019 Technological Sovereignty to Enhance the Quality of Public Services Specific Challenge: 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. Scope: 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 technologie...
Expected Impact. All partners presented their view on the expected project impact. The presented expected impact of industrial partners is based on the preliminary estimates presented in the grant agreement and on the detailed summary presented in the Deliverable 2.6 (Checklist for success control). The general expected project benefits can be briefly summarized as follows: Improved process control will lead to optimized use of raw material and to energy savings during the process. Even small efficiency improvement about few percent can result in large absolute impact as the amounts of yearly produced products (latex dispersions, steel, silicon) are in total big. Consistent quality of products will be ensured. This will lead also to benefit for customers as they can count with narrow product properties specification. Maximized yield in shorter time. Advanced automation of production processes by new sensor technology and computer based control systems based on automatic measurements will lead to less necessity of human action during ladle temperature measurements. Thus workers will not be exposed to the hazardous environment (work with molten silicon) and the work will be safer. Academic partners are expecting new insights in engineering technologies and in product development. The direct participation of academic partners on commercialization of RECOBA outcomes is not foreseen. Minkon provided an overview about presentation of new fiber optical temperature measurement device presented at the METEC exhibition at Düsseldorf (16.-20.6.2015). The exhibition participants showed their large interest for the new measurement device. BFI as licensor of the technology would benefit from the potential Minkon’s success as well.

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. For the first year of project, the intention was to have 100 visitors by May 1st. This was not possible given the difficulties faced by the coordination and the delay to have the website on air. The following metrics was defined for month 24, April 2022. Table 1: Indicator for website flow evaluation at month 24. Indicator May 2022 (following M24) Source and methodology Number of visits on project website 600 Website count. Google analytics report on May 1st Independent on this specific indicator, the intention of the consortium is to increase with the evolution of the project all communication and dissemination activities, and the website intends to be the centre of all the information flow.
Expected Impact. The work programme identifies six major expected impacts. Section 1 has shown that we have or- ganised the project de facto along these six major dimensions. We shall here recall how in practical terms we have organised the project to generate impact and how we translate it into measurable effects. In order to avoid too much repetition, two of the impacts have been grouped together. A table at the end of the section recapitulates the impact expected and the criteria for measuring their success.
