Common use of Expected Impact Clause in Contracts

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, public funding distribution and the management of the public administration. This holds especially for small municipalities and for the civil servants working in public offices, which usually cannot count on many resources to serve the citizenry, e.g. for more agile certification processing and the management of public utilities. Proposals should aim at the creation of interoperable public services that put citizens back in control of their data. Moreover, citizens should be able to verify the integrity of the algorithms they use and co-create new requirements. Examples vary from - but are not limited to: - simulation environments such as virtual-twin cities - remote participation to public deliberations - new models for public private partnerships in which solutions are implemented in open and cooperative structures - the promotion of self-sufficiency in food provision - low carbon footprint in public transportation - decentralized, transparent accountability and auditing - decentralized and e-participatory budgeting in the public domain.

Expected Impact. The types of expected impacts created by MVPs in Impact for this vertical relate towill 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: • Viability 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 traffic 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. In the next few years, the energy market is expected to experience deep changes caused by planned policy reforms in the European Union with more intelligent 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 collection • Open, transparent and privacyvalue from consumers on the main AC-aware data mining techniques at the service of more than one efficient and resilient transport system • Tackling pollution to xxxxxx models that reduce reliance Grid still relying on fossil fuels and promote green an obsolete proprietary distribution system. More recently, Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) have been offering clean energy powered mobility • Marginal utility gains through decentralization in logistic for supply chain managementsources to their customers on centralized platforms. This also includes demands the impact offer of logistics transport more opportunities to satisfy their energy requirements from more environmental friendly energy sources. The producers and consumers of renewable energy (the need for new models, especially prosumers) are the same passive actors that produce energy and simply give it back to the main grid which in urban areas, where deliveries cause a tremendous impact in the day-to-day routines.

In order to innovate from the 20th century design mindset in this sphereevolving context, the public services sector in Europe needs to promote alternatives to decentralized production and exchange of clean energy for the models advocated by extreme privatization of public services, facilities prosumer economy is still at its xxxx and utilities and a pervasive approach to citizens controlvery dependent on government subsidies. 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 resultMoreover, challenges in this vertical regard also the public services sector vary from the inherent complexity need to execute procurement, to concretely and sustainably upscale innovative services, or still to create algorithms build solutions that are reusable sustainable 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 servicesthemselves such as environmental friendly such as carbon negative distributed ledger technologies. Proposals should include promote sustainable decentralized data and business modelling for digital sovereignty in this vertical. The goal is to enable the design process of solutions that make life easier collecting and distributing energy and related data as a common accessible for citizens while civil servants should be seen as early adopters in order everyone to streamline bureaucratic meet basic needs 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, public funding distribution and the management of the public administration. This holds especially for small municipalities and for the civil servants working in public offices, which usually cannot count on many resources to serve the citizenry, e.g. for more agile certification processing and the management of public utilitiesreduce dependency from dominant industry actors. Proposals should aim at also tackle issues such as carbon footprint reduction and ocean pollution, alternative food production, tagging and food chain management systems, the creation and distribution of interoperable public services that put citizens back in control of their data. Moreover, citizens should be able to verify new and less-pollutant materials or the integrity of the algorithms they re-use and co-create new requirementsrecycling of existing materials. Examples Proposals should encourage consumer CleanTech solutions that reward virtuous behavior possible through decentralized and open energy consumption data management.
