Social Impact. The Social Impact Pool invests in organizations that are treating employees and customers fairly and are creating opportunities for the least advantaged. Additionally, the Pool focuses on investment managers from groups that have been traditionally excluded from the asset management industry.
Social Impact. 4.1 In conducting the Project Activities the MEP Participants shall use Best Endeavours to minimise potential disturbances to surrounding communities and the property of the inhabitants thereof.
4.2 If any regional or intergovernmental authority having jurisdiction enacts or promulgates social regulations or guidelines applicable to areas where Project Activities occur, the MEP Participants and the Government will confer respecting the possible impact thereof on the Project, but in no event shall the Project be subject to any such standards to the extent they are different from or more stringent than the standards and practices generally prevailing in the international Petroleum pipeline industry for comparable projects.
4.3 Prior to the selection of the general location of the Facilities, a general review of social conditions in the applicable areas shall be completed, consisting of a scoping study and a risk assessment. These will together form the basis of the content and structure for a social impact assessment of Project Activities and associated operations (“SIA”) to be conducted by the MEP Participants with respect to social impacts to the Territory (whether from Project Activities within or without the Territory).
4.4 During the course of Project Activities, the MEP Participants shall, pursuant to Article 2 hereof, from time to time confer with the State Authorities as to the impact of ongoing Project Activities in light of the SIA.
Social Impact. This pool seeks long-term growth through a diversified portfolio of global stocks and bonds from companies with strong financial and social records. Investment managers may consider positive and negative social factors when evaluating companies, ranging from environmental sustainability to involvement with the manufacture of weapons, tobacco and alcohol. This pool is appropriate for assets that will remain invested for at least seven years. Assets are exposed to market risks and may experience significant volatility and principal loss from year to year. The projected near worst- case return per annum over three years is approximately -13%.
Social Impact. Unless there are complexities supported by the Requesting Officer and with the prior authorization if the Follow Up Unit of the DEA Execution, there cannot be more than one Manager per Contract or Agreement.

Social Impact. The published document “PRACE – The Scientific Case for HPC in Europe2012-2020 from petascale to exascale” indicates that the competitiveness of European science and industry (as mentioned in the previous section) will be jeopardized if sufficiently capable computers are not made available, together with the associated tools and skilled people necessary to maximize their exploitation. The set of data managing and visualization tools obtained from VELaSSCo output undoubtedly helps towards the maximization of the exploitation potential of the simulations. From the social point of view, advances in the field of High-Performance Computing (HPC) will lead us to Enhanced design and manufacturing of economic, safer and environmental friendly industrial products and structures in many engineering sectors: Aero-Space Engineering, Civil Engineering, Naval and Marine Engineering and Surface Transport Vehicles. Of particular social impact, just to point put a concrete area of engineering that can benefit from the outputs of the project, is the development of new simulation methods able to solve problems of interest for predictive safety of civil constructions to natural hazards. These constructions include: buildings, bridges, harbours, dams, xxxxx, breakwaters, and similar infrastructure under extraordinary forces due to water hazards such as floods, sea waves and tsunamis, water spills due to the collapse of dams, xxxxx and reservoirs induced by landslides and earthquakes, among others. The output of this research is essential for enhanced analysis, risk assessment, save-guarding values and performance-based design of constructions, to protect population and infrastructure against natural hazards. Furthermore, access by researchers, administration and industries to this type on services, and its full exploitation with customized tools such as the ones derived from the results obtained in this VELaSSCo project, can be the difference between life and death; between new jobs and profits or bankruptcy. HPC modelling and its posterior analysis requires significant expertise to make an efficient utilization of the available resources. VELaSSCo provides room for highly-skilled scientists to develop their work at the highest level of international research in European institutions, while at the same time producing tools to be used by other researchers both in academic research institution and industries. Indeed, the high mobility of researchers suffered in the project, with...
Social Impact. Assessment Methods for research and funding instruments through the study of Productive Interactions (SIAMPI): as the name indicates, a key to this initiative is the concept of “productive interactions” (see below). SIAMPI distinguishes three types of “productive interactions”. These may be direct – including, say, face-to-face encounters, through phone, email or videoconferencing. They can also be indirect – i.e. contacts that are established through some kind of material carrier, for example texts, exhibitions, models, or films. “Productive interactions” may also take a financial form – e.g. a research contract, a financial contribution, or a contribution in kind, etc. (Xxxxxxx et al 2011)
Social Impact. There will be hundreds of visitors at the Doors Open Days and attendees at the Information Days and Stakeholders meetings. There will be dozens of media reactions to the AComIn dissemination efforts. SWOT analysis (Pages 45-48 of DoW) We acknowledge the first International Evaluation of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences which was a self-initiated and pioneering initiative, performed by the European Science Foundation/ALLEA (no Bulgarian university organised such an extensive procedure yet). It displayed BAS strengths and a number of weaknesses: fragmentation of research activities, brain drain, ageing and others. The
