Empowering the next generation of social enterprise scholars
Social enterprise (SE) are organizations which combine an entrepreneurial dynamic to provide services or goods with a primacy of social aims. SE naturally cross various types of borders; sectoral (public, business, cooperatives, associations), resources (drawing them from the market, public procurement, grants, and philanthropy) and activity fields (personal services, finance, recycling industry, energy and transport, food supply chains…).

This EMPOWER-SE Action aims at:
(1) contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the diversity of SE models emerging across Europe and globally; their conditions of emergence and development; and their contribution to key industries for the development of sustainable societies by overcoming existing fragmentation in the levels of knowledge from both a geographical and a disciplinary point of view;
(2) empowering the next generation of SE scholars, focusing on expanding the SE scientific community to less research-intensive countries where it is still embryonic or non-existing; and
(3) fostering evidence-based policy from local to European levels and supporting the development of SE and their eco-systems in synergy with main industry representatives and stakeholders. The Action will implement networking mechanisms (working groups, conferences, meetings, workshops for policy-makers, local stakeholder talks, short-term scientific missions, training schools, communication tools including stakeholders briefs, and web-based dissemination) to connect fragmented communities and to contribute to closing the gap between the scientific community, policy-makers and society throughout Europe and beyond.

A new understanding of trust, distrust in governance

During the last decade, EU societies experienced a decrease in trust in governance. It’s a trend that undermines democracies. The EU-funded EnTrust project intends to offer a new understanding of trust and distrust in governance, aiming at sustainable democratic societies in Europe. It will create a theoretical base to understand the dynamic connection between trust and distrust. It will develop an empirical data set aiming to calculate how trust and distrust are growing concerning governance at local, national and European levels. The project will also map trust and distrust levels in European societies, systematically comparing levels of interaction. In-depth interviews with citizens and governance actors as well as analyses of online and social media content will be used by seven research teams.

In EnTrust, we will provide novel insights into trust in governance and measures to support sustainable and democratic societies in Europe. Our project has five overarching objectives:
a) Develop a multidisciplinary theoretical framework to understand the dynamic relationship between trust and distrust, in order to promote new forms of enlightened trust in democratic governance;
b) Provide a comprehensive empirical dataset based on mixed methods and geared to measure how trust and distrust are constructed at individual, meso, and macro levels in relation to governance actors across local, national and European levels;
c) Systematically compare and map trust and distrust across European countries to understand context-specific forms of trust and distrust, their conditions and consequences;
d) Develop role models and best practices enabling to promote enlightened trust; and
e) Engage in active exploitation, dissemination and communication activities to reach the highest possible impact of our findings.

EnTrust consists of an interdisciplinary and well-integrated consortium of seven research teams from the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland and Serbia with expertise in sociology, psychology, political science, media and communication studies, as well as a civil society practitioner active at the EU level. Our work plan will generate novel theoretical and empirical insights on the basis of interlocked methods, including in-depth interviews and focus groups with citizens and governance actors, analyses of online and social media content, as well as a representative population survey and various experiments. Moreover, it will make use of innovative instruments to secure a high level of dissemination, exploitation and communication. Our goal is to provide tangible and viable recommendations for policymakers, civil society actors and the scientific community to improve trust relations.

Opis: The EU-RADION project will provide an innovative solution to deal with selected shortcomings in CBRNe protection indicated in the ENCIRCLE Catalogue. The project will provide an operational radiological threat detection and identification system comprising several technological components. The components encompass radiological threat dispersion modelling and analysis tools, test sensor platforms including swarm of mini UGVs, tactical command tool, network controller and sensor integration unit.
The sensor integration unit (SIU) will be a novel detector, which includes several radiological threat sensing devices supported by hydrogen sensor and positioning module. The SIU will be adaptable to several platforms (including stationary, handheld and UGV mounted units) and capable of operating in both indoors and outdoors environments. Furthermore, the system will feature a computational tool allowing for estimating the dispersion of RN material and its potential source. Moreover, the Tactical Command tool (TC) will be the highest layer of the system responsible for providing a user interface to the system and integrating data acquired from measurement and computational components. This component will cooperate directly with the network controller (NC) in order acquire data from radiological sensors. EU-RADION also assumes the implementation of UGV swarm concept for radiological threat detection and evaluation of its performance in CBRNe domain.
EU-RADION will be based on system-of-systems approach. All of the developed components will be designed as fully operational and independent modules. This will enhance the system interoperability and facilitate potential integration with other existing systems. The final system will be demonstrated in realistic environment (training tunnel).

The GLOBAL INDIA ETN will deliver a world-class multi-sectoral doctoral training programme focused on India’s emergence as a global and regional power, and its relationship with the EU. International research on India’s global role has not kept pace with the changes to India’s status as a growing economy and significant international actor. This is reflected in the lack of PhD level training programmes in Europe that have a focus on India. Europe lacks a knowledge base on India, the ETN addresses this by creating a multidisciplinary, multi-sectoral network bringing together six leading European universities, with six leading Indian universities, and six non-university partners (one as a beneficiary), all of whom have previously collaborated together. India’s actions as a global actor impact on the interests of the EU, and India as a democratic state could potentially be an ally for the EU on international issues that will affect the welfare and security of Europe. The quality of Indian democracy also shapes India’s actions as an international actor and therefore this programme examines the domestic challenges that are shaping Indian democracy and the key international actions of India that are most relevant to its relationship with Europe. The networks training programme is grounded in the academic excellence of the universities and the complimentarily of the strong, diverse range of non-academic partners – a representative business organisation, a consultancy SME; two think-tanks (in Brussels and New Delhi); a human rights organisation and a global company. The training programme requires that all ESRs will attend 9 network training events, providing workshops on skills (academic and practitioner), with inputs from all partners; complete an internship with a non-academic partner; and conduct extended period of field-work based in an Indian University. Key measurable outputs of the network will be 30 journal articles, 60 policy briefs and an active media presence.

Integrating Diversity in the European Union (InDivEU) is a Horizon 2020 funded project that will start in January 2019 and run for three years. Its main objective is to provide Europe’s policy makers with an important knowledge hub on ‘Differentiated Integration’.

The challenge of ‘integrating diversity in the European Union’ is back on the EU agenda as the EU strives to forge a post-crisis future, reach out to European citizens and counter-balance the anti-EU populist discourse.

The InDivEU project aims to contribute concretely to the current debate on the ‘Future of Europe’ by re-assessing, developing and testing a range of models and scenarios for different levels of integration among EU member states.

InDivEU will use various methods and data sources to explore Differentiated Integration conceptually and normatively, describe its historical trajectory and patterns, examine its causes and effects, study alternative forms of flexibility, and provide evidence-based policy advice on designing future forms of Differentiated Integration.

InDivEU will combine excellent academic research with the capacity to translate research findings into policy design and advice. The research will be supported by professional expertise and knowledge in project management, exploitation, dissemination and communication

Project consortium includes key European universities, including European University Institute in Florence, ETH Zurich, Hertie School of Governance in Berlin, London School of Economics, University of Amsterdam and others.

 The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 822304.

Samorząd lokalny zarówno w Europie, jak i w innych częściach świata musiał zmierzyć się w ostatnich dziesięcioleciach z wyzwaniem rozwoju metropolitalnego. Równoległe zjawiska związane ze wzrostem populacji i urbanizacją spowodowały z jednej strony pojawienie się megamiast, a z drugiej coraz bardziej wyludnionych obszarów wiejskich. Ta rosnąca przepaść między dużymi miastami i małymi samorządami wywarła znaczny wpływ pod wieloma względami: 1) odpowiedzialności władz lokalnych i ich zdolności do świadczenia usług publicznych, 2) kwestii finansowych, 3) struktury samorządu terytorialnego, 4) stosunków międzyrządowych z władzami centralnymi i regionalnymi, 5) udziału mieszkańców w lokalnym procesie decyzyjnym.

Wszystkie działania w ramach projektu są ukierunkowane na cel, jakim jest zwiększenie zdolności zarówno dużych miast, jak i małych samorządów do radzenia sobie z daleko idącymi konsekwencjami rozwoju metropolitalnego w pięciu wyżej wymienionych obszarach. Osiągnięcie tego podstawowego celu wymaga osiągnięcia celów szczegółowych:

1) zidentyfikowanie dobrych i złych praktyk w odniesieniu do pięciu wyżej wymienionych obszarów samorządu terytorialnego poprzez porównawcze badania prawne i polityczne, które opierają się na wymianie ustaleń i praktycznych doświadczeń partnerów z uzupełniającą wiedzą fachową z różnych części świata;

2) ustanowienie podstaw dla dalszych wspólnych badań w tych obszarach, wykraczających poza czas trwania projektu, poprzez stworzenie trwałej sieci naukowej i skuteczne rozpowszechnianie wyników badań zarówno w ramach regionalnych sieci partnerów, jak i na całym świecie;

3) zachęcanie do skutecznego stosowania innowacyjnych rozwiązań przez samorządy lokalne poprzez ścisłą współpracę między akademickimi partnerami projektu i lokalnymi decydentami (reprezentowanymi na przykład przez Kongres Władz Lokalnych i Regionalnych Rady Europy), który zapewnia międzysektorowy transfer wiedzy.

Projekt opiera się na procesie wymiany wiedzy poprzez oddelegowania personelu między uczestniczącymi instytucjami. Współpraca partnerów z różnych części świata (z Austrii, Francji, Hiszpanii, Macedonii, Niemiec, Szwajcarii, Włoch, Argentyny, Australii, Etiopii, Indii, Kanady, Singapuru, RPA) gwarantuje międzynarodowy charakter tej wymiany, zarówno w celu pozyskiwania wiedzy eksperckiej dla Europejskiej Przestrzeni Badawczej, jak i przekazywania jej innym państwom. Jednocześnie włączenie partnerów pozaakademickich do projektu zapewnia mu wymiar wymiany międzysektorowej.
