SPROUT provides a new city-led innovative and data driven policy response to address the impacts of the emerging mobility patterns, digitally-enabled operating & business models, and transport users’ needs. Previously tested and implemented policy responses employing access restrictions, congestion charging or infrastructure provision, seem today, unable to adequately address the changes underway in the urban mobility scene. Furthermore, any policy responses should take into all stages of the policy lifecycle and should have an eye not only to the present but also to the future. Therefore, starting from an understanding of the transition taking place in urban mobility, SPROUT will define the resultant impacts at the sustainability and policy level, will harness these through a city-led innovative policy response, will build cities’ data-driven capacity to identify, track and deploy innovative urban mobility solutions, and will navigate future policy by channelling project results at local, regional, national and EU level. To achieve its goals, SPROUT will employ 6 city pilots (including China) with real-life policy challenges faced as a result of urban mobility transition in both passenger & freight, covering urban and peri-urban areas, different emerging mobility solutions, and context requirements. The project pays special attention to the needs of vulnerable groups and users with different cultural backgrounds, taking also into account gender issues. SPROUT ensures an active participation of numerous representatives from authorities of small & medium-sized cities through a 3-layer structure of cities’ engagement approach, and through the creation of an Open Innovation Community on Urban Mobility Policy.

"<< Objectives >>The project is part of a context of prioritising the themes of digital technology and sustainable development for the well-being and success of children by ensuring educational continuity and an approach that favours the integration of all. The aim of this project is to question so-called innovative practices and to verify how local authorities (cities) can work towards success and remobilisation at school and in education.<< Implementation >>The E-QUALITY project will develop a tool called portefolio through mobilities and videoconferences. This portfolio will allow to train and raise awareness on innovation and inclusive education issues among all stakeholders in education. ANDEV will organise an open exchange group on the theme of ""Europe and education"" with the aim of making the project live in an action-research dimension to enrich the points of view and the educational practices<< Results >>This project will verify how the school can innovate outside its walls or open up to others. Our objective is to orientate the educational action and the care of the child before his schooling, in, around and outside the school, within the framework of a partnership consolidated by a governance allowing times of strategic and operational exchanges with the actors of the territory.Please provide a translation into English."

"The INCLUMAP project involves 4 secondary schools (general education and VET) with a percentage of foreign students, first or second generation migrants, between 10% and 30%, distributed between Italy, Spain, Portugal, southern countries Europe for centuries exposed to migrations and cultural contamination thanks to contacts with Mediterranean populations, to which were added, in particular in the last 10 years, migratory flows coming from the former colonies or by sea, making these countries an objective for many migrants seeking access to EU.The general objective of the project is to develop competences of active citizenship and intercultural dialogue in 320 secondary school students, to allow everyone, natives and migrants, to contribute to the formation of communities inspired by the values of respect, mutual knowledge and appreciation, and to democracy, starting from school life, thanks to the creation of multicultural and stratified learning communities.The objective will be achieved through the design and experimentation of 4 interdisciplinary educational programs, aimed at the reconstruction, recovery and enhancement of the traditional heritage related to the material culture of all students, native and migrant, which make up the multicultural and stratified learning neo-communities; each program will be dedicated to an indicator relating to the Framework of Civilization, according to the historiographical approach of Fernand Braudel: IO1 Food; IO2 Clothing; IO3 Work Items; IO4 Housing and objects of everyday life. Specific objectives of each of the 4 Outputs will be:- collection, analysis and documentation of the specific indicator within the framework of civilization, to be achieved through the historical-philosophical, linguistic, humanistic and religious curricular disciplines- reconstruction of the civilization framework thus obtained in relation to the specific indicator, reconstructed on the basis of multi-ethnic indicators relating to the civilization framework, operated within the curriculum of the STEM disciplines, through the use of digital holographic projection technology, with a view to pupil-led project work, aimed at the reproduction, piloted by the students, of the ""thick description"" of the multicultural neo-community and stratified in which they learn and live.The methodological approach is Service Learning, which allows to combine the learning of curricular disciplines such as history / philosophy, linguistics on the one hand, and STEM on the other, with the service approach to one's reference community, of which the students detect needs and together, collaboratively, work to offer a solution to the common problem of the entire social / civil group.The reconstruction of the 4 indicators of material culture relative to the civilization framework by schools will be methodologically assisted on one side by 4 ethnographic / historical / material civilization museums, while from the technological point of view it will be supported by an expert partner in holographic technologies applied to teaching.The target groups and related medium-long term impacts will be:- 320 secondary school students, of whom one-third are migrants or of foreign origin, whose intention is to develop competences of intercultural dialogue and education for active citizenship, in order to combat prejudice and hostility towards ""the other"", to fight against social and cultural segregation, promoting values of respect and mutual understanding within multicultural and layered learning communities- 20 secondary school teachers, both in STEM and humanistic subjects (ARTS), whose aim is to develop new skills in managing groups of multicultural students, with a view to combating discrimination, racism at school, promoting inclusive teaching also to ensure equal opportunities for access to the highest levels of education to all students, native and migrant- 16 operators of museum and cultural institutions, who will be able to benefit from new skills for the promotion of European cultural heritage, with a view to enhancing the components of the material culture of today's multicultural and stratified society, and proposing new multimedia and interactive learning paths digital thanks to the use of holographic technology"

Blue-Action will provide fundamental and empirically-grounded, executable science that quantifies and explains the role of a changing Arctic in increasing predictive capability of weather and climate of the Northern Hemisphere.To achieve this Blue-Action will take a transdisciplinary approach, bridging scientific understanding within Arctic climate, weather and risk management research, with key stakeholder knowledge of the impacts of climatic weather extremes and hazardous events; leading to the co-design of better services.This bridge will build on innovative statistical and dynamical approaches to predict weather and climate extremes. In dialogue with users, Blue-Arctic will take stock in existing knowledge about cross-sectoral impacts and vulnerabilities with respect to the occurrence of these events when associated to weather and climate predictions. Modeling and prediction capabilities will be enhanced by targeting firstly, lower latitude oceanic and atmospheric drivers of regional Arctic changes and secondly, Arctic impacts on Northern Hemisphere climate and weather extremes. Coordinated multi-model experiments will be key to test new higher resolution model configurations, innovative methods to reduce forecast error, and advanced methods to improve uptake of new Earth observations assets are planned. Blue-Action thereby demonstrates how such an uptake may assist in creating better optimized observation system for various modelling applications. The improved robust and reliable forecasting can help meteorological and climate services to better deliver tailored predictions and advice, including sub-seasonal to seasonal time scales, will take Arctic climate prediction beyond seasons and to teleconnections over the Northern Hemisphere. Blue-Action will through its concerted efforts therefore contribute to the improvement of climate models to represent Arctic warming realistically and address its impact on regional and global atmospheric and oceanic circulation.
