Did you develop a solution in response to the COVID19 pandemic's impact on our life in the built environment? Are you interested in 500.000 DKK in financial support to market trial your solution in Denmark - also as an international company. Then read more about the themes apply here before 1. September In just a very short time, COVID-19 mobilised governments, changed markets and not least changed the way people live. Work and time off under the same roof, distancing, and new routines for hygiene, shopping and meeting with others. The changes have had both negative and positive effects, and therefore they have been significant for our quality of life. In the ' RESPOND – a new framework for everyday life ' initiative, we want to build back better and support new solutions coming out of pandemic that can create a more resilient built environment with a better quality of life for everyone. So do you e.g. have: ✅ an innovative approach to indoor climate with a focus on health in addition to comfort? ✅ new solutions for a healthier, greener urban environment with room for everyone? ✅ new ways of supporting a varied, safe, and healthy hybrid-work environment, both physically and digitally? ...or something completely different we haven't thought of that will create a more resilient construction sector and better quality of life? Then apply here. RESPOND provides financial support for solutions that address a need that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic, and which have a lasting potential to make a positive difference to the building sectors resilience, sustainability, and quality of life. It is possible to apply for financial support up to 500,000 DKK incl. VAT (i.e. VAT cannot be added). The projects are expected to start January 2023 with a project period of up to 1 year. If you have any questions about the initiative or the call, don't hesitate to reach out to RESPOND innovation lead Toke Sabroe (toke@futureitis.dk) or Head of project Anne Gade Iversen (agi@realdania.dk).
On 28 July 2022 the Commission adopted the decision needed to set up a reformed Expert Group on Urban Mobility (EGUM). The new EU Urban Mobility Framework, adopted on 14 December 2021 as part of the Efficient and Green Mobility Package , states that a reinforced platform for dialogue and the co-creation of actions to implement the new framework will enable stronger engagement by Member States, and improved dialogue with cities, regions and stakeholders on all urban mobility issues. The previous Member States Expert Group on urban mobility (ref. E03165) will now cease operations. Membership The selection procedure for members for the Expert Group varies according to the body concerned: Member States have received a direct invitation to nominate representatives. Local and regional authorities are invited to respond to a call for expression of interest. Other organisations are invited to respond to a public call for applications. For any further information, contact MOVE-B3-SECRETARIAT@ec.europa.eu

I am looking for a German speaking partner to make a bid for the tender: Thema: „Weiterentwicklung von Nachhaltigkeitsindikatoren im Personenverkehr: Fußverkehr, Erreichbarkeit und Suffizienz“. Particular Suffizienz would be needed. We are already a consortium of two: Goudappel (Dutch company) and us. Please see the Leistungsbeschreibung attached. If you are interested, let me know. 2. Ziel und Gegenstand des Forschungsprojekts Im ersten Teil des Vorhabens sollen belegbare Zahlen zum tatsächlichen Fußverkehrsaufkommen generiert werden, indem auf Grundlage von umfassenden Recherchen zu internationalen Erhebungsmethoden eine für die Anwendung in Deutschland geeignete Erhebungsmethodik entwickelt und exemplarisch für eine Stadt angewandt wird. Dabei soll auch die Frage beantwortet werden, welchen Anteil der Fußverkehr speziell bei Wegen in Zusammenhang mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln ausmacht. Der zweite Teil befasst sich mit Indikatoren zur allgemeinen Erreichbarkeit. Dafür gibt es unterschiedliche Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeiten, welche bereits in diversen wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten dargestellt wurden. Im Rahmen dieses Forschungsprojekts sollen Indikatorvarianten zur Erreichbarkeit alltäglicher Ziele erläutert und die entsprechende Methodik hinsichtlich Aussagekraft, Datenbeschaffungsaufwand und Aktualisierungsmöglichkeit diskutiert sowie der oder die am besten geeignete(n) Indikator(en) exemplarisch berechnet werden. Außerdem ist ein Vorschlag für eine geeignete Darstellung zu erarbeiten. Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes sollen zudem im dritten Teil Indikatoren zur Beschreibung von Suffizienz und Entschleunigung im Verkehr auf den Prüfstand gestellt werden. Dafür werden Ergebnisse eines anderen Projektes und die darin erarbeiteten Indikatorenvorschläge zur Verfügung gestellt. Diese vorgeschlagenen Indikatoren sind auf Aussagekraft, Datenbasis und -aufwand sowie Aktualisierungsmöglichkeiten zu prüfen. Der oder die zwei am besten geeignete(n) Indikator(en) soll(en) exemplarisch berechnet und dargestellt werden. Die entsprechende Methodik ist zu beschreiben. Eine Betrachtung der drei genannten Aspekte Fußverkehr, Erreichbarkeit und Suffizienz rückt die grundlegende und alltägliche Art der Mobilität in den Fokus. Die Weiterentwicklung der Datengrundlagen und die damit einhergehende Ausweitung der Sachkenntnis unterstützt die politische Diskussion geeigneter Nachhaltigkeitsziele – nicht nur in Bezug auf Mobilität, sondern auch zur Daseinsvorsorge, gesellschaftlichen Teilhabe und Lebensqualität. Zu letzterem ist das Umweltbundesamt in Vorbereitung einer Indikatorensammlung, die Indikatoren aus verschiedenen Bereichen im Hinblick auf die Verknüpfung von Umwelt- und Lebensqualität darstellen wird. Dafür können die Ergebnisse dieses Forschungsvorhabens einen wertvollen Input geben. Aber auch in der Praxis, für die Städte und Gemeinden, sind die hier erarbeiteten Methoden und Indikatoren eine gute Hilfestellung, um Handlungsbedarfe aufzuzeigen und Fortschritte abzubilden. For more information, get in touch.
