SHPIG - Social and Health Policies for Inclusive Growth

Social protection is increasingly seen as a relevant tool for bringing about inclusive growth. This is in line with the broader idea of comprehensive development, which considers social inequality and sustainability issues as priority concerns, and reflects a significant shift in perspective. Good health is an important component of comprehensive growth. Poverty and ill health are highly correlated and mutually reinforcing: high direct and indirect costs of access to treatment lead to poverty or exacerbate existing poverty.

e-H@C HUPAction - Pilot project for crisis management and communication

In the e-H@C HUPAction project, a system is being developed and tested to improve the cross-border exchange of information between authorities and companies in the vegetable value chain, using the Euregio Rhine-Waal as an example. The focus is on the rapid detection and monitoring of health risks and the control of hazards posed by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) bacteria.

Land-use related influence of aerosols on solar energy generation

Global energy demand is increasing year by year. On the one hand, this is driven by population growth and, on the other, by the increasing demand for technical equipment, travel/transport and consumer goods.

Local "Assessment" of Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity in the Bonn Area

In and around Bonn, there is a unique concentration of local, regional, national and international actors in the field of biodiversity research and conservation. They include various institutions such as international organizations, relevant university institutes and facilities, several federal ministries and subordinate authorities, in addition to numerous other important actors of different stripes. With almost 60 member institutions from the Bonn/Rhein-Sieg region, BION bundles extensive knowledge and know-how in the field of biodiversity.

Food 2020 - Future offensive food industry

The Food 2020 project is all about the German-Dutch border region, the center of the European food industry. Through the project, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the food industry in the border region receive financial and technical support as well as innovative ideas from research institutions.

CSR communication put to the test

Food is increasingly available at lower prices in Germany. As a result, large sections of the population in Germany can now financially afford to eat meat every day, for example. However, the production, trade and consumption of meat are not free from criticism. Companies are responding to this with various means of improved communication; such as information offers or quality seals and labels for the consideration of animal welfare.

Development of a software tool for the recommendation of individualized indoor climate settings using weather forecast data

In order to save energy, ergonomic indoor climate control adapted to people's personal preferences is a good way. For this purpose, weather forecast data can be used, personal climate control data from the past, preferences and simulation evaluation data can be included and evaluated. A room model will be developed and simulated that evaluates such data and suggests individualized room climate control.

PV-Sp - Improving PV yield prediction for storage control - a pilot project with rooftop systems

In Germany, photovoltaic (PV) systems are increasingly being combined with battery storage systems to enhance self-consumption and relieve the electricity grids of weather-related power peaks. Predictions of solar radiation and expected PV power generation are prerequisites for an optimal battery charging strategy. In the PV-Sp project, a feasibility study is conducted exploring whether a radiation map can be created based on the PV yields of PV battery systems, leading to an improvement of PV power predictions.

EnerSHelF_DEF - Energy self-sufficiency for Health Facilities in Ghana

The main objectives of the definition project "Energy Self-sufficiency for Health Facilities in Ghana" were to form a consortium of academic and corporate partners to prepare a draft proposal for a research and development (R&D) project aimed primarily at simultaneously improving access to health services and energy through the development and delivery of context-appropriate and sustainable energy solutions for health facilities in Ghana.
