IETU in the 5th European Union Framework Programme
Since the very beginning of the Fifth EU Framework Programme, i.e. since 1998 IETU has participated in preparation and submission of 37 project proposals, particularly under the Key Action: “Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development” (EESD). IETU’s activity in this field was recognised by getting two nominations to a “Crystal Brussels” award in the category of RTD units. According to the latest statistics carried out by the National Contact Point on the 30th of November 2002 the average coefficient of success calculated as projects submitted vs. projects accepted is 26,5% for the whole Fifth Framework Programme and about 20% for projects with the participation of Polish research teams. The coefficient of success of projects realised by Polish teams in 2002 was 32,2%, which was significantly higher than in 1999 (19,9%) or 2000 (19,8%). For the Key Action: “Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development” the coefficient of success for Polish teams was 19.94% for the whole Fifth Framework Programme, reaching the value of 63,21% in 2002. From among 37 project proposals with IETU’s participation submitted to the European Commission 12 projects were accepted, which gives the success coefficient of 32,4% for the whole Fifth Framework Programme and 31,2% for the EESD action. Research and development projects realised by IETU under the 5th EU Framework Programme: INCORE – Integrated Concept for Groundwater Remediation PHYTODEC – A Decision Support System to Quantify Cost /Benefit Relationships of the Use of Vegetation in the Management of Heavy Metal Polluted Soils and Dredged Sediments MERLIN – Multi-Pollutant, Multi-Effect Modelling of European Air Pollution: an Integrated ApproachMETALLOPHYTES - Turning Plants into Heavy Metal Accumulators WELCOME – Development of Integrated Management System for Prevention and Reduction of Pollution of Waterbodies at Contaminated Industrial Megasites IMAGE-TRAIN – Innovative Management of Groundwater Resources – Training Programme for EU Accession Countries CABERNET – Concerted Action on Brownfields and Economic Regeneration Network URBAN-EXPOSURE - Integrated Exposure Management Tool Characterising Air Pollution-Relevant Human Exposure in Urban Environment MERCYMS - An Integrated Approach to Assess the Mercury Cycling in the Mediterranean Basin NORISC – Network Oriented Risk-Assessment by In-situ Screening of Contaminated Sites CARBOMONT – Effects of Land-use Changes on Sources Sinks and Fluxes of Carbon in European Mountain AreasEMECAP-NAS – European Mercury Emission from Chlor-Alkali Plants
All projects carried out by IETU under the Fifth EU Framework Programme concern primarily the issues of industrialised and urbanised areas. The main features of these projects are multidisciplinarity and complexity of the initiatives undertaken to ensure environmental safety, and the final objective – providing effective tools to support sustainable management of the environment.
