Did you pick the right mean of transport? Do the right mix of urban mobility!

The European Commission’s Sustainable Urban Mobility campaign, launched in July 2012, is a three-year initiative aiming to support sustainable urban mobility campaigners in the European Union’s 28 Member States, plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

The central objective of this campaign is to promote the advantages of combining different modes of transportation

The campaign bears the slogan ‘Do the Right Mix’, and aims to highlight and advertise the fact that by using different modes of transportation for each journey as appropriate, people can improve their health, their finances and the environment.

Romania are un proiect inscris pe harta pentru Bucuresti - I like bike!

is the EU budget well spent?

Some think it is! and they created also a website: http://wellspent.eu/ that tells the story of some  smart & green European projects...too few in my opinion (as the EC published last week a list with around 100 successful projects).

Nimic despre Romania pe site-ul mai sus mentionat...poate fiindca banii nu sunt bine cheltuiti? cine stie...insa Bulgaria este mentionata cu proiectul de renovare al metroului din Sofia!!! Nice, nu? ca noi nu am reusit sa atragem bani pentru metroul nostru, ba chiar lucrarile s-au amanat...

Anyway, http://wellspent.eu/, take a look at the video - it's well done ;)

Good examples of EU funded projects

"The European Union budget is relatively small (around 1% of EU GNI), but it can make a big difference." 

This is what the EC thinks and this is why last week published a list with successfully funded projects from EU budget (in the same day when the Council was negotiating the Multi Financial Framework, that is the EC budget until 2020). Smart PR trick!

The list contains references to almost 100 european projects, from which only 3 had beneficiaries from Romania:

  • Major EU investment for a pan-European scientific research hub in Romania – Funding: almost EUR 180 million (ERDF) - adica super laser-ul ce se va construi la Magurele;
  • Enabling the disabled of Europe – Funding: EUR 32 391.47 - ceva donatii pe la Petrosani;
  • Bakery production for local community of over 85 000 people – Funding: EUR 920 107 (EAFRD) - o brutarie la Cluj.

nu am chef azi...

incep prin a preciza ca aceste cazuri sunt destul de rare raportate la numarul total de angajati ai Comisiei (circa 25 de mii). nu voi comenta nimic ci voi relata doar faptele:

sunt implicat (ca si IT) intr-un proiect ce presupune promovocare unui numar ridicat de evenimente cu impact european. un numar destul de restrans din aceste evenimente sunt deosebit de importante atat prin tema cat si datorita faptului ca la ele participa reprezentati inalti ai comisiei (comisari, sefi de directorate, sefi de unitati).

aceste evenimente au o promovare aparte pe siteul proiectului de care va spun. desi siteul proiectului are vizibilitate destul de ridicata, el ramane doar un proiect din cele multe ale directoratului. propun business managerului ca am avea de castigat daca aceste evenimente de importanta majora ar fi promovate pe portalul principal al directoratului.

cadem de acord si contactez divizia de comunicare. pentru a fi aprobate si afisate pe portal, evenimentele trebuie introduse in sistemul central de management si diseminare al stirilor si evenimentelor (sa-l numim N). divizia de comunicare ne asigura ca evenimentele vor fi tratate ca atare si promovate pe portal si in newsletter de indata ce ele sunt introduse in sistemul N. directia de comunicare adauga in CC doi posibili web editori ai unitatii de business de care apartine proiectul.

cum mesajul catre cei doi web editori era mai mult o rugaminte de asistenta, asteptam cuminti o reactie. dupa 2 zile primim un raspuns de la unul dintre ei: "i'm not touching the system N. i don't know what is it about and I don't introduce anything". era unul dintre editorii care practic este responsabil cu scrierea si promovarea de stiri si articole privind activitatea unitatii (si care cunoaste foarte bine de altfel procesele si sistemul N). celalalt editor nu
a zis nimic...

trimit un reply doar catre business manager (coleg de unitate cu editorul razvratit, avand chiar birourile unul langa altul) si ii spun sincer ca eu nu inteleg de ce nu vrea sa ne ajute din moment ce este chiar una din responsabilitatile sale. primesc raspuns: "it seems that X is very reluctant. contact the other editor". si continua intr-un alt email: "i don't wanna do a bit fuss about it...try to solve it on your side with the communication unit".

raspunsul meu a fost scurt la obiect: "i don't believe I should push anymore into this endeavor. once the events will be encoded the communication unit will do their job and publish the events". nu am mai primit nici un alt raspuns.

evenimentele nu au fost publicate nici in ziua de astazi...
