<p>There is a need for comprehensive, up-to-date, reliable and harmonised cross-border information on raw materials to improve resource efficiency across Europe. The Mintell4EU project builds on the achievements of previous projects such as Minerals4EU, ProSUM and Minventory to deliver data on the spatial distribution, production, trade, resource potential and levels of exploration activity to support decision making in government and industry.</p><p>The project has four principle components. The first component involves updating production, trade and exploration statistical data within the electronic European minerals yearbook. The second component includes extending the spatial coverage and improvement of spatial data quality within the Minerals4EU database. The third component will demonstrate how the application of the United Nations Framework Classification (UNFC) will provide a tool that can be used to more accurately assess European mineral inventories. The final component involves consolidating the electronic European minerals yearbook into the Minerals4EU database used for external systems such as the European Geological Data Infrastructure (EGDI) and the Joint Research Center’s Raw Materials Information System (RMIS). Another important goal of the project is to create a sustainable platform for raw materials.</p><p>The project works in collaboration with other GeoERA projects within the theme of raw materials such as FRAME and the GeoERA Information Platform Project (GIP-P). This collaboration is critical in ensuring data harmonisation across projects, regions and focus areas. Improvements in the quality and availability of data that are available through the web portal on the project home page https://geoera.eu/projects/mintell4eu7/ have already been achieved. Work will continue on improving the availability and relevance of raw material data throughout the remainder of the project. This will lead to improved foresight of the raw material supply situation and potential of Europe within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).</p><p>This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 731166</p>

Abstract. The simultaneous in situ measurement of O2 and CO eq.  in cement kilns is a great challenge due to the high process temperatures and high dust load. The standard method for measurement for flue gas in cement kilns is extractive. Extractive measurements have a higher response time due to the flue gas conditioning including the length of heated extraction lines for electrochemical or optical analysis. This delayed response is not optimal for fast process control.A probe was developed for this purpose in which the in situ solid electrolyte oxygen sensor and an in situ CO eq.  mixed potential sensor are implemented. Due to the high temperatures, the probe is cooled by a water–coolant mixture. In order to prevent deposits of raw material forming and sintering on the probe, it rotates 90° in programmable intervals. In addition, an automated probe plunger pneumatically removes plugging at the probe flue gas entrance, also in programmable intervals. These self-cleaning functions allow the probe to continually stay in the process for combustion optimisation (low excess O2 and CO) and enable the plant operator to measure additional process-related gas components (NO, SO2, HCl etc.) and optimise the SNCR (selective non-catalytic reduction) for NOx reduction. Combustion air supply can be adapted very quickly due to the in situ sensors, which has been demonstrated by a CEMTEC® probe over years (Märker Cement Harburg, 2017).

&lt;p&gt;The photooxidation and ozonolysis of a wide range of anthropogenic and biogenic compounds results in the formation of polyfunctional oxygenated organic volatile compounds (OVOCs), which are ubiquitous intermediates and important source of radicals, as well as a significant contributor to the organic fraction of aerosol, playing an important role in the air quality and in the health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the aim of ensuring a good quality of the measurements, an intercomparison campaign on instruments and techniques to measure OVOCs was held at the EUPHORE atmosphere simulation chamber (Valencia, Spain), allowing the simultaneous sampling from the same air mixture under controlled conditions and facilitating the characterization of the instrumental performance. This intercomparison is part of the activities within the EUROCHAMP-2020 project (www.eurochamp.org) and is aligned with the ACTRIS objectives. &amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On-line and off-line techniques were employed. These comprised different approaches of mass spectrometers and optical devices as on-line systems and a suite of commercial and non-commercial cartridges as off-line. Some of the experiments were also modeled. The intercomparison included three types of scenarios, the two later simulating typical urban and semi-urban conditions: 1. Synthetic mixture of carbonyls, 2. Products from photooxidations of biogenic and anthropogenic VOCs and 3. Products from ozonolysis of biogenic VOC and monoterpenes, under different relative humidity conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This work represents a step forward in the evaluation and conclusions of the data obtained. An overall good agreement was found among the techniques with good correlations, especially in the synthetic mixtures, as expected, while these parameters worsen under more realistic conditions with complex gas samples. Regarding off-line techniques, good practices on sample storage and use are discussed. Advanced analysis using clusters was also applied to group instruments with similar behaviour, indicating similar performance among the on-line instruments although partitions revealed certain discrepancies. The role of the gas mixture, the calibration set-up and the humidity conditions are discussed in this work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acknowledgements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This project/work has received funding from the European Union&amp;#8217;s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme through the EUROCHAMP-2020 Infrastructure Activity under grant agreement No 730997.

Marine Data

&lt;p&gt;The pan-European SeaDataNet marine and ocean data infrastructure started in early 2000, by means of a European funded project to create a framework for the management of large and diverse sets of data deriving from in situ measurements. It has been improved thanks to different European projects, it represents the joint efforts of several marine institutes around the European and the Mediterranean seas. The current project that is improving the infrastructure is the SeaDataCloud Horizon 2020 project; it involves a network of 56 partners across 29 countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to our main objectivest he project designed and implemented actions which can spur a response on an international level, creating the basis to reinforce the pan-European SeaDataCloud community.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Information Technology (IT) has an important impact on how people work together. In the SeaDataCloud project the following web communication tools are used:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;SeaDataNet website and Extranet;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Partners&amp;#8217; websites;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Mailing lists;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Electronic newsletters;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;On line educational materials;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Videos and video tutorials;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Twitter;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Articles in e-journals;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Members of the SeaDataCloud and SeaDataNet I and II, have had the opportunity of face to face meetings, the norm is to travel even for meetings of short duration. This investment in time and money allows direct contact between the partners of the projects. This creates an opportunity for people across Europe to meet each other, to work together and to speak openly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The IMDIS (International Conference on Marine Data and Information Systems) conferences have been organized in the framework of the European funded projects that have allowed the SeaDataNet infrastructure to be developed and upgraded. The meetings started in 2005 with the first conference organised in Brest (France), to share knowledge and best practices on marine data management. IMDIS is a unique platform and has the following goals:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Raise awareness of the SeaDataNet infrastructure, new development and standards;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Share experiences in ocean data management;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Enable synergies between data providers and data managers.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has been a breeding ground for inspirational ideas, for example the project ODIP (Ocean Data Interoperability Platform) that led to its successor ODIP II project was conceived during one of the conferences. The challenges and objectives of the projects were to find common interoperability solutions to problems in ocean data sharing, in collaboration with institutions from Europe, USA and Australia. In this case the IMDIS series of conferences have represented an opportunity not only for knowledge exchange in ocean data management but they have led to significant results in terms of new synergies that made it possible to find new partners and projects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The direct interactions during the meetings as well as the on line tools have had a positive impact on reinforcing the development of a large SeaDataNet community across Europe and beyond.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The SeaDataCloud project has received funding from the European Union&amp;#8217;s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement N&amp;#186; 730960.&lt;/p&gt;

The aim of the article is to study some aspects of the participation of Ukraine in the European innovation programmes, particularly in the Framework programme for research and technological development and to consider factors that contribute to the attractiveness of these programmes for Ukraine and possible risks associated with the implementation of EU policies in the field of science in Ukrainian reality. The methodological basis of research constitute the historical and logical and systematic approaches in the study of patterns of innovation development in the context of economic growth and increase competitiveness. Actuality of this theme is explained by the creation of the global information society, the incipience of the new technological production method and by wide development of innovative cooperation between countries. Such collaboration, as a rule, promotes comprehensive expansion of trade, mutual investing in national production complexes, wide integration. The results of the analysis. Basic features, components and the role of European framework programme for research and innovation “Horizon 2020” for European Research Area’s creating were analyzed. Ukraine’s involvement in the process of international scientific and technical integration and economic component of Ukraine's participation in European framework programme for research and innovation “Horizon 2020” were investigated. The main priorities of national innovation policy were defined and measures concerning Ukraine’s innovative potential activation and improvement through participation in European innovative programmes were proposed. International innovative programs will promote adaptation of the country to the EU norms and standards, increase mobility of Ukrainian experts, researchers and educators in the European space, speed up European integration. Full participation in the Framework Programme “Horizon 2020” projects would attract countries to the advanced technology of its scientific potential, additional financing of the Ukrainian research organizations and institutions involved in joint projects. Scientific novelty of the research results consists of predicting a possible increase innovation potential of the economy of Ukraine based on the study of international innovation programmes as a factor of integration of Ukraine into the EU. The practical significance of the results consists of importance of theoretical propositions, conclusions and recommendations for practical application of these results in the learning process, the development and improvement of certain legislative acts of Ukraine and to justify special measures for government agencies to address the problems associated with the innovative development of Ukraine. Conclusions and directions of further researches. The practical result of international cooperation Ukraine should be achievement standards of innovative progress inherent in the developed world. These standards are primarily related to the rationalization of energy consumption and using natural resources, technology standards, legal protection of intellectual property, international quality standards, certification of products and services. With appropriate adaptation in Ukraine, it is possible to use the EU strategic instruments, in particular the "open method of coordination", which will enable Ukraine to study the experience of other countries, as well as exchange of innovative practices. In the future, it is worth exploring the ways of adaptation and implementation of EU strategic tools in Ukraine, which will provide the basis for the implementation of the programme initiatives of the “Europe 2020” Strategy.
