The different perspectives and studies that have been presented in the two previous part are complemented by the presentation of the following 11 study cases. These projects have been the result of field visits and interviews with several agents across Europe. The result is a diverse practical perspective with the key points of innovation regarding ageing in place, care services, urban developments and housing solutions as an inspirational source of knowledge and experiences for finding new opportunities for a longer-living Europe.

Remote Sensing for Archaeology and Cultural Landscapes Best Practices and Perspectives Across Europe...

January 2020

This book investigates the added value that satellite technologies and remote sensing could provide for a more sustainable mapping, monitoring and management of heritage sites, be it for purposes of regular maintenance or for risk mitigation in case of natural or man-caused hazards. One of the major goals of this book is to provide a clear overview on policy perspectives, regarding both space ... [Show full abstract] policy as well as heritage policy, and to provide possible suggestions for common ground of these two fields, in Europe and around the world. Readers will develop a good understanding of cutting-edge applications of remote sensing and geographic information science, and the challenges that affect heritage maintenance and protection. Particular attention is given to Earth observation and remote sensing techniques applied in different locations. This book brings together innovative technologies, concrete applications and policy perspectives that can lead to a more complete vision of cultural heritage as a resource for future development of our society as a whole.

Survey of digestive health across Europe: Final report. Part 1: The burden of gastrointestinal disea...

December 2014 · United European Gastroenterology Journal

United European Gastroenterology (UEG) which represents gastroenterology and hepatology and its sub-disciplines across Europe relies on accurate and up to date information on the burden of gastrointestinal diseases in Europe, the availability and quality of diagnostic and therapeutic services and the economic impact of these diseases across the member countries of the European Union to inform its ... [Show full abstract] strategy in advising relevant agencies on future clinical services and research priorities. Determining the trajectory of the morbidity and mortality of digestive diseases is vital in planning health services for the future and in making the case for investment in research where there are clear gaps in knowledge. In addition there are marked economic differences across the member nations in Europe and this is reflected in the funding available to support health services, making it highly likely that there are important disparities in the accessibility to high-quality healthcare. In September 2012 the UEG Council accepted a proposal from the UEG Future Trends Committee to commission a detailed survey of digestive health across Europe. The Future Trends Committee developed an outline framework for the study, following which there was an open, competitive process across Europe to identify a competent research group to undertake the project. The contract was awarded to an experienced group within the College of Medicine, Swansea University, United Kingdom, and the project was formally initiated in April 2013. The research group at Swansea has worked closely with the Committee, including an interim update meeting with the Committee in October 2013. The Committee also had the opportunity to make specific comments on a draft final report submitted in May 2014; a final report, Survey of Digestive Health Across Europe was received in August 2014. The final report is organised into two parts: Part 1, The burden of gastrointestinal diseases and the organisation and delivery of gastroenterology services across Europe and Part 2, The economic impact and burden of digestive disorders. We present here the executive summaries of the two parts of the survey, but the full report can be found on the UEG journal website. It is anticipated that several shorter publications will follow, focusing on some specific topics of particular importance and interest. Michael Farthing President United European Gastroenterology
