This common challenge is identified by the consortium in order to meet an increased demand of personalized learning in the 21st century European classroom. The next generation PLE should address students in primary and secondary school within the topics of Science, Math and Technology (STEM) and support different learning styles in an individualized way. Furthermore the PLE should be accessible from any device and therefore adjustable to the method bring your own device (BYOD). The project will prepare and create a mutual understanding of the PCP method for the public procurers, execute a joint PCP European call and enable the research/development of ICT solutions for PLE from different suppliers evaluated through a common set of joint criteria. The PCP process and the PLE technology as a whole will be evaluated during the project in an open dialogue between public procurers and industry. This learning process contributes to set European standards within learning technologies as well as present an innovative PCP strategy for increased quality and efficiency of public procurement. The IMAILE project is offering a direct solution to both demand- and supplier side within learning technologies. The solution is developed and evaluated according to the customized needs from the demand side. While the suppliers gain a solution adoptable directly on the European market. This action will in a long term perspective contribute to a broaden and innovative use of learning technologies in primary/ secondary education as a result of effective public – private partnerships for sustainable digital learning solutions in Europe. 2 FP7-ICT-2013-11 CP-CSA proposal 10/04/2013 IMAILE Table of contents Part Content Pages SECTION 1 S&T CONCEPT 1.1 Soundness of concept and quality 1.1.1 Concept 5 of objectives 1.1.2 Topics addressed by the call 16 1.1.3 S&T objectives 17 1.1.4 Overall approach combining CP CSA parts 18 1.2 Progress beyond state of the art 1.2.1 International state of the art 22 1.2.2 Technical limitations of existing solutions 25 1.2.3 Advance with project/ main innovations 1.2.4 R&D contract scope 28 1.3 Contribution to coordination of 1.3.1 CSA activities strengthen public cooperation 30 high quality research ( CSA) 1.3.2 Radical improvements to procurement strategies 33 1.3.3 Gender and environmental perspective 34 1.4 Coordination activities and 1.4.1 Overall strategy of work plan 35 associated work plan CSA part 1.4.2 Gantt 36 Template 1.4.a Work package list 37 Template 1. 4.b List of Deliverables 38 Template 1. 4.c List of Milestones 40 Template 1.4.d WP 2 – 7 41 1.4.3 PERT diagram 55 1.4.4.

Europe must support national efforts to help students to learn better, teachers to teach better, and school systems to become more effective. We need customized learning systems that can adapt to effective use in a wide variety of diverse contexts. This is key for a successful modernization of educational and training systems in Europe.” This is the main reason to why our consortium consisting of both public procurers in 7 different countries as well as other support organizations have decided to develop this proposal and our project IMAILE. By presenting our proposal we aim to contribute to a modern educational and training system for teaching Science, Math and Technology (STEM) in European primary and secondary schools using the PCP method in order to customize the approach. Fact is that in spite of high investments on hardware and infrastructure during the last years we still confront a fairly low use of ICT to perform innovative teaching and creative learning in our European classrooms. We firmly believe that one reason can be the lack of customized ICT products and services developed according to our needs and in collaboration direct with the end users. Background Halmstad municipality who is coordinator of this proposal is also coordinator of the successful Interreg IVA project Smil (E) www.smil-e.eu Scandinavian Methods for Innovative Learning (Europe). In the Smil (E) project School area North is the practicing partner for primary and secondary education with the content Math, Science, Technology with ICT as a tool. The project ends in December 2013 with a lot of lessons learned and best practice cross border examples as a result on how to be successful in Science Math and Technology with ICT in primary and secondary school. During the SMIL (E) project we have also detected a development need of innovative, strategic but mainly MORE INNOVATIVE procurement methods at a municipal and regional level regarding use of ICT products and services in our schools. During a Nordic School leader conference in October 2012 arranged by the Smil(E) project this discussion was continued with Nordic partners as well as the customized need of ICT learning environments for our Education system. After this school leader conference we decided to lift our cooperation from cross border to a European cooperation and involve partners/ stakeholders from European member states in order to tackle these challenges in a common approach. Our challenges I. Use procurement to reach strategic, innovative and sustainable ICT school development II. Customized learning systems / learning environments for our Education system 5 FP7-ICT-2013-11 CP-CSA proposal 10/04/2013 IMAILE Actual ICT / Education and possibilities within this call In spite of high investments in hardware and infrastructure in our schools we still don’t see the desired effect of an increased take up and innovative use of ICT in our European schools and classrooms.

However, a new group of scholars have studied the term from a new perspective. Within this new perspective, informality has a strong relationship with the state, specifically in relation to how informality emerges and appears in physical space. This thesis departs from these scholars and aims to understand the relationship between state and informality from a Swedish municipal perspective, by examining the state’s motivations and interpretations of place and legality. A case in the municipality of Halmstad has been analysed using concepts from this new perspective in order to understand how the informal practice emerged and to analyse its relation to the state. Three different perceptions of how the relationship between the state and informality works have been depicted in order to draw comparisons with the study case. In this way, the thesis is able to draw clear conclusions about what kind of relationship there is in Halmstad municipality.

  • Vindkraftverk - Inverkan På Flyttfåglar Över Halmstad Kommun
    Högskolan i Halmstad Sektionen för ekonomi och teknik Miljövetareprogrammet Halmstad 2009-02-07 Vindkraftverk - inverkan på flyttfåglar över Halmstad kommun Författare: Thomas Hultquist Handledare: Per Magnus Ehde 1 Sammanfattning Vindkraft är ett känsligt område att studera, eftersom det finns både ekonomiska och ekologiska intressen som berörs. I dagens energikrävande samhälle behövs ett renare alternativ till el som producerats från förbränning. Ett alternativ är vindkraft. Vindkraften byggs ut i en stor omfattning och hela Sverige berörs av denna utbyggnad. När det är så stora ekonomiska intressen inblandat finns det risk att andra intressen åsidosätts. Förhoppningen är att den här studien ger en förbättrad kunskap om hur vindkraftsanläggningar påverkar vissa fåglar. Studien omfattar Halmstad kommun och enskilda vindkraftsverk. Metoden har varit att sammanställa äldre rapporter av sträckande fåglar för att hitta en lämplig lokal att utföra fältstudier på samt att utföra fältstudierna i närheten av vindkraftsanläggningar. Studien som utfördes under en begränsad tidsperiod resulterade i att materialet är för magert, för att kunna dra några säkra slutsatser från. Det material som erhölls visar dock att de sträckande fåglarna flyger på en högre höjd än vindkraftverkens 75-150 meters höjd, de fåglar som sträcker på en lägre höjd hinner väja och väljer att flyga runt eller över. Vindkraften bör kunna byggas ut i Sverige, förutsatt att det sker under större kontroll och efter mer omfattande undersökningar hur det påverkar fågellivet. Studien ger inget svar på om vindkraft är den rätta energikällan att satsa på utan är ett bidrag till en utökad kunskap för framtida beslut. 2 Abstract Wind power is a difficult subject to study, since it is both economical and ecological interests involved.

  • Master Thesis
    Master's Programme in Renewable Energy systems MASTER Bio-energy production from beach cast macro algae THESIS The west coast of Sweden Meaza Tadesse Yohannes Energy Engineering, 15 credits Halmstad 2015-08-31 0 ABSTRACT Excessive algae growth/ bloom has become a commonly observed phenomenon in many water bodies globally due to eutrophication. This phenomenon has also been observed in the Baltic Sea which create nuisance in many Baltic coastal communities when the macro algae of different species is washed ashore by wind and wave, which is known as “beach cast algae”. In recent years various Baltic projects has been commenced in order to utilize “beach cast algae” for energy production via anaerobic digestion technology. Harvesting beach cast macro algae for energy production not only give a renewable energy but also improve tourism and recreation, as well as largely contribute towards the marine ecosystem by reducing nutrient load. However, high concentration of heavy metal especially of cadmium in macro algae has limited the potential of anaerobic digestion since cadmium would limit the bio-fertilizer potential of the fermentation residue/digestate. Different heavy metal removal technique has been suggested so far but their potential on large scale application as well as the economic and environmental aspects of the removal techniques are unknown. The present thesis focuses on the west coast of Sweden and evaluate the possibility of combustion of beach cast macro algae in an already existing waste incineration plant. Furthermore, three different scenarios for energy extraction from beach cast macro algae are compared from energy balance perspective. The study was based on a case study, literature review and energy balance analysis.

    EXPLORING THE PATHS THE TRANSITION TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SYSTEM FOR A SWEDISH MUNICIPALITY Master’s thesis in Sustainable Energy Systems JOHN JOHANNESSON Department of Energy and Environment CHALMERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY Göteborg 2016 EXPLORING THE PATHS The Transition Towards a Sustainable Energy System for a Swedish Municipality © JOHN JOHANNESSON, 2016 Supervisor: Germán Maldonado Examiner: Erik Ahlgren Department of Energy and Environment Chalmers University of Technology SE-412 96 Göteborg Sweden Telephone + 49 (0)31-772 1000 i ABSTRACT About three fourths of the global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions can be linked to energy use. This study aims to identify some driving forces behind the development of an energy system and how these forces can drive the development of a sustainable energy system. The study focuses on a single Swedish municipality, Halmstad. A secondary purpose has been to analyse some concepts of energy system forecasting. The energy system can be described as a sociotechnical system. Three related mechanisms discussed in the study are learning by doing, lock-in and technology clusters. To gain an understanding of the structure and development of the energy system, data and information regarding the import, production and consumption of energy was collected. To make the forecasts in this thesis, the method of logistic forecasting has been used. Halmstad’s generation capacity for electricity as of 2015 is 61 MW and consists primarily of wind power (40%), followed by hydropower (36%), combined heat and power generation (22%) and solar photovoltaics (2%). District heating is supplied by two plants: a 68 MW capacity waste-incineration plant, supplemented when needed by a natural gas and wood chip-fired 122 MW capacity plant.

Ökningen smälter inlandsisarna och Antarktis samt expanderar havet vilket höjer havsnivån och påverkar erosion. Denna havsnivåhöjning med tilläggande stormar höjer havsnivån markant och påverkar kustkommuner. Olika RCP scenarion är framtagna för att förutse hur framtiden kommer att se ut år 2100. Vilken av RCP scenarion som kan inträffa beror på hur klimatpolitiken och utsläppen fortskrider. Syftet är att skapa ett kunskapsunderlag för Halmstad kommun med föreslagna naturbaserade klimatanpassningsåtgärder utmed kusten. Arbetet fokuseras på omvärldsanalys, vilket genomförts i form av intervjuer från kustkommuner och litteraturstudie från rapporter. Naturbaserade klimatanpassningsåtgärder har funktionen att skydda mot havshöjning och erosion men ökar även biologisk mångfald samt skapar rekreation. Redovisade åtgärder är sandstaket,
