The employees seconded to the partnering municipalities will be integrated into the ELENA team though continuous communication and project meetings – regarding progress of the project, and current status of the secondment. Furthermore the programme manager will visit each seconded employee. Further staff details and short resumes are attached as Annex A. 1.3 Setting up IT-system Based on experiences from the REEEZ (Zealand Region of Denmark), CEICAD (Capital Region of Denmark) and EPSD (Southern Region of Denmark) projects a new project management spreadsheet has been developed. The purpose is to keep track of all investments and ongoing activities (current status, tasks, timesheets, finance, energy and CO2 savings etc.) and hereby enhance the cooperation between the municipalities and the project department. A public campaign-webpage concerning the project has been initiated. The webpage will serve as a communication platform, containing general information about CeDEPI (i.e. purpose, status, results). This will provide information to the general public as well as to the municipalities. Information from this webpage can also be used on the local municipality websites. Furthermore the webpage may be used to announce upcoming workshops and to upload meeting reports, hereby serving an internal communication purpose as well. 1.4 Planned/expected Work Programme for the Project Department The project department is to act as the CeDEPI command centre. The department is responsible for: • Daily administration of the project. • Implementation of tenders and concluding contracts with external advisors/consultants in collaboration with the project groups and partners. • Coordination of external advisors in collaboration with the partners. • Providing technical assistance to the partners to prepare the investment programme – including tender preparation. • Internal communication with the project group. • Facilitating relevant conferences and workshops. • Coordination of legal assistance. • Collection and registration of data governing partner investments. Central Denmark Region Page 2 of 8 Viborg, November 14th 2014 1.5 Work Plan The CeDEPI organization has been established with a steering committee appointed by the local government. The committee is responsible for budget, time schedules and reports to the EIB with meetings every three months (depending on project activities and progress). All partner municipalities have appointed representatives to an Advisory Group which advises the steering committee about general decisions and local priorities. The Advisory Group is scheduled for meetings approx. every three months (depending on project activities and progress – meeting may be more or less frequent). Partner groups consisting of technical staff from the municipalities are divided into four energy segments: building installations, building envelope, street lighting and transport. The groups will assist the project department in analysing the need for external technical assistance and conferences/workshops. The extent will reflect the investment sums in the given segment. The partner groups will have four annual meetings, which the project department will also be attending.

The department will keep a continuous dialogue with these programs to ensure the sharing of knowledge and to optimize the project work and results. 1.6 Client advisor An EU procurement procedure on technical assistance have been initiated in collaboration with the consulting firm Bascon A/S. Initial meetings took place on July 10 th 2014. 1.7 Small-scale tender prior to the EU procurement None of the partnering municipalities has reported a need for technical assistance at this stage. Hence no small-scale tenders have been initiated prior to the EU procurement. 1.8 EU procurement In collaboration with Bascon A/S an estimated time schedule for the procurement process has been established: Table 2: Estimated time schedule, EU procurement September 10 th 2014 Workshop September 11 th – 24 th 2014 Preparation of procurement strategy and draft for procurement notice September 25 th – 30 th 2014 Adjusting comments from Central Denmark Region November 4 th 2014 Submission of procurement notice September 30 th – December 19 th 2014 Preparation of tender documents December 5 th 2014 Deadline for requesting prequalification December 19 th 2014 Announcement for prequalification December 19 th 2014 Submission of tender documents January 19 th 2015 Deadline for submission of questions by the tenderers January 22 nd 2015 Submission of final responses to questions, and supplementing information January 29 th 2014 Tender deadline January 30 th – February 13 th 2014 Tender assessment February 13 th 2014 Announcement to tenders February 14 th – February 23 rd 2014 Standstill period February 24 th 2015 Contracting Central Denmark Region Page 5 of 8 Viborg, November 14th 2014 1.9 Project planning At this stage we haven’t foreseen any changes to the project planning. Hence the objectives in the current timetable are still valid. 2 IDENTIFIED ISSUES Recruitment Completing the EIB-contract in mid-June 2014 the recruitment process began in the middle of the public holiday season in Denmark. Hence job interviews were postponed to late August to ensure qualified labor as well a sufficient number of applications. Consequently most staff members will start on October 1 st or November 1 st 2014. The recruitment process has not been ideal, and therefore the initial two months of the project have been undertaken by the project manager alone. The scope of the reduced labor is currently unknown, but it is not expected to postpone other project activities. With the current employments the expenditures stay within the budget frame.

Though merely whetting our appetites, this taster has confi rmed Denmark’s infl uential contribution to our continent’s cultural wealth. Happily, Denmark’s contribution to the European Union is far more extensive and will, undoubtedly, be in the spotlight throughout the fi rst half of 2012! A modern state, where European and international sea routes converge, Denmark has frequently drawn on its talents and fl ourishing economy to make its own, distinctive mark. It is in tune with the priorities for 2020: competitiveness, social inclusion and the need for ecologically sustainable change.

International Journal of Integrated Care, 16(6):A382, pp. 1-8, DOI: http://doi.org/10.5334/ijic.2930 CONFERENCE ABSTRACT Integrated Care for people who want Alcohol Detoxification in the middle of Denmark th 16 International Conference on Integrated Care, Barcelona 23-25 May 2016 Margrethe Smidth1,2 1: Institute for Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Denmark; 2: Emergency Unit Viborg, The Central Denmark Regional Hospital, Denmark, Introduction: Close to 0.6 million (10.4%) Danes abuse alcohol and of these more than 140.000 people have developed alcohol dependency. Everyday people who want to be detoxified acutely attend the Emergency-Department. Initiatives in the municipalities for acute-care seem scarcely used; this study will investigate how the municipalities’ effort can be utilized in collaboration with other stakeholders in the care-system and how this influences the evaluation of the care. During the detoxification process the blood-alcohol-level is decreasing and it is necessary to observe the patient to ensure that he/she does not develop withdrawal-symptoms. Withdrawal-symptoms must be treated as they can develop to potential life-threatening delirium tremens and detoxification cramps. Left untreated any future withdrawal-symptoms will worsen and thereby increase the risk of future delirium tremens and cramps. Most important though is that the decision to stay sober is easier when one does not have withdrawal-symptoms and thus, the chance of success increases. In Denmark it is usual the GP who is responsible for the medical treatment of people with acute detoxification without any withdrawal-symptoms; when the detoxification is not life- threatening it is a municipal task.

  • Reusing Old Bricks in North Jutland
    From demolition waste to circular construction through partnerships – Reusing old bricks in North Jutland Master’s Thesis – Alessia Santoro Cities and Sustainability (CiSu) Aalborg University https://www.building-supply.dk/article/view/394608/ny_byskole_er_bygget_af_gamle_mursten Preface The present report has been conducted by a student enrolled in the Cities and Sustainability Master’s Program at Aalborg University in Aalborg, Denmark. The author has a study background on construction obtained back in her country, Italy. The report is illustrated in relation to the circular economy system and focuses on the reuse of bricks in Denmark and follows the PBL (Problem Based Learning) approach that is promoted by the university. In this regard, it uses as a study case North Jutland after providing a national analysis of three main concepts i.e. construction waste and management, waste hierarchy and circular economy as well as their connection. Additionally, is used an already redacted LCA to sustain the theories used. Acknowledgments I would like to thank my supervisors Henrik Riisgaard for his support and guidance throughout the process of conducting this report. I believe that without his help the outcome of the present report would have not been appropriate. Additionally, I would like to thank my interviewees: Svend Roed Larse, Claus Juul Nielsen and Kurt Brandi for making the time to talk with me and help me with gathering the relevant information for to reach the outcome of the present report. I would love to dedicate the effort dedicated to write this thesis to my Mom, that I am sure, would be proud of me by seeing me reaching this final stage.

  • Strategic Energy Planning in Denmark at Municipal And
    STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL The Danish government’s long-term vision is that Denmark becomes independent of fossil fuels. Municipalities have the local knowledge that can ensure political anchoring and commitment from citizens and local businesses to the green transition of the energy system and the economy. In their capacity as local planning and land-use authority, as owner of supply and transport companies, and as a major consumer, the municipalities are in a unique position to facilitate change. A program with 3.3 mill. EUR was launched in 2014 to support municipal strategic energy planning, providing a 50% grant for the projects. Strengthening partnerships: Cost-effective transition to green growth: • Vertically – state, region, municipality • Mapping energy efficiency and renewable energy resources • Horizontally – across municipalities • Analysing energy futures and strategic choices • Locally – businesses, supply companies, municipality • Setting targets and action plans • Internally – municipal administrations • Demonstrating green solutions • Democratically – citizens and interest organisations In total, 14 partnership projects for strategic energy planning were initiated with each their unique partnership structure and with each their individual energy perspective. The support program aimed at demonstrating different types of partnerships and tackle different aspects of a cost-effective transition to green growth. The 14 projects include 6 regional projects (in the five Danish regions) and 8 projects involving a smaller number of municipalities.
