  • GMES Has Come a Long Way, but There Is Still So Much to Do!
    Editorial GMES has come a long way, but there is still so much to do! his past year has undoubtedly seen an impressive amount of progress in and around T the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security initiative. Looking back at the history of this flagship initiative of the EU, it seems, in fact, that never has so much been achieved in so little time. There are two reasons for this. Firstly GMES has reached a level of maturity that brings it closer, by the day, to full-scale operational deployment. In addi- tion, the political and institutional momentum of the initiative has dramatically accelerated, as a result of efforts by the fathers of GMES, the European Commission and the European Space Agency, as well as extra political impetus from the French Presidency of the EU in the second semester of 2008. This issue of Window on GMES testifies how very busy and fruitful the past year has been for GMES: • The Lille GMES Forum 2008 demonstrated that the initiative has indeed – and on many counts – moved out of the Research & Development universe into pre-operational sta- tus, as demonstrated by real-life examples of products and services already being used, albeit sometimes on a pilot basis, by real-life users; • The institutional framework upon which the GMES initiative will evolve into a full European programme has been sketched in more detail than ever before by the European Commission and the Member States; • The political visibility of GMES has reached an unprecedented level and awareness of the initiative is growing; • The financing

Credit required. Cover photo by Hugues de BUYER-MIMEURE on Unsplash. The Observatory’s Mission To contribute to a Europe where Christians may fully exercise their fundamental rights to freedom of religion, conscience, expression, and association, without fear of reprisals, censorship, threats, or violence. Who we are The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians is a registered non- governmental organization in Austria and a member of the Fundamental Rights Platform of the EU-Fundamental Rights Agency. What we do » Research, analyze, document, and report cases of intolerance and discrimination against Christians in Europe; » Inform and educate the public, lawmakers, and international institutions about the range of hostilities and marginalization Christians and Christian institutions face in Europe by providing reliable and objective data; » Empower Christians to tell their stories and freely live their faith in the public square; » Advocate for remedies; and » Emphasize the vital role religion plays in a mature and peaceful society. The Observatory’s task is to analyze the situation for Christians in Europe. We do so not in order to compare or diminish the persecution they experience in other parts of the world, but to stay vigilant in the protection of human rights. Our work aims at encouraging victims of intolerance and discrimination to tell their stories, and to raise awareness among all people of good will that the phenomenon ought to be taken seriously and is in need of a common response.

  • Fronts Et Frontières Des Sciences Du Territoire Frontiers and Boundaries of Territorial Sciences
    27-28 mars 2014 Université Paris Diderot 2e colloque international Fronts et frontières des sciences du territoire Frontiers and boundaries of territorial sciences PROCEEDINGS Organisé par GIS Collège international des sciences du territoire www.gis-cist.fr Partenaires fondateurs Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Université Paris Diderot, CNRS Partenaires institutionnels ADEME, DATAR, IAU îdF, INED, IDR Cofinancé par la ville de Paris dans le cadre du dispositif Colloques internationaux à Paris © Collège international des sciences du territoires, février 2014 Imprimé en france Préambule Ce recueil réunit les 60 propositions de communication qui ont été retenues pour le 2e colloque international du CIST (27 et 28 mars 2014). Ces propositions, qui prennent ici la forme d’un texte court, donnent un aperçu des présentations orales et préfigurent es publications à venir. Elles répondent aux objectifs du CIST et plus largement à des questionnements théoriques nouveaux amorcés depuis quelques temps par le « spatial turn » dans lequel les sciences sociales se sont engagées. Ces contributions appro- fondissent les pistes de recherche lancées lors du 1er colloque du CIST « Fonder les sciences du territoire », qui s’est tenu en 2011. De nouveaux moyens techniques (bases de données, cartographie, analyse des flux RSS, analyses textuelles, bibliométrie, image- rie, etc.) ouvrent de nouveaux espaces de réflexion et contribuent à mieux répondre à une demande sociale en quête d’instruments plus fins d’analyse des territoires au service de politiques publiques mieux ciblées. Le CIST entre à présent dans sa quatrième année d’existence. Il réunit aujourd’hui 21 équipes et plus de 400 chercheurs qui interrogent par des regards croisés le territoire.
