    Science and Innovation Management A regional event analysis of electric vehicle technology development in the Netherlands Master thesis Utrecht, June 2010 30 ECTS Coach: dr. J.C.M. Farla [email protected] Student: ing. M.J. de Vries [email protected] 3126617 1 Science and Innovation Management A regional event analysis of electric vehicle technology development in the Netherlands Marijn J. de Vries June 2010 Abstract For the past 20 years battery electric transportation has frequently been assessed as the most desirable alternative for internal combustion driven cars. However widespread adoption has not yet been established. In this paper we studied the development trajectory of battery electric technology in the Netherlands using the “Functions of Innovation Systems” framework. Additionally a regional scope has been incorporated with which the effects of local policy and spatial proximity on BEV adoption in the Netherlands has been made more clear. Our research identifies three distinct periods starting with increased attention until 1999 followed by a strong decline. Since 2006, however, the technology is making a strong come-back. BEV adoption in the Netherlands seems largely dependent on foreign developments, which proved out to be more difficult to analyze using the functions of innovation systems framework. Combining a regional scope with the function approach, however, was relatively easy to accomplish. A strong influence of regional activities on the national TIS, was however, not found. 1. Introduction Rising oil prices, growing dependency on a few suppliers and concerns regarding the environmental effects of carbon dioxide emissions (EU, 2008) have increased the search for alternatives for cars powered by means of oil based hydrocarbons.

    Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam 2006 Was a Year of Transition For

    Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam 2006 was a year of transition for Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam. As of 1 January, curator Martijn van Nieuwenhuyzen was succeeded by Jelle Bouwhuis, previously spokesman of the Stedelijk Museum and compiler of the lecture and activities programme ‘SMCS on 11’. SMBA had a number of commitments to fulfill from the previous year and had to deal with some unfinished tasks of the Stedelijk Museum. For this reason, SMBA took over the job of advising Postivisme from the Mother Museum. Postivisme is an organisation which commissions artists to produce works for the video screens of Club 11 in the Post CS building. In 2006, this resulted in three new video projects by Amsterdam artists. Also during the year, the successful lecture series Right About Now (organised by SMBA and W139 in partnership with the University of Utrecht, the Stedelijk Museum and the Mondriaan Stichting) culminated in six evening lectures. The project by Chris Evans (which had already been planned) consisting of a presentation in SMBA followed by a temporary ‘artists residence’ on location in Westpoort, played an important role for the entire duration of the year. Eventually, the exhibition was taken over by International Project Space in Birmingham. After being shown in SMBA, a slightly changed version of the group exhibition ‘We All Laughed at Christopher Columbus’, organised by guest curators Krist Gruijthuijsen and November Paynter, travelled on to Platform Garanti in Istanbul. This provided an international platform for, among others, the two Amsterdam based artists contributing to the exhibition. Equally important was the establishment of a new artist in residence programme (next to BijlmAIR) with a view to strengthening the international quality level of SMBA.

Box 3640, 76021 Karlsruhe, Germany HIGHLIGHTS • This paper broadens current conceptualizations of energy justice for smart grids. • The study explores values in the public debates on smart grids in two countries. • Value conflicts show the importance of distributive and procedural justice. • It is debated if the systems lead to more equity or reinforce injustices. • Energy justice needs to be broadened to include data privacy and security issues. ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Smart grid systems are considered as key enablers in the transition to more sustainable energy systems. However, Smart grid systems debates reflect concerns that they affect social and moral values such as privacy and justice. The energy justice Energy justice framework has been proposed as a lens to evaluate social and moral aspects of changes in energy systems. This Sustainability paper seeks to investigate this proposition for smart grid systems by exploring the public debates in the Values Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Findings show that smart grids have the potential to effectively address Public debate justice issues, for example by facilitating small-scale electricity generation and transparent and reliable billing.

    Mediahuis Acquires Luxembourg Media Group Saint- Paul Luxembourg

    PRESS RELEASE Mediahuis acquires Luxembourg media group Saint- Paul Luxembourg Luxembourg/Antwerp, 27 April 2020 - Mediahuis NV, with operations in Belgium, the Netherlands and Ireland, has just acquired all the shares of media group Saint-Paul Luxembourg SA. The acquisition by Mediahuis will enable Luxembourg's largest media group to accelerate the digital transformation of its brands and organisation. Lafayette SA, manager of the economic assets of the Archdiocese of Luxembourg and parent company behind the media group Saint-Paul Luxembourg, has reached agreement with Mediahuis on the acquisition of the Luxembourg media group. Saint-Paul Luxembourg publishes the titles "Luxembourg Times", "Télécran", "Contacto" and, of course, Luxembourg's oldest newspaper, "Luxemburger Wort", which is the clear market leader and reaches more than 150,000 readers every day in print and more than 100,000 readers through its news site www.wort.lu. The acquisition by Mediahuis will enable Saint-Paul Luxembourg to speed up its digital transformation project and to develop new products and services while making full use of the expertise and scale offered by Mediahuis as a group. For Mediahuis this acquisition means a geographical expansion into the prosperous and dynamic region of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and a strengthening of its position as a leading media player in the Benelux countries and Ireland. Lafayette, hitherto the main shareholder in Saint-Paul Luxembourg, remains involved in the further development of the group through a minority stake in Mediahuis. The further development and digital transition of the Luxembourg media group will take place in close cooperation with the current management of Saint-Paul Luxembourg and will build on the talent of its employees.
