  • Wetenschappelijk Verslag 2005-2007
    Onderzoekschool Ius Commune Wetenschappelijk verslag 2005-2007 VERANTWOORDING A. ALGEMEEN In dit wetenschappelijk verslag van de Onderzoeksschool Ius Commune is de productie over de jaren 2005, 2006 en 2007 opgenomen. De verslaglegging vindt hier plaats per subprogramma. Achtereenvolgens zijn dat de program- ma's: Algemeen verbintenissen- en contractenrecht; Europees personen-, fami- lie- en erfrecht; Goederenrecht; Aansprakelijkheid en verzekering; Grensover- schrijdend milieurecht; Rechtspersonen in Europa; Grondslagen en beginselen van burgerlijk procesrecht in Europa; Publiekrechtelijke rechtsvergelijking; Constitutionele processen in Europa en Constitutionele processen in de interna- tionale rechtsorde. De aan de Onderzoeksschool verbonden geassocieerde (deel)programma’s Fis- cale vraagstukken in de interne markt en Intellectuele eigendom zijn eveneens opgenomen in dit verslag. B. UITGANGSPUNTEN VOOR VERSLAGLEGGING I. Algemeen In dit verslag wordt onderscheid gemaakt tussen proefschriften, wetenschappe- lijke publicaties, vakpublicaties en annotaties. Het gehanteerde onderscheid is gebaseerd op de door de VSNU in haar Protocol 1998 ontwikkelde criteria voor beoordeling van het wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Bij de overzichten van publi- caties is afgezien van het opnemen van een rubriek ‘Overige producten van we- tenschappelijke activiteiten’ (redacteurschappen, lezingen, gastcolleges, etc.). Annotaties – geen officiële categorie binnen genoemde indeling – zijn groten- deels apart opgenomen. Sommige annotaties in met name enkele Belgische tijdschriften hebben echter een omvang en kwaliteit die opneming in de catego- rie ‘wetenschappelijke publicatie’ rechtvaardigen. Publicaties die volgens de VSNU-normen niet anders dan als vakpublicatie kunnen worden gekwalifi- ceerd (o.a. bijdragen aan losbladige uitgaven, aan praktijkuitgaven, etc.) wor- den als zodanig aangeduid. Volgens de VSNU-criteria wordt een publicatie als wetenschappelijk aange- merkt wanneer deze voldoet aan het criterium ‘increasing the body of academic knowledge’.

  • Report on Care of Migrants
    REPORT ON CARE OF MIGRANTS I1 REPORT ON THE PASTORAL CARE OF MIGRANTS IN EUROPE IN 2017 THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF MILAN AND MIGRANTS & REFUGEES SECTION DICASTERY FOR PROMOTING INTEGRAL HUMAN DEVELOPMENT This report provides the results of a pilot study realised within the frame- work of a cooperation agreement signed between the Migrants and Refu- gees Section of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development and the Catholic University of Milan, aimed at providing the First Report on the Pastoral Care of Migrants in Europe1. It is composed by two sections. The first one provides a tentative map- ping of the initiatives realised by Catholic organizations and institutions all around Europe; the second one offers a collection of good practices cov- ering the four “verbs” suggested by Pope Francis in his Message for the 104th World Day of Migrants and Refugees 2018: to Welcome, to Protect, to Promote, and to Integrate. The first part of the report – Quantitative Analysis – provides the results of a survey aimed to identify, classify and describe all the pastoral activities implemented in 2017 by the Catholic Church in the 39 countries members of the Council of the Bishops’ Conference of Europe. Data emerged from a questionnaire sent to all the Episcopal Conferences (and to various catholic organizations) are presented and discussed, along with some recommen- dations and suggestions. The second part – Qualitative Analysis – offers a collection of 23 Good Prac- tices (GPs), selected in order to cover a wide range of European countries and to obtain a sample composed of at least five GPs for each of the four “verbs” proposed by Pope Francis.

  • Belgium's Energy Future
    Horizon 238 - https://horizon238.org/ [email protected] Mr. Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, 16, rue de la Loi, 1000 Brussels Subject: Belgium’s energy future Mr. Prime Minister, We are writing to you as Belgian citizens, concerned about preserving a prosperous and sustainable world for future generations, and worried about Belgium's current energy trajectory. Our country is about to make a decision that will irreversibly shape its energy landscape for decades to come, and which will undoubtedly become one of the most significant chapter of your government’s legacy. It is therefore essential for the issues at stake and their consequences to be fully grasped. Energy is more than a monthly bill. It is the foundation of our society and the cornerstone of our economy. Its abundance led to our current quality of life, emancipated our society, and shaped the world as we know it today. Limiting the environmental impact of the energy we consume in a sustainable energy transition is an immeasurable challenge: CO2 emissions need to be reduced by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990, and carbon neutrality must be achieved by 2050. The IPCC made it clear in its sixth assessment report1 published in early August: it is code red for humanity. We, Belgian citizens, emitted 90 million tons of CO2 in 20192. This number has not changed over the last five years. To achieve this, our dependence on fossil fuels must come to end. Fossil fuels still accounted for more than 80% of Belgium's total energy consumption in 20193. Yet the climate priority dictates the need to leave fossil fuels in the ground and to use alternative low-carbon energy sources: renewables are an option for sure; and so is nuclear energy.

At the same time there was a gradual transfer of responsibilities to the regions which, among others, gained responsibility for rational energy use and renewable energy.

It carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among twenty-six of the OECD’s thirty member countries. The basic aims of the IEA are: • to maintain and improve systems for coping with oil supply disruptions; • to promote rational energy policies in a global context through co-operative relations with non-member countries, industry and international organisations; • to operate a permanent information system on the international oil market; • to improve the world’s energy supply and demand structure by developing alternative energy sources and increasing the efficiency of energy use; • to assist in the integration of environmental and energy policies. The IEA member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States.

  • Direct Utilization of Geothermal Energy 2010 Worldwide Review
    Proceedings World Geothermal Congress 2010 Bali, Indonesia, 25-29 April 2010 Direct Utilization of Geothermal Energy 2010 Worldwide Review John W. Lund1, Derek H. Freeston2, Tonya L. Boyd1 1Geo-Heat Center, Oregon Institute of Technology, Klamath Falls, Oregon, USA 2Geothermal Institute, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand [email protected] Keywords: direct use, spas, balneology, space heating, based on country update papers submitted for the World district heating, aquaculture, greenhouses, ground-source Geothermal Congress 2010 (WGC2010) and covers the heat pumps, agricultural drying, industrial applications, period 2005 to 2009. Papers from 70 countries have been snow melting, energy savings received, 66 of which reported some geothermal direct-use with 12 additional countries added from other sources for a ABSTRACT total of 78 countries – an increase of six countries from WGC2005 (Bosnia & Herzegovina, El Salvador, Estonia, The worldwide application of geothermal energy for direct Morocco, South Africa and Tajikistan). In the case where utilization is reviewed. This paper attempts to update the data are missing or incomplete, the authors have relied on previous survey carried out in 2005, presented at the World country update reports from the World Geothermal Geothermal Congress 2005 (WGC2005) in Turkey and Congresses of 1995, 2000 and 2005 (WGC95, WGC2000, subsequently updated in Geothermics (vol. 34) (Lund, WGC2005), as well as from two Geothermics publications Freeston and Boyd, 2005). This update also compares data (Lund and Freeston, 2001, and Lund et al., 2005), and from 1995 and 2000 presented at two World Geothermal personal communications. Data from WGC2010 are also Congresses in Italy and Japan (WGC95 and WGC2000).
