H2020 projects and EU research needs for nature-based adaptation solutions

A Simulation-Based Optimization Model for Scheduling New Product Development Projects in Research and Development Centers

a simulation-based optimization approach for the purpose of finding a near-optimal answer can be efficient and effective. In the present paper, first, the mathematical model for the project activity scheduling problem has been presented with a job shop approach. Then, using the Arena 14 software, the simulation model has been designed. Consequently, a numerical example has been solved via runni...

An Evaluation Framework for EU Research and Development e-Health Projects' Systems

Over the past years it has become evident that an evaluation system was necessary for the European Research and Competitive funded projects which are large and complex structures needing constant monitoring. This is especially so for e-Health projects. The race to complete assignments means that this area is usually neglected. A proposed framework for the evaluation of R & D project systems usi...

Nature-based solutions to climate change mitigation and adaptation in urban areas

EU Projects Workshop Report on Systems

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Systems Biology (SB) is a rapidly developing scientific discipline that has already led to important advances in understanding biology and in developing medicines and their use for improving human health. SB is also an approach to explaining, predicting and controlling the complex cellular and physiological phenomena of living organisms in terms of the underlying chemical and ...

More than Nature Needs

1870. United Kingdom. Scenes from a divorce. Alfred Russel Wallace, the coinventor with Darwin of the theory of evolution through natural selection, completely captivated by the melodious song of the sirens hailing spiritualism landed definitively on the controversial shores of the treason. In effect, with his essay The Limits of Natural Selection as Applied to Man, Wallace turned his back on t...
