----------English version of previous post   And another business sector! The space industry is leading the way in integrating environmental considerations. Many challenges are on the agenda, including major issues such as space pollution and the danger of space debris and systems re-entering the atmosphere.   R&T challenges are one-off calls for ideas organised to complement the CNES R&T system on technical subjects of interest. The aim of these challenges is to stimulate the emergence of innovative solutions for the space sector, with an opening to new players, whose development can be pursued via Research and Technology.   "Taking environmental issues into account is crucial. Through this challenge, CNES aims to give a new momentum to innovative solutions that will drastically reduce the environmental impact of the design, development and operation of space systems. As this is an issue common to both orbital systems and space transportation, this challenge is being co-organised for the first time by these two teams working to prepare for the future. We should also highlight the substantial budget allocated by CNES, which is commensurate with the challenges and ambitions in this area", say Céline Angélélis, Deputy Director for the Preparation of the Future of Orbital Systems and Ursula Aniakou, Deputy Director for Future Projects and Innovation in Space Transport Systems.   A congratulations to Airbus Defense & Space, Thales Alenia Space, Mecano-ID and IRT Saint Exupéry who are entering into a contract with CNES to start their developments to face the current climatic and environmental challenges.   Bamboo will soon be taking its first trip into space 😉   #space #sustainability #pollution #BambooisGrowing #1000solutions              https://lnkd.in/eJ5eST3V

Green Mobility: 11 projects funded by the European Commission and Groupe Caisse des Dépôts in France thanks to blending! 👏 👉 Blending allows for the combination of European subsidies (AFIF instrument under CEF program) and financing from Banque des Territoires, to support the greening of transport infrastructure. 52 M€ of AFIF subsidies and 56M€ of Banque des territoires financing will fund: 🚍 2 projects for the electrification of bus depots in Lyon and Marseille, 🏭 4 projects for hydrogen refueling stations 🛫 5 projects for the electrification of airport ground operations! We are proud to be able to support these projects and contribute to European and French objectives in terms of green transition, as implementing partner of the European Commission!

I participated this week in a meeting of the COMENA project (Commons in Nouvelle-Aquitaine 🇫🇷), an opportunity to gain a better understanding of some of the project's ambitions in its work to reference commons. Project website (french only): https://comena.net/ The aim is to build a platform to gather commons and open resources, with around 50 elements for now. From software to database or movie, with resources like Wikipedia, Open Street Map or Open Food Facts, with resources originating in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region or on a national or international scale. This is part of the ecological transition strategy of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, to work around axis like natural resources, agriculture/alimentation or mobility, done in collaboration with the regional cluster of open software actors Nouvelle-Aquitaine Open Source (NAOS). Without speaking of awesome lists, as the explorability of open resources remains limited we're witnessing the emergence of these commons directories for different types of motivations or resources, like the French Interministerial Free Software Catalog [https://code.gouv.fr/sill/] or the Infra Finder [https://lnkd.in/dzyaUqkk] powered by Invest in Open Infrastructure. We were able to talk to see the vision around COMENA, if they consider it anchored specifically in the region or with a desire to go beyond it, as others may have an interest in this type of tool. There is some desire to replicate the model and build a network, to open up governance, to interact with other common databases and to make it a more global project. Launched a few months ago, COMENA could be an intermediate step. Today, neither the code nor the database used by COMENA are openly available. A subject that was raised during the discussion which could encourage the reproductibility of this type of approach and the interaction with different databases according to the needs of this kind of projects. I wonder whether this type of commons portal could be of interest at the level of an organisation, such as a university, for example, to make available (open) resources useful for research or education. A space for facilitating work of organisation members by making available the tools used, for showing the organisation's tools to the outside world, and even as a means of promoting resources created in-house in order to collaborate with the outside world. With the democratisation of open models, what types of search mechanisms are needed to explore open resources and digital commons? P.S.: I would love to share you (links to) meeting report(s), but openness is not always a natural reflex for those involved in openness, too much personal data and lack of source file 😢 Lola Le Formal if it's of any interest to you to know that we can't communicate these created resources publicly if we want, a possible area of improvement useful to open up governance through a more open communication !

Social protection expenditure, rightly, attracts a lot of attention. A complementary perspective on social protection concerns its adequacy: how well do benefits cover needs. Expressing minimum social security and social assistance allowances as a percentage of the poverty threshold offers a view on the adequacy of the social protection floor. This week our annual update of the evolution of the minima in terms of the poverty threshold was published. The results show a significant improvement over the last years for all minima , be it with some differences between the allowances. Simulation results show this had a clear impact on the poverty risks for beneficiaries and on the poverty gap. Notwithstanding the improvements most minima remain below the threshold, with social assistance for the active population, allowances for persons with a disability and unemployment benefits remaining the furthest below the threshold.
