Il successo
delle PMI nei progetti di ricerca dell'UE
Quali sono i fattori di rendimento che
rafforzano la partecipazione delle piccole e medie imprese (PMI) nei settori
della sanità e della biotecnologia? Sta cercando di scoprirli il progetto
KAPPA-Health ("Key performance factor assessment and valorisation for successful
EU-FP project participation of innovation SMEs in the area of health").
KAPPA-Health ha ricevuto un finanziamento di 750.000 euro attraverso il tema
"Salute" del Settimo programma quadro (7° PQ) dell'Unione europea.
I ricercatori hanno compiuto grandi progressi nei campi delle biotecnologie, le
tecnologie mediche e la bioingegneria, che a loro volta hanno contribuito a
rafforzare il settore della ricerca medica. Tuttavia, ci sono una serie di
ostacoli da superare quando si tenta di immettere nel mercato prodotti e servizi
sanitari. Gli imprenditori possono anche essere favorevolmente disposti a
commercializzare le loro invenzioni, ma un unico fattore cruciale ne determinerà
il successo commerciale: il finanziamento.
Le biotecnologie sanitarie sono il più delle volte determinate dal caso, perché
lo sviluppo dei prodotti in realtà può durare oltre un decennio prima che essi
facciano la loro comparsa sugli scaffali. Le imprese hanno bisogno di
finanziamenti esterni per lunghi periodi per poter garantire la loro attività di
ricerca e sviluppo di alta qualità.
Il sesto e settimo programma quadro(rispettivamente 6° PQ e 7° PQ) dell'Unione
europea sono validi strumenti per fornire il necessario supporto finanziario a
tali imprese. Se si chiede alle PMI se ritengono che la loro partecipazione ai
progetti finanziati dall'UE sia stato un successo, il 90% darà una risposta
positiva. La metà di queste piccole e medie imprese hanno già ottenuto un
ritorno commerciale.

Erasmus
for Young Entrepreneurs” to boost creation of small enterprises
- Are you thinking about setting up your own business or are you already a
successful entrepreneur? The Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs
exchange
scheme
offers an excellent opportunity for new entrepreneurs to acquire relevant skills
for managing a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME). The new entrepreneurs
will learn how to manage an SME as well as getting familiar with the business
environment in another EU country by working with an experienced entrepreneur.
“Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs” was launched by the European Commission in
February 2009.

AIRMEX
cautions
indoor pollutants are too high
EU-funded research shows that many harmful air
pollutants make their presence known more
indoors than outdoors. AIRMEX (the 'European
Indoor Air Monitoring and Exposure Assessment
Project') investigated indoor air quality and
personal exposure concentration by measuring 19
volatile organic compounds in indoor air, such
as carbonyls, terpenoids and aromatics, in
public buildings and kindergartens in a number
of cities across Europe. AIRMEX is funded under
the EU's Joint Research Centre (JRC).
Improved
health is a priority for the EU, and this is
outlined in the European Environment and Health
Action Plan 2004–2010 which focuses on
determining what impact environmental damage has
on human health. This action plan will give the
EU the information it needs to forge stronger
collaboration between stakeholders in the
environment, health and research fields.
The AIRMEX partners found that personal exposure
concentrations to harmful pollutants —
especially formaldehyde and benzene — are for
the most part higher than the respective
indoor/outdoor concentrations.
Their research also showed that 40% of the
personal exposure concentrations, 30% of the
indoor concentrations and 25% of the outdoor
concentrations topped the ambient air limit
value established by the Commission for 2010
under Directive 2000/69/EC for benzene. The
researchers carried out personal exposure
measurements with employees and teachers in
their respective working environments.
According to the researchers, these values are
above health benchmarks. The outdoor
concentration measurements single-handedly
underestimate the health risks from human
exposure to the values in the long run.
The researchers evaluated how human lung cells
are affected by the mixtures of chemicals. Based
on their data, the chemical compounds interact
and their impact on human health is contingent
on the presence of other chemicals. On the whole,
the results indicate that the multiple effects
of indoor air pollutants depend on other
components that affect people, including stress,
gender and genetic background.
Ultimately, the AIRMEX project identified and
quantified the main air pollutants in various
areas and identified the main sources of these
pollutants. It estimated human exposure and
assessed how human health that is exposed to
these pollutants is affected, in particular the
well-being of children.
The researchers performed analyses in Athens and
Thessaloniki (Greece), Leipzig (Germany),
Catania and Milan (Italy), Brussels (Belgium),
Nicosia (Cyprus) and Arnhem and Nijmegen (the
Netherlands).

Business solution case

When you are trying to introduce
a new system you will always come across issues that you think
may be impossible to get around. It is important that you
realise that your organisation is not the first to undertake the
change and may very well not be the first to experience this
particular problem.
