The GETS project is an European research project on
the application of Geomorphology and Environmental impact assessment to
Transportation Systems. The project started in 1998 and ended November 2001.
The project was funded by the Training and Mobility of Researchers Program.
Four case studies in different European settings resulted in spatial databases
on which advanced simulations and prediction models are applied, concerning
among others floods, landslides and avalanches. Both the databases and the
methods have to be communicated and made widely available to European
researchers and local administrations involved in environmental management. The
GETS website contains an extensive presentation of research results and access
to metadata and resources, including a web mapping section.

The Institute for
Development Policy and Management (IDPM) at the
to continue work on the impact trade negotiation may have on sustainable
development. Phase I and II of this
research has been completed. These
phases resulted in the development of a methodology for carrying out a
sustainable impact assessment. This methodology was then used to make a
broad qualitative assessment of the sustainability impact of the New Round
of trade negotiations. The current study is refining this methodology and
engaging in broad consultations and knowledge network formation.
Analytical Strategic
Environmental Assessment (ANSEA)
The Analytical Strategic Environmental Assessment (ANSEA) is an effort
to define a logically founded methodology for Strategic Environmental
Assessment (SEA) of policies, plans and programmes (PPP). In charge of the
project is a consortium of eight institutions covering seven European
countries.
The ANSEA project is a research project financed under the 5th Framework
Research Programme of the European Union. The ANSEA project aims to provide an
enhanced theoretical and methodological background for Strategic Environmental
Assessment (SEA) and to provide a framework for assisting in the implementation
of European and national directives and procedural requirements in this area.
The overall objective of the ANSEA
project is to develop an approach and framework for SEA that ensures a sound
integration of the environment into decision-making processes at the strategic
level, i.e. in the formulation of policies, plans and programmes. To achieve
this, the project has three main objectives. The first objective is to develop
a sound theoretical basis for SEA as a discussion platform for the ANSEA
framework. A book will be produced on the theoretical concepts and framework
for an Analytical Strategic Environmental Assessment methodology.
Dissemination activities are to be
carried out to reach the both the scientific audience and the main users in
public administrations. In addition to publishing the reports mentioned, a
public symposium on the results will be organized, and a web page on ANSEA is
set up.
The site offers a number of case
studies highlighting the work of ANSEA. The first study deals with regional
waste managing, with the aim of adapting the regional regulation to the
European and national ones. The plan is meant to: reduce waste and hazardous
waste production, reduce the use of damps as final waste disposal, improve
waste material recycling, minimise environmental impacts. Within the plan a
methodology has been developed to assess plan alternatives through a set of
environmental and socio-economic indicators.
The site also offers a wide variety
of links, numerous publications, a complete glossary of all the important
terms, project phases, meeting schedules and important hypotheses in the field
of SEA.
