> Asia URBS programme - call for proposals from European Commission
> Subject: Coordination, Cooperation
> The European Commission has published a call for proposals for cooperative
> projects involving local authorities from the EU and countries in south
> and south-east Asia, under the Asia URBS programme. The aim is to
> encourage development cooperation at the level of cities, towns and local
> government.
> The programme will support projects of a socio-economic nature designed to
> address urban problems, essentially in any field under the responsibility
> of the local authorities concerned. Features of projects may include
> tackling problems common to several Asian cities, innovative and
> demonstrative nature of the proposals, exchange of experience and the
> involvement of social and economic groups and organisations representing
> local community interests.
> Themes covered by the programme will include urban management, urban
> development in fields such as equality and poverty alleviation, urban
> environment, waste and water management, and social infrastructure. The
> Asian countries eligible to participate are Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei
> Darussalam, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic,
> Malaysia, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka,
> Thailand and Vietnam.
> In general, projects should involve at least two local governments in
> Europe and one in Asia. Any project should not usually involve more than
> five partners.
> Support may be granted for two types of projects. Proposals which are at
> an advanced state of planning may receive support up to a maximum of ECU
> 500,000 or 65% of the total cost of the project. Less advanced proposals
> may receive funding for a preliminary study, lasting not more than six
> months, up to a maximum of
> ECU 15,000 (or 65% of the costs).

> Taihu Basin ECO Investment via Technical and Financial Cooperation
> The Centre for Environmentally Sound Technology Transfer is currently
> promoting EST for Taihu basin. Taihu Basin is highly industrialized, as
> one of China's fastest developing areas of the 'Yangzi' delta region.
> Rapid development has resulted in severe environmental contamination and
> the authorities have worked out an Overall Workplan in 4 stages to
> rectifiy the problem. These stages are:
> 1. ECO Investment & Technology Promotion and Capacity Building
> 2. Industrial Co-operation / Partnership
> 3. Business Conditions / Opportunities
> 4. Business Discussions on Investment and Materialisation of Industrial
> Partnerships.
> There will be a 'ECO Investment & Technology Promotion Forum' in April
> 1999, Shanghai China
> Major project partners are UNIDO, UNDP-Beijing, Ministry of Science and
> Technology in China, CICETE, ACCA21 and CESTT with local governments.
> Twenty copies of the fact sheets on Taihu Basin are available for
> companies interested to explore possible business consultation services.

> Code 499
> Promoting scientific and technical cooperation with India
> The European Commission, DG IB, is currently inviting the submission of
> applications for participation in two restricted invitations to tender for
> the stimulation of joint research and development activities with India.
> The first study will involve the collection and evaluation of data on the
> degradation and over-exploitation of coastal ecosystems in India. In
> particular the study will exploit the potential of integrated
> environmental information systems and their components, such as simulation
> models, geographic information systems (GIS), multi-criteria decision
> analysis, socio-economic impact on densely populated areas, and
> sustainability.
> The aim of the preparatory collection of data is to use it to predict and
> evaluate the magnitude and significance of human activities on the aquatic
> ecosystem of the coastal zone. Interdisciplinary research activities aim,
> through an intensive study of a representative sample of locations, at
> identifying the key variables affecting the use of coastal resources, the
> policy options, and the information and training requirements associated
> with decision-making instruments necessary for effective management.
> The second study to be carried out will involve the definition of an
> integrated system for the proper use of bio-energy technologies to satisfy
> the needs of a village. This would require knowledge in areas such as
> small bio-energy complexes, mathematical modelling, economic analyses,
> education and vocational training, and energy policy and investment in
> India and Europe.
> The successful contractors will provide specialists who will work jointly
> with Indian staff to execute joint analysis on the data collected, as well
> as to disseminate the research findings.
> Remarks :
> The final date for the receipt of applications for the pre-selection is 27
> October 1998.

> Contaminated Minewater Treatment
> UK company offering products in monitoring suspended solids and turbidity,
> and sludge blanket detector is assessing Asia market for distributors
> (there are currently two distributors in Singapore).
> The company is also interested in hearing from companies in China,
> Thailand and Indonesia.

> personnel to be alerted to high levels of suspended solids in the water. A
> continuous 24-hour on-line measurement of suspended solids using the
> Turbi-Tech 2000 in conjunction with 7100 for monitoring of effluent
> discharges. Remote locations are accessible with the use of telemetry
> system to transmit the 4-20mA signal to the Environment Agency
> Communications Room. The Turbi-Tech 2000 has a unique self-cleaning
> principle that allows the equipment to operate continuously and
> effectively without the need for operator intervention.

> Code 501
> Software on Nature Conservation
> A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was inked between Mimos Bhd of
> Malaysia and the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) of
> Malaysia, in which both agencies would work together to develop
> post-production, multimedia and local software products on nature and
> wildlife conservation in Malaysia. This would include product developments
> like customised software for wildlife conservation, 'infokiosks' at
> important locations in tourist centers, bird sanctuaries and national
> parks, interactive compact disks (CDs) and a video series on conservation
> and wildlife in Malaysia.
> As per the agreement, both parties would also focus on exchange of
> expertise, provision of training and facilities, identifying and
> undertaking IT projects together, establishing a multimedia standard on
> conservation and creating IT-based products to educate and increase
> awareness of the public on wildlife conservation. An interactive CD on
> flora, fauna, birds and endangered species is to be launched by the end of
> 1998. The information technology (IT) based materials hope to increase the
> awareness of the Malaysian public on nature and wildlife conservation.
