PURE COSMOS – Public authorities Role Enhancing Competitiveness of SMEs – is one of the 64 successful applications in the first call for proposals of Interreg Europe Programme. The interregional cooperation project focuses on the role public authorities can play in enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs by making the business climate more transparent and reliable, supporting the needs of SMEs and promoting administrative modernisation of public services.

PURE COSMOS aims to support the growth and development of SMEs by improving of the effectiveness of public-sector support and decreasing the administrative burden through selected policy instruments.

Regional policies will be improved through the involvement of stakeholders and regional experts to share common solutions, identify innovative new projects and enhance governance. This will be done by analysing partners’ plans through Peer Reviews and identifying good practices that will improve these plans, exploring them further through studying them through study visits and importing them via special workshops and regional action plans.

It is expected that the project will advance services for SMEs, such as e-payment tools, one stop shop, “digital by default” models, and digital-skill support. Governance will be also improved through IT administrative solutions, regional legislation review, simplifying and launching of new business calls.

Women with disabilities have more difficulties to find an employment and to integrate in social day life activities than men with disabilities. In recent years, different world and European organizations have produced reports on disability to provide the evidence for innovative policies and programmes that can improve the lives of people with disabilities, and facilitate implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with (2008). This landmark international treaty reinforced our understanding of disability as a human right and development priority.

RISEWISE project focuses on the collective of women with disabilities from different perspectives, trying to identify needs and best practices in several EU countries, representing different cultural and socio-economic environments, for the integration and improvement of their quality of life in several environments from the point of view of different disciplines, among which there is accessibility to technology, assistive technology and barriers to women with disability together with technology improvement in general.

LIFE 12/ENV/IT 001058 Weeenmodels has provided new solutions to citizens and sector operators alike, in order to com­ply with legal requirements, to make the WEEE (Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment) collection system more efficient and to achieve the collection target required by law and re-use. The proper disposal of WEEE, through the implementation of a better collection system,  can improve  health and the environment.

ClairCity (Citizen-Led Air pollution Reduction in Cities) is an important research project of Horizon 2020 program, that is developed in six pilot cities Amsterdam (NL), Bristol (UK), Lubiana (SI), Sosnowiec (PO), Aveiro Region (PT) e Liguria Regione (IT)- in which citizen will be involved through questionaries, a game, an application on mobile phone, citizen events, school competition and local workshop.

In own uniqueness, the project open to citizen the possibility of understanding  and taking part in defining the best local solution for good air quality and health effects, helping to reduce pollution with their habits and lifestyles. Although the effects of poor air quality also have a worldwide impact, causes generally reside locally. Daily pollution is caused by traffic due to job and leisure travel, domestic heating as well as industries and activities in the area.

So local solutions can make a big difference even in a city like Genoa.
The results obtained can be adapted to other European cities as well.
