Formålet med dette projekt er at undersøge mulighederne for en omstilling af rejse- og ferielivet i en mere klimavenlig og bæredygtig retning og derigennem også bidrage til en sådan omstilling – for de ferierende såvel som for dem der udbyder ferieoplevelser, overnatning og forplejning.
Rejser og ferier er forbundet med væsentlige goder såsom berigende oplevelser, sanselig nydelse, personlig dannelse og udvikling, afslapning, kulturmøde og tid med familie og venner. Rejse-/ferielivet og turismen er samtidig en vigtig del af økonomien i mange lokalsamfund. De dominerende rejse- og ferieformer er med flytransporten i centrum – og med en række andre miljøbelastende rejseformer såsom krydstogter og skiferier – imidlertid også forbundet med et hidtil kraftigt stigende klimaaftryk såvel som pres på naturen og pres på lokalbefolkningens livsbetingelser og samværsformer. Pandemien har i øjeblikket sat en stopper for langt de fleste rejseaktiviteter, og såvel flybranchen som andre dele af rejse- og ferielivet vil formentlig være kraftig påvirket af krisen i den kommen tide, hvor meget ferie kommer til at foregå tættere på hjemmet. Det må dog forventes, at rejse- og ferielivet i en eller anden form vil blive genoptaget på den anden side af pandemien. Det er vigtigt, at en sådan genoptagelse samtidig giver anledning til en omstilling i retning af mere klimavenlige og bæredygtige rejser og ferier.
Projektet er finansieret af Klimafonden i Roskilde Kommune. Description

AU Interdisciplinary SDG network:
Resources are limited, waste incineration is an inefficient use of resources, and dumping waste at landfills is a source of environmental pollution. Therefore, we need to prevent waste creation, sort our waste, and reuse as much as possible in order to limit the negative environmental impact and save the resources of the planet, and we need to educate the citizens accordingly.
Waste and recycling constitute a key focus area in the modern world. We need to go from a linear to a circular economy where reuse and recycle are key words.
Preventing waste creation and facilitating better waste management are major parts of UN's Sustainable Development Goal 12 Responsible Consumption and Production and appear in several other SDGs. For example SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities speaks directly of the necessity to improve current municipal and other waste management.
Wrongly handled waste may lead to environmental pollution, thus endangering the environment (SDGs 6, 14 and 15) and public health (SDG 3). Waste prevention and proper waste management also facilitate climate action (SDG 13).
Furthermore, societal stakeholders as well as broadcast and social media increasingly focus on issues such as food waste (SDG 12), green energy (SDG 7), and a circular economy (SDG 9) – all of which are topics that ultimately relate to ways of avoiding, reducing, reusing and re-valuing waste.
However, for a circular economy to materialize in the future, we need to solve the complex problem of efficient waste and resource management holistically, on a large scale, and with the involvement of all societal players (SDG 17). OCCE will work towards these goals.Description

The spread of digital services requires a more efficient, flexible and safe internet, which means there is a need for new internet architecture. The EU-funded NGI-POINTER project intends to supply building blocks with the bases for the human-centric technical revolution of internet architecture. The project supports Next-Generation Internet (NGI) architects who bear new protocols, open software and hardware intended for internet management in a wide range of cases such as privacy-by-design, IoT, network perfection, e-commerce security and energy efficiency. The NGI-POINTER project relies on the participation of experienced scientists and professionals to achieve a successful open internet revolution.Description
