INTERREG IVC

Minutes - Meeting January 26th 2011

Jan '11- Jun '11
Workshop no. 3 in Brescia, Italy (mandatory) 18th and 19th may 2011
Component 3: Exchange of experiences and analysis of good practices To prepare the project Action plan including methodology to carry out the activities, activities distribution, preparation for implementation component, …	- Project orientation and action plan all
NOTE: We have several doubts about the action plan. Is it the distribution of tasks that appears in this sheet, or is anything else??? In the meeting, we had understood that the action plan was going to be carried out by INNO8 and AGRIA. If it is supposed to be developed by all of us, we would appreciate more information about the involved tasks. Let's say that it concerns all of us. You may always contribute and propose some pertinent approach
To map regional activities/entities working on food related and/or ageing issues -To write reports on local potential contributions NOTE: What kind of contributions do you mean? Contributions of pertinent actors to identify: if you meet them, you should have advice on their potential contribution	6  food related activities regional maps  all
-State of art: how is "food for elderly" being taken in consideration in each region regarding the identified project items: nutrition, packaging, logistics,…	We think we all have to prepare our own state of art about the thematic that better fits in with each partner, don't we? Yes, You're right !
Preparation of a survey related to elderly habits.	- 1survey related to elderly habits and expectations regarding food and health prepared. leader: HAMK UMU PULS
-To prepare the survey regarding innovation tendencies and capabilities (form, questions, goals, …) We have to look into the innovative tendencies and capabilities but regarding what? Food for elderly	- innovation survey report : first elements leader: PRODINTEC INNO8
-Technological state of the art review: Technology available, existing products, design methodologies, future...	- 1 draft report gathering the state of the art of the technology all
What is the existing relationship between the state of art that appears above and this one? Do they have anything to do or are completely different? Because of our different background in this project, probably several partners would start to study aspects regarding technology, e.g., about manufacturing or packaging technologies. Since this is a task that has to be developed by all of us, we would like you to specify the following: The real difference between them if it exists. What sort of technology we have to focus in this task. Design methodologies of what: new products??? Future tendencies about technology, products…??? Woww!!!! We don't intend to publish a 300 pages file….. At this time, we are trying to organize ourselves and to gather potential contribution of each partner. This form has been the canvas of our application, helping us to explain was we should do to CREATOR jury and to win the project! But this is only a canvas to help us to ask such good questions as you did! I would say that we are at the beginning of the work and if you have responses to your questions – working with CEEI - that should be a good thing
Regulation review: laws, state "public involvement", planification, territory management,	-1 draft report of regarding regulation leader: NFH
- To exchange datas (collaborative tools), discussing	- First inputs about benchmarking and analyzing strength and weaknesses in each region           all
This remark is similar than the other ones. We should draw up a sort of SWOT but regarding what topics? Yes, if you feel it, please be kind to propose a SWOT matrix….. è then we have something to drive our discussion/exchanges
Component 4: Implementation   To start discussing internally the issues and the requirements for BL implementation	-Draft implementation activities note all

 

Who is responsible of what:

• CEEI Asturias Fundacion PRODINTEC INNO8 should work on a flyer in English version about BIOLIFE

  Goal is to help each BIOLIFE participant to explain to future interviewees what is BIOLIFE and its goals and aims.

  Please, include the "target group" approach in the document (to be compliant with CREATOR communication approach

• HAMK University of Applied Sciences, Umeå university NFH with AGRIA LORRAINE should work on a 1^st draft of a survey polling elderly about their needs and wishes : opinion poll in English version
• AGRIA: should propose to the whole group a typical "state of art intelligence draft" about senior food involved organizations, universities, clusters, companies, BSO (business support organizations such as chambers of commerce, innovation and development agencies…) of a state of art. Does it mean that AGRIA will have to send us a draft that allows us how to initiate the study of the state of art and what kind of organizations we should include in this study? More or less…. yes ! But it is always the same thing: someone proposes, then we discuss and exchange on it!
• PULS : Checklist approach of the needs of elderly (3-4 groups),
• NFH: process and legal approach draft of the issue being useable by other BIOLIFE participants to include it in their state of art report
• For example: the cholesterol is very important subject for the senior population.
• Give testimonial to create "senior Lab" What does this mean? This is the demand coming from CREATOR working group to have a "senior lab" having 7 senior people coming from the 7 regions in each. I have mentioned it because we have been asked to help CREATOR working group to find someone here in Lorraine. If you have the same opportunity in your area, don't hesitate to propose someone to Jason !

• Next meeting
  • Video-conference: 1rst April 2011 10h organized by AGRIA LORRAINE for exchange the different part. About the videoconference, what parts should we exchange? And by the way, what is the deadline of our tasks in this semester? Should we have something finished for this conference?

  Forget "the different parts", it doesn't signify anything (bad translation).
  No, 1^st April meeting is an intermediary workshop

  • Brescia Meeting ( mandatory): 18^th & 19 may 2011 è please book your agenda

Important: everybody has to begin to prepare an international video conference. AGRIA will be responsible for the global preparation

Our project attracts attention in the media

Hello to all of you, BIOLIFE partners!

I just want to inform you that our BIOLIFE project has got some attention in our local media here in Västerbotten. When Länsstyrelsen announced the approved applications there were several newspapers reporting of this  and this morning I was invited to the radio to talk about our collaboration.

There seem to be many people interseted in our project which is good news since it might facilitate our "networking".

BIOLIFE LOGO

Hello to all of you.

We have been working in the desgin of the flyer, so the first task has been designing the logo of the project. We are proposing you two different options: 
In order to continue the flyer design proccess we would need some feedback of these options, so if you could give it to us in the following days we would be very grateful.

Best regards.

Survey related to elderly habits and expectations regarding food and health prepare,

In Lorraine, we begin to work on the state of art and on survey related to elderly habits and expectations. We worked on research methodology. You can find our results on these links  

download Research methodology regulatory

download Market research methodology

We make also a little survey in our town, you can find our survey on this link:

download Survey about elderly

David Santos Gonzales said us that the logo is on the right way and we will be able to send us nearly to have your feedback.

Could you try to use these methodology to do the survey about the regulatory or about the market?

And don't forget we have to exchange our best practices, so If you have any questions or comments about the methodologies or about the survey they are welcome.

I look forward to your feedback.

Submissions of BIOLIFE partners

Since I was not there at the beginning of this project and in order to better know you could you send me your submissions of your organization that you made during the kick-off meeting of BIOLIFE in Metz.

Thanks a lot

Bests Regards

Olivier

The videoconference will be cancelled from 01/04/11

 

We , François and me, don't want to waste 30% of budget for conducting a video conference and we expect to achieve it through skype with as many people will not be effective. Thus, we prefer to initially set it aside and see if we can do it later if necessary.

I would also make a point we are still awaiting Partnership Agreement, thank you for returning them to sign as soon as possible.

Bests Regards

Olivier

EU logo and text - mandatory on each public document

 
Mariann Holmberg, CREATOR communication officer  posted a message about "Communication Obligations "

=> Dear participants
 
Some clarifyings about making leaflets, brochures, advertisements or other printings about your projects.
 
Please observe there is an obligation to put EU- and Interreg-logo on the front page together with the text:
This project has been made possible by the INTERREG IVC and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund
Without these logos and the text on the front page, you will not be able to get fundings for example printing costs.
You should always keep one ex, connectet to the invoice.

We also appreciate you to put the Creator logo togeter with the text:
xxxxx-project is part of the CREATOR mini-programme, www.creator7.eu
You don't need to put this on the frontpage.

These obligations should be clear separated from the information about your project.
Your leaf-lets and brochures should distinctly communicate your project and your information.
The obligations mentioned above is to be placed for example in the bottom, to the left or to the right. Visible, without interrupting yor project-communication. Your "logo" or your project namn should always be bigger and more visible than the obligations.

On the web-site you will find the logos in JPEG. If you are in need of logos in other format, please tell me.
I have them in many versions, for example; invisible background, white text, EPS, TIFF.
If you are making a layout to be printed in a proffessional printing office they will ask for high resolution EPS-format.

Don't hesitate to ask, if this is confusing.

Best Regards

Mariann Holmberg
CREATOR Communication Officer

Video conference and SKYPE - Magdalena's advice

We made the research on the possibility of organize video-conference in Poznan. And in conclusion I have to say that the easiest way is to make video conference by Skype.
Skype provides service for video conference with high quality and reasonable price. I have used it and know from experience that it worked well.
Additionally to rent studio for the conference in our city , makes 30% our budget for this semester.
We discussed already in Metz with few people about skype video-conference and they shared our opinion.
I would like to know what you all think about it and any suggestions are more than welcome!
Best regards,
Magdalena and Małgorzata
