IncluCities website: a model for a European project!

IncluCities is launching its brand new website!
With all project-related information and everything you need to know to keep yourself up-to-date on European policy on migrant integration and inclusion, this will be the focal point of the IncluCities community.

The website offers insights into the IncluCities project’s progress, dynamics, ideas from the ground, lessons learned and action plans for cities to improve the way local communities welcome newcomers.

LOCAL is the new GLOBAL
This website will gather news on topics related to migration, integration and inclusion. The main aim is to focus on global issues by presenting the IncluCities’ partners’ existing local practices and sharing ideas from other cities and municipalities across Europe.

Check the handshake
With the interactive map of participating cities, IncluCities wants to present the participants and their associations. Click on the maps handshakes to access a visual presentation of each mentoring pair cooperation, listing data and describing the strengths, needs and best practices of participating cities.

Method in a snapshot
For those interested in in-depth methodology, check out the resources page with all the mentoring documents. Take a look at the step-by-step graphical explanation of each process. From study visits to training academies and workshops, the process will lead to effective action plans that will open new approaches and structures for migrant integration.

Meet the partners
A full section is dedicated to the partners, the seven associations of local and regional governments and their participating cities.

Behind the scenes
There is always a human story behind every initiative. IncluCities hopes to showcase many, through interviews and various videos on how integration and education work in everyday life.
Lots of other external publications, project deliverables and working documents will be placed under resources.

Nonwovens, you say?

What do running shoes, baby diapers, surgical masks, roads, and air filters all have in common?

Surprise! It’s nonwovens.

Although often hiding in plain sight, we use nonwovens both day and night, and from the moment we are born to the day that we die. Thanks to their softness, breathability, and exceptional absorption, nonwovens are today’s unsung heroes of comfort and convenience. But nonwovens aren’t just an essential material in many everyday products, they’re also at the vanguard of sustainability and innovation.

Clearly, the nonwoven sector is full of surprises – and Nonwovens, you say? intends to unveil them all.  

Nonwovens, you say? is an exciting new campaign by EDANA that puts the spotlight on the many benefits of nonwovens.

Over the next 19 months, the communication campaign will be rolling out a range of creative and fun activities that will leave you wowed. Through a dedicated website, social media platforms, videos, infographics, interviews, games, events, and much, much more, EDANA will be highlighting how:

• Nonwovens Are Everywhere: discover how nonwovens are used in many of the products we use each and every day.  
• Nonwovens Are Raising the Bar on Sustainability: learn how this commitment to sustainability has led to several significant environmental achievements.
• Nonwovens Are Defining the Future on Innovation: come see how innovation in nonwovens is opening the door to the opportunities and applications that will define the future.

The campaign is the result of an inspiring process, including EDANA—the leading global association and voice of the nonwovens and related industries, their members and the communication agency, Page in extremis.

Stay tuned by following the campaign activities at nonwovensyousay.eu

Based in Brussels, the communication agency, Page in extremis makes associations brands conversational, helps organisations engage with their stakeholders and convey their messages.

Cobalt, an essential element behind many of today’s most critical applications! 

Cobalt is a technology-enabling material that is currently irreplaceable in many of today’s technologies; portable devices such as laptops and smartphones, batteries for electric vehicles, renewable energy storage systems, wind turbines, automotive safety systems, cutting tools, prosthetics, catalysts, aircraft, rockets and many more applications, could not exist without the vital contribution of cobalt.

More than just metal, cobalt enhances our quality of life and plays a vital part in building a sustainable future.

As the demand for cobalt increases, so does the exposure to supply chain risk. The complexity of the cobalt supply chain means it is exposed to multiple responsible sourcing risks. With consumers, the media, and society now well-aware of this, many companies that use cobalt are scrutinising the sustainability of their supply chains. 

For example, many automotive companies – the most significant users of cobalt – are transferring their customer’s requirements to their cobalt suppliers, requiring increased due diligence and assessment of every step of their supply chain including sourcing. 

Cobalt producers and buyers have a responsibility to give these end users the confidence that the materials they work with are responsibly sourced and produced.

Intending to establish an industry-wide cobalt supply chain risk management framework, in 2017, the Cobalt Institute entered into a partnership with RCS Global, a leading adviser on responsible sourcing of natural resources. The result of this partnership is the Cobalt Industry Responsible Assessment Framework (CIRAF).

The Cobalt Institute (CI) has a longstanding commitment to the sustainable and responsible production and use of cobalt. 

The Cobalt Institute (CI) entrusted the communication agency Page in extremis with the mission to promote its proactive approach to sustainability.

A thematic website and a social media campaign (Twitter and LinkedIn) have been elaborated in close collaboration with the communication team of the Cobalt Institute.

Digital communication campaigns offer the organisation to outline its messages and highlight its uniqueness to a specific target audience, with tailored communications, through various mediums.

One of the first steps is to define a strategy through analysis. Although the way to communicate will differ across social channels, the messages should remain consistent, address the relevant audience and stand out in the context.

Based in Brussels, the communication agency Page in extremis makes associations brands conversational, helps organisations engage with their stakeholders and convey their messages.

IncluCities - Building inclusive cities with migrants

The IncluCities project (2020-2022) aims to improve the integration of third-country nationals in medium-sized cities through city-to-city cooperation. Eight cities, with varying degrees of experience integrating migrants, and their national associations of local and regional governments are participating.

The initiative is led by the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR) and financed by the European Union’s Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF).

Inclucities is a three-year project based on four mentoring schemes, which will cover various areas, including education and training, access to essential services, active participation and social inclusion, and housing.

Cities (accompanied by associations of local and regional government) are paired in groups of two, in which one city acts as a mentor and the other city as a mentee.

The current state of the European construction sector

The FIEC’s Annual Statistical Report shows the current state of the European construction sector.

Thanks to their national Member Federations’ statistical experts, FIEC has collected figures on, amongst many other things, investment in new housebuilding, renovation and maintenance of residential buildings, non-residential building and civil engineering and employment in construction in 2019. 

After a positive overall development in 2019, the construction sector had a good start in 2020. However, at the end of Q1, the COVID-19 crisis severely hit the construction sector in many countries.

Due to the uncertainties related to the crisis, it was not possible to forecast figures for 2020. FIEC could only give a rough estimation of how total investments in construction might develop in 2020 based on first assessments by their Member Federations’ statistical experts.

FIEC, therefore, estimates a decline in investments in total construction by 8.5%. The situation might worsen in 2021 if investments in construction, both public and private, do not recover significantly. 

The 63rd annual FIEC Statistical Report will be useful for all readers by giving an insight into the sector and by demonstrating its significance for the economy as a whole.

This Report is a milestone as it is the first time that FIEC has published a digital version. Check online this must-read digital publication.

Page in extremis, the communication agency has developed the online platform in close collaboration with the FIEC team.

Page in extremis has realised major web-based communications projects for many well-known European institutions and associations. 

As a leading communications agency, our online projects set the standard for digital communications in the European public affairs space.

The communication agency has defined a very smooth process, including monitoring and quality check particularly suited to provide maximum comfort to its clients and the best results.

The 63rd annual FIEC Statistical Report

Discover the 2019 annual report of Brugel, the Brussels regulator for the gas and electricity markets!

The report reviews the highlights of 2019: the Clean Energy Package, new pricing methodologies for electricity and gas but also for water as well as new electricity and gas distribution tariffs.

You will also find trends in renewable energy production facilities or what has been implemented to allow innovative projects to obtain exemptions from market and tariff rules.

This digital version offers you, in addition to the information in a classic report, video interviews with the coordinator and president of Brugel as well as the heads of department.

By consulting the website dedicated to the report, you can also download the entire publication in PDF format or only specific chapters, this site adapting perfectly to your needs.

Alongside this new annual report, five thematic notebooks were also produced about:

• Developments in the electricity and natural gas market in the Brussels-Capital region;
• Operation of the market for green certificates and guarantees of origin;
• Residential consumer rights and the functioning of the electricity and gas markets;
• Complaints handling and operation of the Litigation department;
• The water sector in the Brussels-Capital Region.

The 2019 online report of Brugel is a comprehensive example of a hybrid publication (digital and print).

Brugel is responsible for advising public authorities of the Brussels region on the organisation and functioning of the regional energy market on the one hand, and on the other, on an overall mission for the supervision and control of energy.

The communication agency, Page in extremis is proud to have been involved in writing, designing and producing the report for the last 4 years.

The communication agency has defined a very exact process, including monitoring and quality check particularly suited to provide maximum comfort to its clients and the best results.

The European Construction Industry #StrongerTogether

“The construction industry is one of the largest players in our economy. It employs around 7% of all the workforce and builds the basis of a sustainable and competitive society” declares Thomas Bauer, the president of FIEC in the last FIEC annual report and he continues: “Construction plays a key role in increasing our quality of life, in ensuring the success of our economies, as well as our culture and wellbeing, our mobility and for sustainable development in general”.

For Mr Bauer, one of the main objectives of FIEC is precisely “to facilitate all necessary political and economic initiatives to enable the construction industry with all its workforce to play this important role in the best possible manner”.

In 2019, the construction sector operated 6.1% of EU27 total employment and 27.4% of industrial employment. The industry is made from 3 million enterprises (95% are SMEs with fewer than 20 and 93% with fewer than 10 operatives).  

Want to know more about FIEC achievements? Discover the FIEC Milestones timeline 2019 -2020 in the 2020 Annual Report!

Through its 32 national member federations in 28 European countries (25 EU & Norway, Ukraine and Turkey), FIEC represents, without discrimination, construction enterprises of all sizes, from all building and civil engineering specialities, engaged in all kinds of working methods.

FIEC speaks for the European Construction Industry. The European construction industry contributes 9.5% to the EU GDP and employs 12.7 million people.
