Šis pētījums veikts par transporta politikas un biodegvielas attīstību Eiropas Savienības robežās. Biodegviela ir izraudzīta kā risinājums, lai samazinātu siltumnīcas efektu, kas rodas gāzu emisijas rezultātā. Eiropas institūcijas ir celmlauzis attiecīgu regulu ieviešanā, nosakot par obligātu mērķi noteikt biodegvielas patēriņu ES tiesību aktos. Debates ir iezīmētas strīdīgā paradoksā: desmitgadē, biodegviela ir paaugstinājusies tikai priekš vides organizācijām, kaut arī šobrīd tas iezīmējas korupcijā, starptautiskie finansisti un politiķi ir galvenie dalībnieki biodegvielas attīstībā, kā risinājums klimata izmaiņām. Šis paradokss, pamatā ir izveidojies no jaunās zinātniskās izpētes, kuras uzsvars ir uz ispējamās agrodegvielas negatīvās ietekmes uz sociālo, ekonomisko un apkārtējo vidi. Ar dažādu agrodegvielas tipoloģiju analīzi un pētījumu par ietekmi uz dažādām ieinteresētajām pusēm par ES tiesību aktiem, tiks sniegts plašs redzējums par agrodegvielas fenomens un tā sekām. Diskusiju pieaugums starp politiķiem, nevalstiskajām grupas (NVO), ražotājiem, sāk radīt sāk būtiskas sekas attiecībā uz relatīvo pieaugumu nozīmi, kas skar sabiedrisko domu un plašsaziņas līdzekļus. Sākumā agrodegvielas likumdošanas debatēs vairums informācijas avotu neietvēra daudz papildu emisijas, kas iesaistīta ražošanā, savukārt mūsdienās, ar zinātniskās izpētes, tostarp pārējiem mainīgajiem lielumiem, attīstās citu agrodegvielas ražošanas perspektīvu paaudze. ; This study will focus on the development of the transport policy and agrofuel within the EU framework. Agrofuels are been selected as a solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and European institutions has been pioneer in the policy regulation, establishing mandatory target for agrofuel consumption within the EU legislation. The debate is grounded on a controversial paradox: for decades, biofuels were promoted merely from the environmental organization, while nowadays it seems that corporations, international financiers and politicians are major actors in the development of biofuels as solution to climate change. This paradox mainly is generated from the raise of new scientific study which has point out the possible negative impact of agrofuel in the social, economic and environmental sphere. Through the analysis of the different typologies of agrofuel and the study of the impact of different stakeholders on the EU legislation, it will be provided a wide vision of the agrofuel phenomenon and its implications. The raise of debate between politicians, non-governmental groups (NGOs), producers, scientists starts to have consequences on the relative increase of relevance gained from this topic towards public opinion and the media. In the beginning of the agrofuel legislative debate, most informative sources did not include many additional emissions involved in the production; while nowadays, with the developments of scientific study including other variables, another perspective of the agrofuel's production is emerging.

Background: Globally, a significant increase in the emergence of antibiotic resistant (ABR) path-ogens has rendered several groups of antibiotics ineffective for the treatment of life-threatening infections. It is an endemic in hospital settings and a major concern while handling pathogens involved in an epidemic or pandemic. ABR is a matter of great concern due to its recusant impact on public health and cost to the healthcare system, especially in developing country like India. An indiscriminateand inappropriate usage of antimicrobials, poor infrastructure and sanitation are the major factors driving the evolution of ABR in such countries. Therefore, in addition to the devel-opment of novel therapeuticsand safeguarding the efficacy of existing antibiotics, there is an ur-gent need for a programme focussed on the education in risk management and prevention of ABR. Aim: To promote qualitative teaching activities in academia and society to visualize a future where every individual is aware of ABR and empowered with right education to address the issue.Methods: The project 'Risk Management and Prevention of Antibiotics Resistance -PREVENT IT', funded by the ERASMUS+ Programme of the European Union, converges academicians and non-government organizations (NGOs) to inculcate a sense of awareness towards the increase in the frequency of ABR pathogens, judicial usage of antimicrobials and the economic/health burden of ABR, in students, academicians, clinicians and population at large. Expected outcome: The project commissioned envisages a behavioural change in individuals and attempts to support policymakers by executing stable changes in the curricula of institutes of higher education, developing advanced workshop modules for the training of academicians and disseminating ABR-related information through conferences/seminars, social media campaigns and an online platform dedicated to ABR. In addition, the project aims to develop a European-Indian network for the management of risk and prevention of ABR.
