The Republic of Moldova (a total population of 4.1 million)...

The Republic of Moldova (a total population of 4.1 million) is characterized by a concentrated HIV epidemic, with a widespread prevalence among injecting drug users (IDUs) and increasing prevalence among the BSB community. By the end of 2013, in the Republic of Moldova (including Transdniestria), there were cumulatively 8,557 new cases of HIV infection, with approximately 700 new cases registered annually in 2009-2013. Incidence and prevalence are estimated to be stable, with a general prevalence of less than 1%. Transdniestria is the most affected region, with an incidence of HIV infection 3.5 times higher than in the rest of Moldova (46.9 per 100,000 inhabitants in Transnistria versus 13.7 per 100,000 inhabitants in the rest of Moldova). Although IDUs are the most affected group, the spread of the HIV epidemic is characterized by an increasing rate of heterosexual transmission as well as an increase in the rate of infection among women. According to the Integrated Bio-Behavioral Study (SBCI) of 2012/2013, HIV prevalence in IDUs was estimated at 8.5% in Chisinau, compared with 16.4% in 2009 and 41% in Balti compared with 39.8% in 2009; HIV prevalence among commercial sex workers (LFS) was 11.6% in Chisinau compared to 6.9% in 2010 and 21.5% in Balti versus 24.7% in 2010; HIV prevalence among BSBs was 5.4% in Chisinau compared to 2% in 2010 and 8.2% in Balti versus less than 1% in 2010. While protected injection practices have become a norm in IDUs, reduced progress in adopting practices of sexually-protected behavior may be conditioned by an increase in the rate of sexually transmitted infection - from 706 new cases reported in 2013, in 91.1% of cases sexual transmission was mentioned as the most likely cause of infection. Coverage of HIV-infected pregnant women with antiretroviral prophylaxis (ARV) of maternal-fetal transmission of HIV infection was 95.4% in 2013. By the end of 2013, the number of patients in ARV treatment was 2.493, representing 37 , 57% of the needs estimated according to the 2010 WHO guidelines. Retention in 12-month type treatment was 81.2% in 2013 (cohort of 2012). Although there are no waiting lines for inclusion in ARV in Moldova, nearly 40% of cases are late, indicating the need to increase the early detection rate of HIV infections, including improving the access of key populations and their partners to services testing HIV and a reference between community services and medical institutions. The overall goal of the program is to support an effective national response to HIV to reduce prevalence among key populations and reduce HIV mortality by increasing access for key populations to testing, diagnosis, treatment, care and support services. The program is based on the National Health Policy 2007-2021 and the National HIV / AIDS 2011-2015 National Strategy jointly evaluated along with other strategic and analytical documents, taking into account the lessons learned. The program is aligned with the priorities set out in the Investment Guideline of the Global Fund for the Eastern Europe and Central Asia 2014-2016 and focused on sustainability. The program will increase the access of key affected populations (CDI, LSC, MSM) and their partners to evidence-based HIV prevention services by substantially expanding harm reduction programs. The program will also provide universal access to treatment, care and support services and will continue prophylactic ARV treatment for HIV-infected pregnant women to prevent mother-to-child transmission (PTMC). As a result of measures taken to ensure sustainability, the government will cover most ARV medicines and the program will mainly focus on the penitentiary sector and the Transnistrian region, also covering second-line drugs (partly) and third-line ARVs. Another important component of the program is to strengthen community capacity and ensure the sustainability of the program.

Layered hybrid structures Superconductor-Ferromagnet are the object of intensive investigation last decade as they serve as the base for novel direction of microelectronics, superconducting spintronics. Up to now it is not invesdtigated experimentally recently theoretically predicted inverse proximity effect and triplet superconducting state in SF-hybrids. Directly detection of that effects are the main goals of the proposed project. The theory of L.R.Tagirov predicts that the critical temperature of the FSF- trilayers should depend on relative orientation of the magnetization vector of ferromagnetic layers. To enable a reversal of one of the magnetization vectors in the FSF -structure with respect to the direction of magnetization of the other layers by an external magnetic field, one has to provide the required difference in the coercive forces of the F layers due to their intrinsic properties or to use the assistance of an additional antiferromagnetic pinning layer delivering an exchange bias. For conversion of singlet superconducting correlations into triplet one, we need to create special samples with a precisely controlled thickness of the layers and with non-collinear magnetization of the involved F-layers. Special vacuum technological process for fabrication of high-quality superconducting films and layered heterostructures, designed and constructed in the Institute of Electronivc Engineering and Nanotechnology, serve as the base for fabrication of the necessary samples and successful realization of the proposed project. Polarized Neutron Reflectometry (PNR) is planned to be a unique tool for direct measurements of the sign and magnitude of the magnetization of the layers for detection of the inverse proximity effect (or induced magnetism in superconducting layer being in contact with the ferromagnetic one). The second goal - investigation of the possibility of detection of the superconducting long-range triplet component in multi-layered FSF structures, also will be granted by the polarized neutron reflectometry, PNR.

The water project is directly aligned to the Taraclia district Programme for 2013-2015 towards solving the issue of access to clean water as approved by the district council from November 2013. The project envisages the installation of 8 water stations, which represent special installation allowing access to clean filtered water. Eight localities have been identified to be in most critical needs of such objects, they being: Taraclia town- 13,500 people Tvardita town – 6,082 people Valea Perjei village – 4,982 people Corten village- 3,314 people Cairaclia village – 2,005 people Albota de Jos village – 1,315 people Albota de Sus village – 912 people Cortenul Nou village, Cealic – 250 people The second intervention refers to the roof renovation at Grigore Tsamblak University in Taraclia. The dormitory of the Grigore Tsamblak University is a five-storied building put into commission in 1983. The roof is a flat one and is covered with bitumen membranes. The dormitory has a capacity to accommodate 400 students. At present, it accommodates 180 students. The building has all the plumbing and wiring needed for a student dormitory. The building is located in the central part of Taraclia town and is intercalated into a fairly developed economic-social infrastructure. The poor technical condition of the roof however has rendered the 4th and 5th floor practically unusable. Recently the exterior walls were provided with thermal insulation and the windows and doors were replaced.

The programme will represent a framework for engaging in development interventions across the security zone on both sides of the Nistru/Dniestr River, in line with agreements reached in the 5+2 negotiation process[1]. As such, it is comprised of a series of activities that will strengthen, regularize and intensify interaction between otherwise divided societies, aiming to establish this interaction as a norm. The proposed programme primarily aims at improving the living conditions of the population on the both sides of the Nistru river through their mutual cooperation. Special emphasis is on ensuring the continuity and the sustainability of the cross-river connections, facilitated by the previous CBM in the following sectors/fields: economic development and entrepreneurship; community development and cross-river NGOs sectoral platforms; health sector modernization; cultural development and historical heritage; support to media local content development. The implementation of the programme is driven by the principle of “mirroring”, i.e. working similarly on both banks of the river Nistru, and by the principle of consensus between authorities of both banks for a technical and apolitical work. It looks to deal strategically with barriers to cooperation experienced by all development cooperation actors working in Transnistria region of Moldova by building the trust towards such actions and broadening opportunities for engagement for a wide range of stakeholders.

The project derives from the shared idea within the project consortium that the national historic and architectural heritage is extremely beneficial for development of cultural tourism, yet, it’s a very sensitive part of the Black Sea countries’ social and economic life. On the one side, the territory of each of the participating countries is exceptionally rich of historic and architectural heritage, represented not only by monuments, but mostly of buildings and urban communities, protected by national and international legislation. On the other side, protected buildings face solid barriers in their maintenance and exploitation as tourist, residential or business objects, thus influencing negatively the environment. The complex balancing between legal and environmental requirements and business development of the historical buildings is identified as a common issue in the Black Sea countries and GreeTHiS project is ambitious to provide opportunities for innovative and unconventional solutions.

This action aims to further enhance the integrated border management (IBM) between the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine by encouraging inter-agency cooperation through joint control and information exchange on persons/vehicles/goods crossing the Moldovan-Ukrainian border, as well as through joint border surveillance along the common border. The proposed action will support the two beneficiary countries with implementing 24/7 automated intellectual video control systems (VICOS) at some of the busiest road border crossing points (BCPs) to develop cross-border and inter-agency real-time information sharing, including pre-arrival data exchange based on Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR). The action is also aimed at improving mobility and accessibility in difficult water areas and/or during unfavorable weather conditions along the common blue border, with the view to enhance preparedness to respond to border incidents and urgent search and/or rescue needs in a bilaterally coordinated and coherent manner. The action is expected to contribute to the broader objective to facilitate trade and movement of people across borders, while preventing and combating cross-border crime and corruption, and therefore to the economic security and sustainable development of the region. It responds to the priorities as identified in the national IBM policy documents of both countries (Moldova IBM Strategy 2018-2023 and Ukraine IBM Strategy 2020 - 2025). It does also fit the bilateral and regional cooperation and assistance frameworks, such as the EU Association Agreements and Association Agendas with both countries, the Regional East Strategy Paper 2014-20, and the European Neighbourhood Instrument East Regional Action Plan 2018. The key stakeholders and beneficiaries are the border and customs authorities of Moldova and Ukraine, which have been involved at the identification phase and have jointly submitted their equipment needs to be potentially provided under this project.

Idealist is made up of 33 project beneficiaries, who have committed to deploy additional resources. The remaining participants are termed in this proposal “Associated Partners” (APs = non-Beneficiaries). APs will participate in specific project activities on a volunteer basis using their expertise, with their efforts and travel costs covered by the project. APs have access to all the project results and will benefit from all project services. The Idealist2018 allows each country to choose what type of participation is more suitable for them. NCPs are appointed and financed nationally/regionally by the relevant governmental body. NCP structure, working methods and funding are defined nationally and not by the EC. These activities are closely described in the EC’s fundamental document “Minimum Standards and guiding principles for setting up systems of National Contact Points”. Idealist does not fund any of those activities in line with the EU financial regulations; however, this fact has led to divergent NCP environments throughout Europe and different degrees of NCP service coverage and quality. Another reason for these quality diversities are personnel changes even in well-established NCP organisations or the setting up of new NCP systems.

The necessity of BRIDGE proposal has been expressed in some EU projects (EUNEG, EMA) and strengthened by Joint Communication “Review of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP)”. The timeliness of the BRIDGE proposal is appropriate also because, the European Union launched the new phase of an ambitious initiative focusing on cross-border cooperation (CBC) between its outlying member states and their neighbours as part of the comprehensive ENP in 2014. While the ENP targets external relations with the neighbouring countries as a whole, the CBC programmes lay emphasis on equal cooperation across borders at local and regional level. Considering the significant regional disparities in Moldova, the lack of a strategic policy framework on regional development and weak implementation capacities there is an increasing need for Moldova to work towards regional and cross-border cooperation development with the aim of promoting economic and social cohesion, human development and tackling regional imbalances in the process of the European integration in the framework of the ENP. The project’s key target groups are Moldovan students, young researchers, teachers, public administrators, professional groups, civil society representatives and general public.

The six target countries on the eastern borders of the EU, i.e. Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, constitute a region of major importance for the Union, which is addressed by the Eastern Partnership initiative in the context of the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP). In this background, the EU-EaP cooperation in the field of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) has been set high in the joint agenda of the European Union MS and EaP countries over the last years as this has been illustrated in the Joint Declaration of the Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius (November 2013), in which a “Common Knowledge and Innovation Space to pull together several existing strands of cooperation in research and innovation” has been one of the main policy goals identified to be attained by 2015. As an evidence, the launching of the ‘EU-EaP Panel on Research an Innovation’ in 2013, involving policy makers from the two regions and chaired by the European Commission (EC), underlines the importance of the bi-regional scientific cooperation that is given by the EU and the EaP countries. Moreover, significant developments have been recently observed with regard to the participation of the EaP countries in EU’s Framework Programmes: Among the six EaP countries, Moldova is already associated to ‘Horizon 2020’ since July 2014, the Association Agreement has been signed with Ukraine in February 2015 and negotiations are in progress for the Association of Armenia and Georgia. These developments are depicting the strong mutual political will for a closer cooperation between the EU and the EaP countries, and set the challenge to transform the Association to a tangible success. The EaP PLUS project, building on the results of the predecessor FP7 project 'IncoNet EaP', aims to address this challenging context by providing support and by developing concrete actions both in the fields of research and of innovation, while working closely with the policy stakeholders and the respective policy dialogue fora.

The European Commission and the European National Research ...

The European Commission and the European National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) share the objective of providing a stable environment for the implementation of GÉANT as the European Communication Commons for the European Research Area (ERA). This objective - an open space for knowledge, innovation and growth - was emphasised in the GÉANT Expert Group (GEG) report, "Knowledge Without Borders," which stated the importance of providing the best possible digital infrastructure to ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of research and other knowledge endeavours. The European NRENs combine their efforts in the GÉANT partnership to serve all users, from flagship "big science" projects, to the single talent of the citizen researcher. Since the first pan-European network backbone was established more than 20 years ago, the GÉANT collaboration has taken Europe from being far behind in global networking to a world-leading position. Europe should be constantly advancing the state of the art. As pointed out in the GEG report, this is only possible with stable funding at both European and national levels. The Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) provides the instrument to deliver this, with commitment from the European Commission for the stability of the European funding, and calls the attention of the member states to the vital role of the NRENs, and, as also recommended in the GEG report, the possibility of using European structural funds to address issues such as the Digital Divide. At the same time, the NRENs and their partner organisations commit to the goals expressed in this proposal including contribution to the realisation of the relevant EU policies and supply of information for further policy development. The technical innovation and cost-sharing principles developed over the years by the GÉANT partners have proven their effectiveness in providing services to the R&E community that are not available through commercial providers, and in diminishing the Digital Divide within Europe. Today, the GÉANT infrastructure serves the European knowledge economy through its open, innovative and trusted information infrastructure. Greater than the sum of its parts, the GÉANT infrastructure provides secure, cost-effective and reliable services for very high-speed connectivity, identity inter-federation, resource virtualisation, mobility and trust in order to support knowledge communities and ensure a digital continuum of services to users anywhere in the EU. The objective of the partnership is to expand the current GÉANT Infrastructure into the European Communications Commons, as envisioned by the GEG Report, and thus provide the means through which the NRENs and the R&E community can make a vital contribution to the realisations of the aspiration of the European Commission, as stated in the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2014-2015: "e-Infrastructures will make every European researcher digital, increasing creativity and efficiency of research and bridging the divide between developed and less-developed regions." The European Communication Commons will provide new possibilities for research, education and Citizen Science, through ubiquitous access to any resource for knowledge creation, innovation and learning.

In this Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) the European National Research and Education Networks, united in the GÉANT partnership, propose to implement the European Communications Commons, as stipulated in the GÉANT Expert Group report of October 2011. The proposal defines the scope and priorities to be observed in the Specific Grant Agreements (SGAs) that will define the work in detail. The FPA aims to "...make every European researcher digital, increasing creativity and efficiency of research and bridging the divide between developed and less-developed regions.” The future GÉANT infrastructure will provide secure, cost-effective, highly available and reliable services for very high-speed connectivity, identity inter-federation, resource virtualisation, mobility, security and trust, ensuring the digital continuum of services to the Research and Educational users anywhere in the EU whether at home or on the move. Further development of the Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructure, in terms of footprint and providing seamless and unimpeded access to relevant data and computing resources from anywhere, is a strategic component in this endeavour and will be undertaken in cooperation with the other European e-infrastructure providers and projects. By the very nature of the FPA, the current proposal does not include any specific work, budgets, deliverables or milestones. These details belong to the future SGAs. The vision presented here is a general overview of the actions to be proposed under the framework. The FPA will be governed by a General Assembly with advisory bodies and committees ensuring that users’ views, as well as senior industry and service provider expertise, contribute to the strategic governance. One of the most successful attributes governed by the Cost Sharing Committee of the GEANT cooperation over the past decade is the ability to agree and to share costs across a greatly diversified Europe.
