summary:
A consortium of 6 international partners from Europe and Australia proposed to develop a powerful and fully accessible “Time-enabled Mapping and Dissemination Tool for Biofuels Projects” to facilitate the dissemination of projects (including biofuel production facilities, testing of biofuels in car fleets, use of biofuels in municipalities and research projects under the European Commission’s framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development) that are either ongoing or have been completed but are still running under market conditions.
The BIOMAP will provide the user or the researcher with a wealth of information concerning the projects mapped. It will also be able to examine or analyse the various projects across time as the BIOMAP will be designed to consider only certain periods of time. It will be possible therefore to see the developments and progress achieved in a particular area e.g. biofuels type, country, or organisation over time. Alternatively it will be possible to examine the same parameters across FP5, FP6 and eventually FP7. In addition, because of its unique focus on interactions between similar aspects of related projects, the BIOMAP can be employed to disseminate and showcase both the evolution and current state of networking activity across Europe.
The coordinator of the contract is Ms. Niki Komioti of EXERGIA S.A. and the technical coordinator is Dr. Julie Tolmie of the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King’s College London.
Dr. Kyriakos Maniatis is the EC DG TREN Technical Officer responsible for supervising the carrying out of the project work and the associated development of the Biomap mapping tool.
