Social Impact. The Social Impact Pool invests in organizations that are treating employees and customers fairly and are creating opportunities for the least advantaged. Additionally, the Pool focuses on investment managers from groups that have been traditionally excluded from the asset management industry.
Social Impact. 4.1 In conducting the Project Activities the MEP Participants shall use Best Endeavours to minimise potential disturbances to surrounding communities and the property of the inhabitants thereof.
Social Impact. Unless there are complexities supported by the Requesting Officer and with the prior authorization if the Follow Up Unit of the DEA Execution, there cannot be more than one Manager per Contract or Agreement.
Social Impact. This pool seeks long-term growth through a diversified portfolio of global stocks and bonds from companies with strong financial and social records. Investment managers may consider positive and negative social factors when evaluating companies, ranging from environmental sustainability to involvement with the manufacture of weapons, tobacco and alcohol. This pool is appropriate for assets that will remain invested for at least seven years. Assets are exposed to market risks and may experience significant volatility and principal loss from year to year. The projected near worst- case return per annum over three years is approximately -13%.

Social Impact. There will be hundreds of visitors at the Doors Open Days and attendees at the Information Days and Stakeholders meetings. There will be dozens of media reactions to the AComIn dissemination efforts. SWOT analysis (Pages 45-48 of DoW) We acknowledge the first International Evaluation of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences which was a self-initiated and pioneering initiative, performed by the European Science Foundation/ALLEA (no Bulgarian university organised such an extensive procedure yet). It displayed BAS strengths and a number of weaknesses: fragmentation of research activities, brain drain, ageing and others. The
Social Impact. Assessment (SIA) The Consultant shall also carry out the SIA consequent to proposed projects/ sub-projects in the DPR. This SIA shall also include consultations with affected communities & people. The SIA chapter shall inter-alia contain the magnitude and other details of Land Acquisition, Resettlement issues and the Mitigation of Impacts thereof. The SIA Report shall also include the baseline socio-economic characteristics of the Project Affected Families (PAFs) & Project Affected Person (PAPs), the R&R policy provisions & entitlements, outcome of the consultations held with the communities, implementation and monitoring mechanisms. It shall also contain the budget for implementing the R&R and other provisions related to SIA.

Social Impact. The published document “PRACE – The Scientific Case for HPC in Europe2012-2020 from petascale to exascale” indicates that the competitiveness of European science and industry (as mentioned in the previous section) will be jeopardized if sufficiently capable computers are not made available, together with the associated tools and skilled people necessary to maximize their exploitation. The set of data managing and visualization tools obtained from VELaSSCo output undoubtedly helps towards the maximization of the exploitation potential of the simulations. From the social point of view, advances in the field of High-Performance Computing (HPC) will lead us to Enhanced design and manufacturing of economic, safer and environmental friendly industrial products and structures in many engineering sectors: Aero-Space Engineering, Civil Engineering, Naval and Marine Engineering and Surface Transport Vehicles. Of particular social impact, just to point put a concrete area of engineering that can benefit from the outputs of the project, is the development of new simulation methods able to solve problems of interest for predictive safety of civil constructions to natural hazards. These constructions include: buildings, bridges, harbours, dams, xxxxx, breakwaters, and similar infrastructure under extraordinary forces due to water hazards such as floods, sea waves and tsunamis, water spills due to the collapse of dams, xxxxx and reservoirs induced by landslides and earthquakes, among others. The output of this research is essential for enhanced analysis, risk assessment, save-guarding values and performance-based design of constructions, to protect population and infrastructure against natural hazards. Furthermore, access by researchers, administration and industries to this type on services, and its full exploitation with customized tools such as the ones derived from the results obtained in this VELaSSCo project, can be the difference between life and death; between new jobs and profits or bankruptcy. HPC modelling and its posterior analysis requires significant expertise to make an efficient utilization of the available resources. VELaSSCo provides room for highly-skilled scientists to develop their work at the highest level of international research in European institutions, while at the same time producing tools to be used by other researchers both in academic research institution and industries. Indeed, the high mobility of researchers suffered in the project, with...
Social Impact. The social effects of bridge financing of ESIF sub-projects will stem from accelerated project realization, and therefore, delivery of benefits to the final beneficiaries within a shorter time frame, sometimes by several years. Similarly, faster implementation leads toward uniform allocation of resources during the Programming Period and lightens the work load towards the end of the Programming Period, potentially increasing the effectiveness of human resources needed and improving productivity. The realized subprojects' social effects under INTERREG Europe Programme (INTERREG) will stem, among others, from better competitiveness of SMEs, technological development, innovation support and rehabilitated cultural heritage. Under the Operational Programme Quality of Environment (OP QE), the social effects will stem from the sustainable use of natural resources; active adaptation to climate change with particular focus on flood protection; promotion of risk management in the area of climate change; and support to energy efficient solutions in all sectors. Under the lntegrated Regional Operational Programme (IROP), the social value should stem from the development of regional infrastructure, accessible and efficient public services; the support of business and jobs creation; and the support of local communities in towns and villages. The ECF will play an important role in reducing the difference in public service quality between TSK's various services ranging from social affairs to transportation infrastructure and that of the Bratislava region or regions of the more developed economies of the EU.
