The history of (Western) European industrial cities is often told as a tragic tale of rise and decline: from rapid industrialisation in the late 19th century and economic prosperity during the Trente glorieuses to the structural changes of the late 1970s and the subsequent deindustrialisation of the 1980s and 1990s – decades in which most mines and steelworks closed down, unemployment rates went up, new social problems emerged, workers’ identities eroded, and once prosperous urban centres became faced with shrinking populations and empty stores in their shopping streets. Finally, since the 2000s, former industrial towns have tried to reinvent themselves as creative and cultural centres. If we take a closer look, however, we can see that the socio-economic, demographic and cultural transitions were more complex than suggested by a simple rise-and-decline narrative. [less ▲]

The UPcycling using Additive Manufacturing (UpAM) project seeks to introduce an innovative educational and interactive framework to demonstrate the benefits of upcycling so that any individual can produce their own products using recycled raw materials. For years, societies have been aware that the unlimited consumption of products is unavoidably intertwined with the unlimited production of waste. This is exactly why scientists and researchers have been trying to find alternative and meaningful solutions to the Linear Economy model, a model that dictates a specific sequence of events: extracting raw materials, manufacturing products, consuming and discarding these products. Looking beyond that ‘take, make, dispose’ approach, it was in 1989 that the notion of Circular Economy (CE) was first proposed by Pearce and Turner; a concept that is restorative and regenerative and that involves reusing products, repairing, recycling and upcycling. Therefore, the core element of this innovative and environmentally-friendly model is to rely on system-wide innovative processes in order to redefine products, services and, most importantly, our way of thinking, to design waste out, thus allowing a profound transition to renewable energy sources [less ▲]

Made in Germany – Produced in America? How Dual Vocational Training Programs Can Help Close the Skills Gap in the United States

Two of the strongest education systems and economies worldwide, the United States and Germany, have been among the key sources for models in skill formation emulated globally. Public and private investments in skill formation have increased in both countries. Yet these systems maintain contrasting emphases: general and academic education in the U.S. and specific vocational training, in particular occupations, in Germany. Both countries continue to learn from each other as they compete in global education and labor markets—and continue their extensive bilateral cooperation. While both are meritocratic democracies with federal political structures, the educational institutions of Germany and the United States, especially those of vocational education and training, are quite different. This challenges the direct transfer of educational models. Yet there exists great interest among firms, politicians, and educators in praxis oriented, workplace-based, occupationally-focused education and training as it has developed over decades in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. This is because it has become the backbone of robust export-driven economies and protected these societies from the economic crisis and high unemployment rates that the U.S. has recently suffered. Thus, the German model in vocational education and training, especially dual apprenticeship, has been widely discussed, most recently by President Barack Obama in his State of the Union address, in which he envisioned implementing elements of the German dual model to address the skills gap and unemployment in the U.S. economy. The current rise of dual studies in Germany—and functionally-equivalent programs in the United States described here—shows that employers are increasingly willing to collaborate with higher education institutions to recruit talent, train workers, and upgrade skills.

L’optimisation énergétique des procédés de transformation constitue une des réponses les plus efficaces et adoptées face aux nouvelles contraintes européennes dans le secteur de l’énergie et de l’environnement. Ce travail présente comment la brasserie artisanale de Rulles (PME agro-alimentaire) peut, par une installation de biométhanisation couplée à une unité de micro-cogénération, faire de la dépollution de ses rejets d’eaux usées une production énergétique. Le bioréacteur aura comme matière première les eaux usées de la brasserie et produira du biogaz et des eaux quasiment non nocives pour l’environnement. Le biogaz produit servira de carburant pour l’unité de cogénération dont l’énergie produite sera réutilisée. Des unités de stockage tant pour la chaleur que pour le biogaz sont des éléments clés envisagés pour assurer un meilleur fonctionnement du système . Une telle installation remplira donc une double fonction : l’épuration des eaux usées d’une part et la production d’énergie d’autre part. [less ▲]

This note offers a French point of view on Dallah v. Pakistan. In this case, English courts denied recognition to an ICC arbitral award made in Paris for lack of jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal over the Government of Pakistan. Although it also briefly discusses the other issues addressed in the judgment, the note focuses on the decision of the English court to assess whether the arbitral tribunal had jurisdiction pursuant to French law despite the fact that the tribunal had reached its decision by application of transnational principles, and that French law also provides that arbitration agreements are not governed by national law, let alone the law of the seat of the arbitration, but rather by transnational principles. The note concludes that the pro-arbitration policy of the New York Convention should have led the English court to take into account French conflict of laws rules. [less ▲]
