Ces dernières années, la question de la localisation est de plus en plus au centre des débats des bailleurs de fonds, des acteurs internationaux et nationaux des programmes humanitaires et de développement. Un engagement a été pris en ce sens lors du Sommet humanitaire mondial (WHS) à Istanbul en 2016, dans le cadre du « Grand Bargain » mis en place par les principaux bailleurs et acteurs opérationnels. Cela implique des évolutions dont le financement direct aux organisations d'aide locales, le renforcement de leurs capacités, la reconnaissance de la légitimité des autorités locales, etc.

Le Catholic Relief Services (CRS), soutient ardemment la vision continue du Grand Bargain d'un système humanitaire plus efficace, efficient et équitable, et reste déterminé à faire progresser ses priorités clés de localisation et de financement de qualité.

En mai 2023, CRS a organisé un forum national sur la localisation aux fins de susciter les réflexions autour de l'opérationnalisation de la localisation. Une année après la tenue de ce forum CRS a entrepris d'organiser la Journée du Leadership Local aux fins surtout d'offrir aux Organisations nationales et internationales une plateforme d'échanges, de partage d'expériences et d'apprentissage. La journée du leadership local se tiendra le mardi 23 juillet 2024 de 8h30 à 15h00 à l'hôtel Royal Beach à Ouagadougou sous le thème : « La responsabilité des OSC/ONG Nationales et les Associations de Développement, dans la réussite du leadership local (localisation) ».

La participation à cette journée du Leadership Local est libre et gratuite. Elle est ouverte aux organisations locales/nationales et internationales intervenant dans le développement et l'humanitaire, aux particuliers, aux chercheurs, étudiants aux médias et à toute personne intéressée par les questions de la localisation (leadership local).

Under the Hub for European Defence Innovation (HEDI), the Agency is organizing the first EU Defence Innovation Operational Experimentation Campaign, which is set to take place in the summer of 2025 in Italy. As part of the Hub’s Uptake of Innovation service, this initiative aims to accelerate and streamline the integration of emerging technologies into military capabilities through immersive operational and technical field testing in a collaborative and agile environment.

The first edition will focus on Autonomous Systems for Cross-domain Logistics. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Unmanned Ground Systems (UGS) have demonstrated their potential as key technologies. Their role in modern military tasks is increasingly integral, particularly for cross-domain operations and logistical support, significantly enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in challenging environments.

This initiative's collaborative engagement with a diverse range of technological service providers - from defence, dual-use, and civilian background – will drive future technological advancements and offers significant benefits to participants. These include extensive operational experimentation in an EU advanced military test site, interactions with key expert from EU Member States, exposure to emerging scenarios and innovative use cases, and an active role shaping potential future collaborations, positioning participants at the forefront of EU Defence Innovation and future opportunities.

The Call for Tenders seeks service providers to offer UAS and UGS solutions for Lots 1-6 and support Operational Experimentation in Lot 7. This open call for tenders is open to economic operators from the Member States and subcontractors from non-EU countries. Single Framework Contracts (FWC) will be awarded as per below:

Lot 1: Low Cost Attritable Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

Field testing of innovative UAS Class I MICRO and/or MINI solutions for delivering small payloads (under 10 kg) using low-cost, attritable platforms. The lot envisions using multiple platforms to overcome the limitations of transporting smaller payloads through distributed logistical supply concepts for mass delivery. At least three complete UAS must be submitted (TRL>5).

FWC Max. Estimated Budget: EUR 200,000 Lot 2: Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Systems)

Field testing of innovative UAS Class I MINI and/or SMALL solutions for transporting payloads up to 50 kg using Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) platforms with a reduced logistical footprint. At least two complete UAS must be submitted (TRL>5).

FWC Max. Estimated Budget: EUR 300,000 Lot 3: Heavy Lift Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

Field testing of innovative UAS Class II and/or Class III solutions for transporting heavy payloads above 50 kg using Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL). This includes, if possible, the ability to perform CASEVAC (Casualty Evacuation) scenarios. At least one complete UAS and a spare / Almost-Ready-To-Fly (ARTF) must be submitted (TRL>5).

FWC Max. Estimated Budget: EUR 500,000 Lot 4: Low cost Attritable Unmanned Ground Systems (UGS) – EUR 100,000

Field testing of innovative UGS SMALL solutions for delivering small payloads (under 100 kg) using low-cost, attritable platforms. The lot envisions using multiple platforms to overcome the limitations of transporting smaller payloads through distributed logistical supply concepts for mass delivery. The locomotion types of the platforms can be either biomimetic, wheeled or tracked. At least three complete UGS must be submitted (TRL>5).

FWC Max. Estimated Budget: EUR 200,000 Lot 5: Medium Wheeled Logistical Unmanned Ground Systems (UGS) – EUR 250,000

Field testing of innovative UGS MEDIUM WHEELED solutions for transporting heavy payloads between 100 and 1000 kg. This includes, if possible, the ability to perform CASEVAC (Casualty Evacuation) scenarios. At least three complete UGS must be submitted (TRL>5).

FWC Max. Estimated Budget: EUR 500,000 Lot 6: Medium Tracked Logistical Unmanned Ground Systems (UGS) – EUR 250,000

Field testing of innovative UGS MEDIUM TRACKED solutions for transporting heavy payloads between 100 and 1000 kg. This includes, if possible, the ability to perform CASEVAC (Casualty Evacuation) scenarios. At least three complete UGS must be submitted (TRL>5).

FWC Max. Estimated Budget: EUR 500,000 Lot 7: OPEX Support Team

This lot focuses on providing support services which include developing a methodology to assess product/prototype capability maturity and creating an experimental design with clear objectives, hypotheses, and methodologies in collaboration with EDA and MS representatives. It includes planning and executing the experimental campaign with EDA, the Host Member State, and Contractors (Lot1-6), analyzing collected data for actionable insights on DOTMLPFI implications, and supporting the organization of a VIP demonstration day to showcase results to high-ranked stakeholders.

FWC Max. Estimated Budget: EUR 700,000

The Macroeconomics research department at DIW Berlin analyses macroeconomic relationships using empirical and theoretical methods. The department's research is divided into three subject areas: economic policy of the European Monetary Union, macroeconomics and distribution, and macroeconomic aspects of climate change. The researchers’ work involves developing models and generating data sets. The research results form the basis for the forecasting infrastructure and policy advice. The results flow directly into the forecasts of DIW Berlin and the Joint Economic Forecast.

We are looking for up to four trainees (f/m/div) (full-time).

Americas GE Aerospace has demonstrated a dual-mode Ramjet (DMRJ) engine that could enable the development of more efficient long-range hypersonic aircraft and missiles. A threefold airflow increase was demonstrated by the engine compared to previous hypersonic demonstrators, according to the company. Testing began at an Evendale, Ohio, testing facility in March just 11 months after the launch of design efforts. Louisiana-based Bollinger Shipyards has joined a trilateral project between the US, Canada, and Finland to create icebreaker vessels that will help secure the Arctic region. Revealed by the White House during the 2024 NATO Summit, the Icebreaker Collaboration Effort or ICE Pact seeks a “best-in-class” fleet that will address the “expanding presence” of potential enemies and competitors in the High North. Middle East & Africa Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday announced the imminent end of his government’s operations against Kurdish PKK fighters in northern Iraq and Syria. Turkey began its Operation Claw-Lock in April 2022, claiming it needed to secure its border with northern Iraq, from where it accused Kurdish separatists of launching attacks on Turkish territory. “We will very soon complete the lockdown of the area of operation in northern Iraq,” Erdogan said, adding that Kurdish forces were now “incapable […]
