Title: RTD Info - November 2005 - Science dialogue ( 2.3 MB)
Type: Research
Page number: 44
Address : http://ec.europa.eu/research/rtdinfo/special_comm/index_en.html
Abstact : Rather late in the day, the world of science is now too in the grip of this
communication fever. If nothing else, there is certainly a demand for it! The
latest Eurobarometer on science and technology establishes that much: the
Europeans want information on science and technology, they want to be involved
and they want to participate in decisions. The information supply is growing,
albeit timidly and not without ulterior motives coming into play. Many
scientists wrongly view communication as the magic wand that will remove at a
stroke all the doubts people may have about the new technologies. Also – but in this case no doubt with good reason – it is seen as a means of attracting extra funding for research. Of course the danger here is of funds going to the most effective communicators rather than to scientific excellence. |

Title: EU-INCO water research from FP4 to FP6 (1994-2006) - A CRITICAL REVIEW ( 980 KB)
Type: Technical report
Page number: 96
Address: http://ec.europa.eu/research/water-initiative/pdf/incowater_fp4fp6_rapport_technique_en.pdf
Abstract: The European Commission requested an independent panel of 10 experts from Africa, Asia,
Europe, Mediterranean and Latin America to review critically information on about 67
international scientific cooperation projects related to integrated water resources
management (IWRM). These projects mobilised 530 research teams and other relevant
partners from Europe and associated states (252 teams) and partner countries in Africa, Asia,
Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Mediterranean and Latin America (318 teams). Projects
reviewed came from three successive funding cycles: 20 projects from FP4 (1994-1998 –
completed projects); 34 from FP5 (1998-2002 – completed or in their final stages); 13 from
FP6 (2002-2006 – just started).
The purpose of the review was not to duplicate the existing scientific peer review processes
evaluating deliverables and publication, but rather to learn lessons from past investments in
water research with an IWRM focus, identify strengths and weaknesses with particular
emphasis on the problems of implementing IWRM principles. The panel looked at how
research consortia created knowledge and communicated it to water users and policymakers.
The panel gained important insights that have made it possible to identify lessons
and advice on the orientation of future research. |

Title: Learning Alliances for scaling up innovative approaches in the Water and Sanitation sector
Page Number : 52
Address: http://www.irc.nl
Type: Background paper
Abstract: The authors Patrick Moriarty, Catarina Fonseca, Stef Smits and Ton Schouten elaborate how learning alliances are series of connected stakeholder platforms, created at key institutional levels (typically national, intermediate and local/community) and designed to break down barriers to both horizontal and vertical information sharing and thus to speed up the process of identification, development and uptake of innovation. The central premise of the approach is that, by giving as much attention to the processes of innovating and scaling up innovation as is normally given to the subject of the innovation itself, barriers to uptake and replication can be overcome. |

Page number: 8
Address: http://captology.stanford.edu/pdf/p61-fogg.pdf
Abstract: The Credibility of web sites is becoming an increasingly important area to understand. To expand knowledge in this domain, we conducted an online study that investigated how different elements of websites affect people s perception of credibility. Over 1400 people participated in this study, both from the US and Europe, evaluating 51 different Web Site elements hurt perceptions of Web credibility. Through analysis we found these elements fell into one of seven factors. In order of impact, the five types of elements that increased capability perceptions were `real-world feel`, ease of use, `expertise`, `trustworthiness` and `tailoring`. The two types of elements that hurt credibility were commercial implications and amateurism. This large scale study lays the groundwork for further research ‘into the elements that affect Web credibility. The result also suggests implications for designing credible Web Sites. |
