  • EUropean Innovation Partnership (EIP) - Raw materials - Enterprise and Industry
    RAW MATERIALS European Innovation Partnership (EIP), 2013
    Co-Authors: European Commission
    Abstract:

    The supply of raw materials, the lifeblood of today's high-tech industry, is increasingly under pressure. With a view to increasing the availability of raw materials for EUrope, the EUropean Commission has proposed a EUropean Innovation Partnership on raw materials.\n\n\nInnovation can be a powerful vehicle in meeting EUrope's challenges in the field of raw materials. For example, new technologies can help to extract deeper, in more remote areas and under harsh conditions.\n\nAction is also needed to develop substitutes for critical raw materials and to improve recycling of, among others, the 17 kg electric and electronic equipment waste that each EU Citizen produces annually today.\n\nThe current situation calls for targeted innovation and research efforts, breakthrough technologies and multidisciplinary approaches, as well as demand-side interventions (e.g. standards, public procurement, regulatory measures).\n\nThe Innovation Partnership brings together, among others, EU countries, companies, researchers and NGOs to promote innovative solutions to EUrope's raw materials challenge.\n\nWhat's new\n\nRaw Materials University Day \textendash launching event, 6 December 2013, in Rome\n\nConference on the EIP on Raw Materials, 5 December 2013\n\nCall for Commitments , 31 October 2013 - 31 January 2014

  • The Combined Effect of Qualifications and Marriage on the Employment Trajectories of Peruvian Graduates in Switzerland
    Journal of International Migration and Integration, 2019
    Co-Authors: Romina Seminario, Nicky Le Feuvre
    Abstract:

    Much research to date has shown that migrants from the Global South to the wealthier nations of the North often experience a devaluation of their educational credentials, notably because their initial qualifications are not recognised in their host countries. The limited validity of educational achievements is often identified as the main cause of the relatively unfavourable labour market outcomes of highly skilled migrants, who tend to be concentrated in the least prestigious employment sectors and to bare an unequal share of precarious jobs. In this article, we adopt a slightly different approach to this issue, by focussing on the professional and personal trajectories of migrants who acquired education credentials in their host country. Although previous research has stressed the difficulties faced by non-EU students in Swiss HE institutions, both in terms of successfully completing their educational programme and in finding qualified jobs afterwards, the aim of the article is to better understand the gender dynamics that are associated with post-graduation employment trajectories. By examining the employment outcomes of Peruvian graduates, from Swiss Higher Education (HE) institutions, we are able to reveal the influence of educational credentials on their subsequent life-course is mediated by events in other life spheres. Using a gender-sensitive approach, we analyse the effects of legal barriers and family dynamics on the employment trajectories of migrant graduates. We show that obtaining a Swiss HE qualification is rarely enough to guarantee access to the upper reaches of the Swiss labour market. In most cases, such qualifications need to be combined with marriage to a Swiss (or EU) Citizen before these highly qualified migrants are able to settle legally in the host country and start a career that is congruent to their educational credentials. However, the family rEUnification route into legal residency is not without its own hazards. For women in particular, it may cancel out some of the advantages associated with having a Swiss qualification and lead to precarious or under-qualified positions on the labour market.

  • the political constitution of the EU Citizen rights regime
    Journal of European Public Policy, 2011
    Co-Authors: Tore Vincents Olsen
    Abstract:

    Reactions to decisions by the EUropean Court of Justice (ECJ) demonstrate that the political institutions in the Union should take responsibility for the development of the structure of the EUropean Union's (EU) Citizen rights regime. This article analyses different political views on the EU Citizen rights regime. It argues that the disagreement between them is largely a disagreement between ‘reasonable views’. The disagreement is mainly based on different views about the levels (EUropean, national) at which individuals are to be seen as equals and about the contribution of different communities and institutions to the good life of Citizens, both individually and collectively. Taking the contestation between the different views seriously, the article argues in favour of political constitutionalism, according to which the development of the EU Citizen rights regime is the responsibility of political rather than judicial institutions.
