Objective
THE AIM OF THE PROJECT WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING AN ANALYSING STRUCTURE CAPABLE OF :
-TESTING HYPOTHESES ABOUT THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF THE RNR (E.G. BETWEEN AQUATIC AND TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS)
-EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF MAN'S ACTIVITIES ON THE RNR SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR THOSE WITH LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES (DEFORESTATION, WETLAND DRAINAGE, INCREASE OF CO2 IN THE ATMOSPHERE, NITRATE RUN-OFF INTO WATER COURSES, ETC)
-MEASURING THE IMPLICATIONS AND CONSEQUENCES OF ALTERATIONS IN THE BEHAVIOUR OF ACTORS IN THE PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SECTORS (NEW INDUSTRIAL STRATEGIES, ALTERNATIVE COMMUNITY POLICIES, REVISION OF THE REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE FORMEWORK, ETC)
- DEFINING THE FIELDS FOR WHICH THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY (OR SUCH MULTI-NATIONAL AGGREGATES AS THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN) CONSTITUTES A RELEVANT SPACE FOR ANALYSIS.
THE METHOD USED COMPRISED :
14. CATEGORISATION OF EXISTING MODELS IN TERMS OF THEIR SUITABILITY FOR USE WITHIN AN ANALYSING STRUCTURE.
APPRAISAL OF TYPES OF ANALYSING STRUCTURE IN TERMS OF COST, IMPLEMENTATION TIME AND APPROPRIATENESS TO COMMUNITY NEEDS.
3. EXAMINATION OF COMPARABLE SYSTEMS OPERATING IN OTHER INSTITUTIONS.
4. CONSULTATION WITH STAFF OF THE COMMISSION DIRECTORATES TO DEFINE THE SUSES WHICH POLICY ADVISERS WOULD MAKE OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM.
ACTIVITIES DURING THE PROJECT CONSISTED OF GENERATING A SUCCESSION OF CONCEPTUAL STRUCTURES; MODIFYING AND AMENDING EACH IN TURN AS A RESULT OF THROUGHT EXPERIMENTS AND OF DIALOGUE WITH EXPERTS AND POTENTIAL USERS. A RANGE OF ASPECTS WERE KEPT CONSTANTLY IN THE FIELD OF ATTENTION :
- THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF USERS AND HOW THESE WILL EVOLVE OVER TIME.
- THE AVAILABILITY OF SPECIAL SOFTWARE (E.G. GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS) AND THE WAY IN WHICH THIS WILL AFFECT THE SYSTEM.
- THE ROLES OF STAFF WHO WILL ASSIST IN THE USE OF THE SYSTEM AND ITS EVOLUTION.
- THE ORGANISATIONAL CONTEXT OF THE SYSTEM.
SUBSTANCIAL CHANGES IN THE FORM OF THE STRUCTURE RESULTED FROM THE DISCUSSIONS HELD FOR COMMISSION STAFF AND EXPERTS AT A WORKSHOP PART WAY THROUGH THE PROJECT.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
