As the 2007-2013 Rural Development Programme comes to a close, we are looking forward to readying ourselves for the 2014-2020 programme.A series of workshops are planned so local people can get involved with the planning of funding strategies.
Delivery of programme funding is through the LEADER approach, which is a bottom-up programme, designed to be developed at a grass roots level, to deliver funding for the most appropriate localities, business sectors and communities, to develop and sustain the rural economy.
It is important for good attendance at these workshops to ensure we gather as much input as possible to build a strong strategy for the proposed action group area and give it the best chance of obtaining funding in the next round.

As the Southern North Sea matures decommissioning is now a reality for many operators and is certainly on the radar for others.
Estimated decommissioning costs for the UK side of SNS published by the OGA are in the region of £7bn with the Netherlands forecasts also significant. For operators decommissioning is an expense, with no profits therefore working collaboratively with other operators and key stakeholders will be essential to help reduce these burdensome costs. Know-how, innovative solutions and technologies will be vital, and these reciprocal events are a major Southern North Sea effort to bring Operators and Supply Chain companies together to collectively come up with the best solutions to lowering decommissioning costs.
The UK Hackathon will feature presentations from UK & Dutch operators including Shell, Sprit Energy and Oranje Nassau who will each share their current challenges in decommissioning followed by interactive sessions to discuss potential solutions. A number of the key challenges will be shared prior to the event and undoubtedly many more will emerge during the interactive sessions. These discussions will be captured and shared with attendees, and will be an invaluable source of information to the supply chain providing guidance and direction as to what areas of innovation their potential clients are looking for. It will also be a unique opportunity to make new operator contacts across the wider UK/ Netherlands basin.
There is an acceptance many cost saving solutions lie with the contractor community and these events have in the past proved effective in bringing together service companies with potential clients to highlight their innovative and problem-solving approach.
This is an invitation only event with limited spaces so please respond completing and returning the form (which can be found on the event page by clicking the links shown below) by 14th September. As mentioned above there will be interactive sessions and it will be important that attendees will have the relevant expertise to discuss their solutions/ideas articulately with the operator project specialists. Please complete the form with how many participants you wish to send, their name and area of expertise/job title and what they can bring to the event which will be free to attend.
EEEGR Marine SIG are pleased to co-host a prestigious technical meeting in partnership with the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) at Norwich City Football Club. This venue has ample parking and is about 10 minute’s walk from Norwich Railway Station.
Site investigations in the nearshore and shallow water can present unique challenges, with potentially significant variations in ground conditions, bathymetry and environmental parameters within individual development sites and construction time scales. Investigations may be for a range of purposes – from providing baseline environmental information and site characterisation through to informing engineering decisions and infrastructure siting.
Since the first ‘Shallow Water … Deep Trouble’ meeting was held in 2005 in Norwich, there have been major advances in data acquisition technology, analytical techniques, data processing and visualization, that have improved site investigation practice and advanced our understanding of the shallow water zone. This meeting will report on a range of approaches to shallow water site investigation, as well as providing an update on recent methodological advances, that allow for successful site investigations in a challenging environment. The meeting will be of interest to all those working in nearshore and shallow waters – with contributions from industry, academia, contractors and consultants.

Multivariate data abound in many applications including insurance, risk management, finance, biology, health and environmental sciences. Copulas are a currently popular way to model multivariate data as they account for the dependence structure and provide a flexible representation of the multivariate distribution. They allow for flexible dependence modelling, different from assuming simple linear correlation structures and normality, which makes them particularly well suited to many applications in finance, insurance and medicine, among others.
Course objectives This 2-day short course:
Introduces and develops the theoretical aspects of dependence modeling with copulas both for continuous and discrete multivariate data.
Presents real-data applications of multivariate copulas describing features of existing copula software.
Presents the latest developments both in theory and practice.
Target Audience The course is intended for actuarial practitioners, risk professionals, consultants and academics. Course Outcomes After the course, the participants will have a firm knowledge on the theory of copulas and the use of copulas for dependence modelling in finance, actuarial science and medicine. The course is worth 10 CPD hours.
Course Leader Dr Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos has worked extensively with copula dependence modelling for discrete data with applications in biostatistics and his research has also included work on copula dependence modelling for continuous data with applications in finance, and environmental studies. His work on copulas has appeared in some of the most prestigious journals in Statistics and he has been invited speaker to numerous international and major conferences, workshops, and seminars all over the world. He has also been invited to give copula courses in other international institutions such as the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Course Delivery Dates: 17-18 September, 2012 Cost: £575 + VAT Venue: UEA London There is a 10% discount for UEA alumni, 30% discount for academics and 50% discount for postgraduate students.
