ENABLER’s final objectives are to assemble, demonstrate and test a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) short stack - functional energy generation device - with reduced platinum content (0.3 mgPt/cm2) and free of perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) compounds matching the performance of the current state-of-the-art PFSA-containing PEMFCs and, in parallel, to ensure market readiness for the technologies. The project will lay the foundation for more widespread exploitation of hydrogen power by enabling more efficient use of Pt as a critical raw material, providing improved performance and durability with advanced intermetallic Pt-alloy catalysts materials; achieving higher operating temperatures of PEMFCs (105 °C) by replacing conventional PFSA ionomers and membranes with novel hydrocarbon (HC) materials and, consequently removing the toxic perfluorinated compounds out of PEMFC manufacturing, resulting in positive effect on the economy and society. Thus, ENABLER’s long-term objective is to improve the commercial viability of PEMFC and ramp up its mass use to decarbonize transport and energy sectors. ENABLER will reach the tech objectives by designing a set of interrelated activities: (i) catalyst finetuning to ensure compatibility with the HC materials (ii) CCM production processes finetuning and CCM fabrication with advanced catalyst, HC membranes and ionomers integrated (iii) fabrication and validation of single cells and short stack. Business objectives will be achieved through market validation activities, performance of techno-economic and investment analysis as well as business plan creation and IPR management activities. The ENABLER consortium is designed to create a non-existing PFSA-free European value-chain requiring a minimum of critical resources - with ReCatalyst being responsible for catalyst, ionysis – CCM fabrication and EKPO – PEMFC technology. All partners will work on market readiness to ensure the value chain sustainability in the future.

Context & Objectivesinvisible talents is based on the observation that older and especially very old people tend to become invisible in our society. They have left the workforce, they are less present on our streets, they have almost vanished from the media. The older a person gets the more he/she is less likely to be regarded as someone who has something to give and to participate meaningfully.In contrast to that, we think that everybody has something to give. Older and very old people carry with them a treasure of memories, experiences, knowledge and competencies (‘talents’). We believe that giving older people the opportunity to (re-)discover and contribute all the experience, knowledge and talents they have acquired in their long lives – as men and women with families, friends, paid and voluntary work, studies, hobbies and passions – not only makes our society richer and more colorful but also combats negative stereotyping and ageism. Given this background, the main idea of our project was to make the talents of older and very old people – in communities and organisations – (more) visible and to enhance their social participation. We supported older people and organisations working directly with older and very old people to:•self-reflect the status quo of participation and engagement opportunities in their organisation.•develop concrete activities that promote the engagement of older people and make their talents visible.Activities To achieve these objectives, partners in five EU countries realised reflection workshops and meetings with 27 organizations in residential and community settings. In cooperation with organisations activities to boost the visibility and estimation of older men and women have been developed. When we worked with organisations, it was very important both for us and them to stress the fact that making talents visible does not require huge sums of money and other resources or major organisational transformations. Interventions in partner countries involved activities that •make older people think about their interests and talents (e.g. Dream Factory meetings, workshops), •stimulate the reflection of stakeholders, staff and citizens (e.g. workshops, events)•make talents visible to many (e.g. videos, booklets, portrays of older people, newspaper articles) and•support organisations in needs-based planning.Detailed information on the invisible talents approach and activities implemented are summarized in the Brochure “Everybody has something to give”. Furthermore, an E-Presentation provides background information, inspirational examples and practical tools to increase the visibility of older people’s talents in their communities and in organisations. The invisible talents team has also developed an Online Self-Reflection Tool – a quick, free and anonymous online test that provides organisations with the possibility to see in a few minutes how they are doing with regard to the participation of older people and to start a reflection process about possible ways to improve this participation. A choice of the methods applied with the organisations and older people in the self-reflection processes, e.g. in workshops, can be found in the Toolbox. These tools inspire to fight ageism, (re-)discover wishes and interests and take a step towards the increased visibility of older men and women. Translations of all outcomes in the national languages of the five partners are accessible on the invisible talents website: www.invisible-talents.eu.Partnersinvisible talents was implemented by partners working in the fields of social policy and research, socialgerontology and adult education in Austria (queraum. cultural and social research), Germany (ISIS Sozialforschung · Sozialberatung · Politikberatung ), Italy (Lunaria), Lithuania (Vytautas Magnus University Kaunas) and the Netherlands (Stichting Bij de Tijd).Results & impactIn total 200 professionals, such as social workers, professional carers, professionals working with older volunteers, representatives of communities, stakeholders and 127 older people participated in our reflection workshops and meetings. In cooperation with organisations in total 23 activities have been realised, involving 129 staff members, 10 students and 670 older and very old people. Furthermore, 134 older people, experts and practitioners have been involved in interviews and national multiplier events. That means, in total up to 1270 people directly benefited from the invisible talents project. Furthermore, a high number of stakeholders were involved in our dissemination activities. On EU level, due to cooperation with AGE Platform Europe, governmental organizations, policy makers and interest groups have been regularly informed on the project and outcomes. Sustainability is guaranteed as (cooperation-) partners are motivated to contniue their activities and stand up for the social participation and visibility of older people.

One of the reasons European Union 2020 strategies exists is aging population across Europe and economic difficulties it would cause in the future. As the population ages, chronic diseases and the number of the elderly who need care increases.According to the World Health Organization two thirds of the elderly European population has one form of a chronic disease; prevalence of chronic diseases among younger age groups are also in the rise.While the elderly, disabled and people with chronic diseases continue living at their own home most of them need informal home care.Because of the lack of knowledge and skills of the care givers the quality of life of both who need care and who provides is negatively affected. In increasing quality of life of both two groups it is important that the care givers have sufficient knowledge, appropriate approach and necessary skill in providing care to those who need. In this context, there is not any suitable educational program which will enrich people’s adequacy in providing care as either family member or informal home care provider. Thus, the project aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills in informal home care by integrated use of ICTs and open educational resources (OER).This project aims to create a concrete outcome, a Home Care Training Program which can be used across Europe at related public and private institutions to provide correct and adequate home care training to patients, their relatives, helpers and informal home care providers so they can provide better home care to those in need. In this context, the following activities were performed to achieve this objective; 1) Develop and operate the Home Care Education Resource Platform 2) Develop training of trainers guidelines 3) Carry out the “home care survey” assessment in 4 project partner countries 4) Develop “Informal Home Carer Training Module and material 5) Translate training content into 4 languages 6) Conduct field trials of the “training module and materials” for evaluation and validation Methodology used in carrying out the project; • The project Home Care Europe OER Platform was constituted at the beginning of the project and it contains all training materials, open digital tools and project information, which was developed during the project. • Identification of Training Needs:After the literature review, conducting WHOQOL(100-BREEF-OLD) life quality scale, survey was conducted by partners about the level and quality of home care an evaluation report was produced. • Guideline for Trainers: was created in collaboration with the partners after the literature review. • Training Content and Module Development:With a collaborative approach with partners, according to the needs of the target group, (the elderly, disabled and people with chronic diseases) a home care training program was created.The program had modules like communication, psychologic support, preventative care etc. • Implementation of Home Care Europe Training,Testing,Validating and Finalization: Training modules were implemented in 4 countries and validated. After the pre-test and post test and observation during the implementation were done validating and finalization of the training program. • Dissemination and Expositions: At the beginning of the project creating the projects blogs, social networking sites such as Facebook, twitter and was shared in all partner’s institutional web pages.Multiplier events conducted in all partner countries. • The project’s results; 1) Home Care Europe OER Platform 2) Identification Training Needs 3) Guideline for Trainers 4) Training Content and Module Development 5) Implementation of Home Care Europe Training, testing and validating and finalisation 6) Dissemination and expositions(seminars, blogs etc.) There were 5 partner organizations form 4 countries. One of the partners was a university, 2 of the partners were NGO, working especially with disadvantaged groups, 2 of the partners were social science research training institute, providing health care services for patients and supportive services for patient relatives too. The project target groups were the elderly, disabled and people with chronic diseases who lived at their home and can lead half independent life, who needed home care help of some sort while living at their home; and those people called informal home care providers for them either relatives or helpers. The project other stakeholders were the Ministries of Health, Ministries of Family and Social Policies,public and private hospitals, all members of families and at last the society. Ministries of Health, Ministries of Family and Social Policies,public and private hospitals can use Home Training Program. All target groups reached the open training tools from project OER Platform and improved their knowledge on Home Care.
