This coincides neatly with their law<br \/>\nfaculty&#8217;s promotion of environmental issues. As has DCU via their National<br \/>\nCentre for Sensor Research. I have friends in all these places. <\/p>\n<p>Part of the operation of this network would involve testing for a range of<br \/>\npollutants, transmission of pollutant information to a central coordinating<br \/>\npoint in real-time, real-time statistical trend analysis to determine<br \/>\nenvironmental risk factors at any particular time and environmental crisis<br \/>\nmanagement. The creation of a greater european network with the involvedment<br \/>\nof european and worldwide NGOs operating in the area of environmental would<br \/>\nenable european wide environmental issues to be analysed on a per country<br \/>\nbasis and could help direct european environmental policy through the<br \/>\nprovision of real-time accurate data about air pollution, water pollution<br \/>\netc. THe IST programme is great for funding such a project as:<br \/>\n&#8211; they have millions to spend on this particular programme<br \/>\n&#8211; the love Integrated Projects which are large-scale work programmes with<br \/>\ncommercial, non-profit and academic interests throughout europe.<br \/>\n&#8211; we&#8217;re hitting all the current Information and Communication Technology<br \/>\n(ICT) buzzwords including &#8220;sensor-nets&#8221;, &#8220;enviromental risk management&#8221;,<br \/>\n&#8220;ambient intelligence&#8221;, &#8220;mesh networks&#8221;&#8230; Wow, be still my beating<br \/>\ntechnophiliac heart honey!<\/p>\n<p>I suggest you have a serious think about this as I&#8217;d love to write a<br \/>\nproposal in this area, my track record in obtaining funding is damn good &amp;<br \/>\nit would pay for the following:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; trips to brussels and other major european cities to disseminate<br \/>\ninformation at conferences on IT and the enviroment<br \/>\n&#8211; consultancy fees for all concerned for the next 3 years<br \/>\n&#8211; the development and deployment of pollution measurement equipments<br \/>\nthroughout ireland.<br \/>\n&#8211; rigorous scientific analysis of pollution issues through collaboration<br \/>\nWith leading universities in the area.<br \/>\n&#8211; legal assistance from major national and european firms<br \/>\n&#8211; the creation of signifigant intellectual property associated with<br \/>\ninnovative technologies for risk management.<br \/>\n&#8211; &amp; much more besides !!!!<\/p>\n<p>Have I told you lately that I love u?
