ECOFATTING WEB SITE ICCOMCNR was the responsible of the creation of the ECOFATTING web site, containing information about the ECOFATTING project development and results. The web site created was clearly and visibly marked with Life logo. Moreover, the partners added information about the project to their corresponding corporate web sites and created a link to the web site created by ICCOMCNR. During February 2012 the web site http://www.pi.iccom.cnr.it/ecofatting/it/ has been published and it is network-accessible. The site will be periodically updated and it will contain, in its public or reserved areas, all the documents produced during the project’s activities according to the requirements foreseen in the Action 21 of the ECOFATTING project: - project description; - objectives; - actions; - progress; - results. In the home page (Figure 1 reports its immagine) are activated all the links and the project basis documents are directly accessible (example in Figure 2). The main characteristics of the ECOFATTING web site are: - web space (unlimited web contacts-statistics) until December 2014; - home page with a personalized graphic solution and construction of a total of about 50-55 web pages; the home page contains a photo gallery, pages of the project partners, announces of workshops and meetings with all the official documents produced in the project’s realization phases; - description sections of the web site in Italian, English and Spanish language; the technical documents produced during the project will be elaborated in English by ICCOMCNR and translated in Spanish by INESCOP; - a reserved area has been foreseen with a document section dedicated to the partners that is accessible by user-id and password; - the utilisation of the web site is prolonged until 31th December 2014 and on this date the site will be transformed in static HTML pages and included in ICCOMCNR servers; 4 Annex: dissemination activities LIFE10 ENV/IT/000364 5 Annex: dissemination activities LIFE10 ENV/IT/000364 Figure 1: Homepage of ECOFATTING project website, English; Italian and Spanish versions 6 Annex: dissemination activities LIFE10 ENV/IT/000364 Figure 2: Examples of link activated of ECOFATTING project website 7 Annex: dissemination activities LIFE10 ENV/IT/000364 As set out in the project proposal, since May 2012 a link has been available on INESCOP’s website (www.inescop.es) to the official project website http://www.pi.iccom.cnr.it/ecofatting/it/ (an homepage’s picture is showed in figure 3).

The following two press releases have been made related to ECOFATTING participation at the ENEA event for the 20th Anniversary of the LIFE Programme, Faenza, June 21st, 2012. 1) From “News” in www.enea.it (25/6/12) I venti anni del Programma Comunitario LIFE 25 giugno 2012 34 Annex: dissemination activities LIFE10 ENV/IT/000364 Per i venti anni del Programma Comunitario LIFE l’Unità Tecnica Tecnologie dei Materiali dell’ENEA di Faenza, insieme a Provincia di Ravenna, Comune di Faenza, Arpa Emilia Romagna, Sezione provinciale di Ravenna, hanno organizzato un convegno il 21 giugno presso il parco scientifico Tecnologico Torricelli, con il contributo della società di Monitoraggio Astrale Timesis. Avviato nel 1992 dalla Commissione europea, LIFE (lo strumento finanziario per l’ambiente) è una delle punte di diamante della politica ambientale dell’Unione europea. Esso contribuisce all’attuazione, allo sviluppo e al miglioramento delle politiche e della legislazione comunitarie in materia ambientale e all’integrazione dell’ambiente nelle altre politiche dell’UE. Questo strumento sostiene lo sviluppo di nuove soluzioni per i problemi ambientali di dimensione comunitaria ed è volto all’attuazione della politica comunitaria definita dal sesto programma d’azione per l’ambiente. Il programma è diviso in tre settori tematici, LIFE-Ambiente, LIFE-Natura e LIFEInformazione/ Comunicazione, ognuno dei quali persegue obiettivi ben precisi. Per l’occasione sono stati presentati due progetti: LIFE PODEBA "Use of poultry dejections in the bating phase of the tanning cycle", coordinato dall’Unità Tecnica dei Materiali di Faenza di ENEA, e LIFE ECOFATTING, di cui il CNR ICCOM di Pisa è capofila. Entrambi i progetti sono relativi a materiali innovativi naturali o da recupero da introdurre nel processo di concia delle pelli ed hanno due partner in comune: COLORTEX spa, azienda italiana leader nella fornitura di prodotti e servizi al settore conciario in Italia, e la spagnola INESCOP (Asociación de Investigación para la Industria del Calzado) di Elda del distretto conciario di Alicante. Rispetto al terzo partner si differenziano per avere LIFE PODEBA la Amek scrl (azienda emilianoromagnola attiva nel settore di nuovi prodotti biologici/catalizzatori e processi innovativi e sostenibili di recupero e riciclo di biomasse) e LIFE ECOFATTING la Serichim, un’industria veneta. Mediante i due progetti i ricercatori intendono dimostrare che si possono sostituire i prodotti chimici nella fase di lavorazione delle pelli con prodotti naturali. LIFE ECOFATTING è nato per voler dimostrare quanto sia possibile la sostituzione di composti chimici a base di zolfo, cloro e derivati petrolchimici - utilizzati in uno dei processi di lavorazione delle pelli - con prodotti di origine naturale che abbiano basso impatto ambientale e presentino elevate caratteristiche di economicità. I due progetti, avviati entrambi all’inizio del 2012, hanno un costo complessivo superiore ai due milioni e mezzo di euro - LIFE ECOFATTING, della durata di 30 mesi, euro 1.200.000,00 e LIFE ECOFATTING, per un periodo di vita di due anni, euro 1.500.000,00 per un contributo comunitario prossimo al 50% per ciascuno. Questi due progetti 35 Annex: dissemination activities LIFE10 ENV/IT/000364 contribuiranno efficacemente al successo dell’immagine del Made In Italy della fiorente industria conciaria italiana che ha seguaci in tutto il mondo per design e qualità dei prodotti. 2) “External” press release (21/06/12) COMUNICATO STAMPA Se ne parlerà giovedì 21 giugno, alle ore 10, al Parco scientifico Tecnologico Torricelli in un convegno organizzato da ENEA UTTMATF (Unità Tecnica Tecnologie dei Materiali) insieme a Provincia di Ravenna, Comune di Faenza, Arpa ER - Sezione provinciale di Ravenna, con il contributo della società di Monitoraggio Astrale Timesis IL VENTENNALE DELLO STRUMENTO LIFE ENEA UTTMATF (Unità Tecnica Tecnologie dei Materiali) di Faenza organizza giovedì 21 giugno 2012 alle ore 10 a Faenza, al Parco Scientifico Tecnologico Torricelli (Sala Convegni, Via Granarolo 62 – Faenza) un evento dedicato ai venti anni del PROGRAMMA COMUNITARIO LIFE.
