NPP Products and Services Project Examples.
NPP Products and Services Definition:
All projects should develop a tangible product or service, which is what the concept of added value
refers to. Each project must make a distinctive contribution and add value by developing concrete,
tangible and innovative new products or services. In programme terms, this is defined as:

by working together to produce a new product that has a transnational or transregional
character.

by working together to produce a new service that has a transnational or transregional
character.
-
This means to produce an item/product or to develop a service that can be used widely within the
programme area and if possible beyond.
-
In addition to outlining the type of products or services to be developed, applicants must describe
the functionality of the product or service and its future after the funding ends.
NPP widening the definition of Products and Services
The definition of products and services will be widened for the Sixth Call. From 3rd of
February 2010, the wider definition already applies to preparatory projects. The
wider definition includes in addition to the previous slide:

Transfer and adaptation of existing products and services from one region into
transnational or transregional solutions

Update and adaptation of existing transnational or transregional products and
services with additional features
Projects and Products!.... The WATER project (Warning of Algal
Toxic Events).

Product/Services... Not all of them!




Establishing sample testing facilities on local level
Bespoke transnational training in the use of ‘ELISA’ Kits enabling rapid water toxin detection
for SMEs in the shellfish industry product and service particularly useful for Shetland and The Faroe Islands.
HAB prediction(Harmful Algal Blooms): Sensors to predict the occurrence of algal blooms.
Why the products are needed in the NPP...
1. Monitoring biotoxins in shellfish is very important! However... Peripheral regions suffer from
‘time lags’ between offshore testing and results reporting = recall of harvested shellfish, loss of
earnings, and economic development barriers.
2.The Northern Periphery coastal zone is ideal for Shellfish aquaculture.
3.The industry provides employment and economic development in remote coastal regions. (It is a
fast growing industry).
Warning of Algal Toxin Events (WATER) continued..




It is innovative because....

SPATT technology utilised

New prediction model on occurrence and type of toxic event developed

Analytical kits tailored for conditions of the shellfish industry in NPP area

Local test centres; results within 24 hours, less disruption of shellfish harvest

Provision of chemical testing methods instead of common biological tests.
Knowledge transfer:

Earlier projects funded by FP 6 and INTERREG NW Europe

Planned connections to i.e. UNESCO project in harmful algal blooming

Direct involvement of SMEs in development and implementation of products and services planned
Organisational learning and partnership constellation:

Marine Science Institutes, Fisheries Laboratories, Universities, Interest organisation, representing 43
companies involved in fish processing and shellfish growing
Transnational impact:

New approaches to efficient and sustainable management of natural resources in Norway, Scotland, Faroe
Islands, Ireland

Clearly addressing issues of remote coastal areas in the NPP region

Development of surveillance systems to supervise marine ecosystems and toxic alleges; Products and
services to be developed transnational and made available across the region
WATER Products and Services.
Deployment of a
sediment sampler off
Ireland.
SPATT bags deployed to allow evaluation of this early
warning mechanism of potential shellfish toxicity.
Training members of the
shellfish industry.
Cooperation for Safety in Sparsely Populated Areas, Co-safe

Product/Services... Not all of them!

The “GUIDE System” (online mapping of recue equipment based on Google map)

Pre Hospital therapy in harsh weather conditions.

The “Katie Stretcher”

Tool Kit for major accident response, planning, and managing.
Information DVD (how to get out of cold water when involved in an accident)

Why the products are needed in the NPP...
1. Increasing preparedness of managing major accidents in rural areas, identifying related risks to
climate, cold, darkness, and weather conditions is important!
2. Identifying risks relating to changing climate, cold and harsh weather, and darkness
1. The Northern periphery is remote with vast distances, extreme weather, and natural barriers for
rescue operations.
Cooperation for Safety in Sparsely Populated Areas, Co-safe
continued...


It is innovative because...

New enhanced safety products and services covering different perspectives and the full
spectrum from scene of the accident via- pre-hospital care to full hospital care, suitable for the
special conditions in NPP area (harsh climate, sparsely populated)
Knowledge transfer:

Based on knowledge from project in INTERREG IIIB NPP and Barents Rescue

Interactive VR-based training simulators for collaborative international accidents and disaster
management and steering

Organisational learning and partnership constellation:

Hospitals, Universities, Rescue Services, Research Institutes, Municipalities

Transnational impact:

Joint NPP strategy for increased safety in sparsely populated areas

Risk analysis for international purposes

International preparedness service solution for major traffic and aircraft accidents in sparsely
populated areas
