Q-plan International
Kipa Crawn
Our journey begins from Thessaloniki, in 2000, as Q-PLAN North Greece. We build upon our team and keep improving, all while delivering value for each client and project in line with their unique needs. Along the way, we invest in trust, underpinning our relations with honesty and responsibly meeting our commitments. This is how we have developed an expanding network of selected collaborations at local, national and international level.
The European BIOTRANSFORM project aims to provide European policy makers with an appropriate assessment and policy development framework, knowledge base and expert support ecosystem to accelerate the transition from linear fossil-based to circular bio-based systems.
The BIOTRANSFORM project (TRANSFORMING the Circular BIOeconomy for regions by enabling resource and governance networks) will last thirty months and its line of work will be marked by the Circular Economy and the transition to the Bioeconomy.
Andalusia is one of the six regions participating in the project as case studies. The other regions are: Northern Burgenland (Austria), Western Macedonia (Greece), in Finland, the Charles Spa region (Czech Republic) and North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany). In all of them, by applying a multi-stakeholder approach, BIOTRANSFORM will develop and test its proposed framework for establishing and deploying bio-based circular systems. These regional case studies represent several important industries and transition scenarios for Europe, such as forestry, agri-food, lake ecosystems, lignite and minerals, and chemicals.

The guidelines established in the project will consider the specific regional infrastructure and resources available, conversion pathways, logistics, current policies, strategies and access to financing.
BIOTRANSFORM has received funding from the Horizon Europe program and integrates 10 European entities from Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, Spain and Finland.
CTA leads the work package dedicated to clustering and international cooperation. It also participates in coordinating the development of an expert support ecosystem to accelerate the transition from linear fossil-based systems to circular bio-based systems.

Making calls from the US: If you're calling someone in the US over Wi-Fi, you're not charged extra. If you're on Flexible or Simply Unlimited and are calling someone outside of the US, Canada or Mexico, regardless of whether or not you're on Wi-Fi, there's a per-minute charge that varies by country. If you're on Unlimited Plus, calls from the US to 50+ countries & territories are included free. For calls to other countries, regardless of whether or not you're on Wi-Fi, there's a per-minute charge that varies by country. Please check international rates for more information.
Making calls while abroad: If you're on Flexible or Unlimited Plus and you are making a call while abroad and are not on Wi-Fi, you'll be charged 20/min. If you're making a call over Wi-Fi while abroad, then the rates depend on the destination you are calling. Calls to the US are free. Calls to other destinations will be charged at affordable per-minute rates depending on the country. If you are on Simply Unlimited, Wi-Fi calling is not available while abroad.
On Unlimited Plus, you get free international calls from the US to 50+ countries and territories. For calls to other countries, you'll be charged affordable per-minute rates depending on the countries you're calling.
You can use your phone for calls, texts, and data outside the US after you activate your Google Fi Wireless account and use Fi in the US (territories not included). You don't need to turn on international coverage each time you travel.
Important: The Google Fi Terms of Service require you to activate and use Google Fi service mainly in the United States (not including territories) for at least one day before using Google Fi abroad. If the majority of your usage occurs outside of the United States over a consecutive 90-day period, we will suspend your international data. Learn more at our Help Center.
On Flexible and Unlimited Plus, Fi offers high speed data in over 200+ countries and territories at no extra charge. On Unlimited Plus, this means international data is included. On Flexible, you'll pay the same $10/GB you pay in the U.S. For a list of countries covered by Fi, please see our international rates.
All Google Fi Wireless plans support data, calls and texts within the US, Canada and Mexico. Additionally, if you're on Flexible or Unlimited Plus, Google Fi Wireless supports international calls, text, and data usage in the 200+ countries and territories where we have coverage. If you're on Flexible or Unlimited Plus and you travel to one of the 200+ destinations where we have coverage, you can text internationally at no extra charge, and if you're using cell coverage, calls cost 20 per minute. If you're calling over Wi-Fi, per-minute costs vary based on which country you're calling, and you're charged only for outbound calls. If you're on Simply Unlimited, you can only call and text in Canada and Mexico. If you're traveling to a country that isn't included, you will need to get a local SIM card for that country for cellular coverage. We do this to protect you from surprise bills in places where we can't provide data at no extra charge, 20 per minute calls, and unlimited international texts. Please see our international rates for more information.

The UAB is a young, public and groundbreaking university. A leader in international rankings and a benchmark in research. Barcelonian, Catalan and international. A transformative, supportive, diverse and egalitarian, sustainable and healthy, participative and cultural university. And a campus university, with its faculties and schools, research institutes and services all within a natural environment that offers a variety of unique experiences.
Federal and state laws require that international students maintain adequate health insurance while attending the University of Washington. While many other countries bear the expense of health care for their residents, individuals in the United States are responsible for these expenses themselves. A single day of hospitalization can cost thousands of dollars. A good insurance policy gives you access to excellent medical facilities and provides protection against the enormous costs of health care in the U.S.
All matriculated international students in F-1 or J-1 status are required to purchase the UW International Student Health Insurance Plan (ISHIP). Review the details of the plan carefully, including the effective dates of coverage. We advise you to purchase this insurance for the entire year so that you will be covered whether or not you are enrolled each quarter.
If you arrive in the U.S. before the effective date of the UW insurance plan, you should buy supplemental insurance to cover you during the uninsured period. Make every effort to be insured during your entire stay in the U.S., including your vacation quarters and after graduation if you stay for a period of Optional Practical Training or Academic Training.
