Science for Policy - Maximise your Policy Impact


Less than an hour


The scientific world has changed beyond recognition in recent years. The days when scientists produced reports and expected policy-makers to read and then act upon them are long gone! Through sharing of state-of-the art knowledge, interactive games and best practice examples, this course outlines the skills scientists need for their research results to have a bigger impact on policy and society in general.

European Citizen Engagement and Deliberative Democracy Festival


A few days


Deliberative democracy and citizen engagement can be effective responses to the erosion of trust in democratic institutions, as well as helping to develop better policies by including all those concerned in more direct ways. A number of recent studies namely the OECD’s report “Catching the Deliberative Wave” and a European Parliament study on ‘practices of democracy’ describes the flourishing of inspiring deliberative democracy initiatives, including many in the EU, where thousands of randomly selected citizens are enrolled into more participatory governance styles in our democratic regimes. This context shows the flourishing interest in these tools and therefore raises expectations of the Commission.

SHERPA: A tool to support the design of urban and regional air quality plans


A few hours


Training to use the software tool: SHERPA Java/Python software tool (Screening for High Emission Reduction Potential on Air). SHERPA allows for rapid exploration of potential air quality improvements resulting from national/regional/local emission reduction measures. The tool has been developed with the aim of supporting national, regional, and local authorities in the design and assessment of their air quality plans. It has been developed by JRC-Ispra.

Third Annual Advanced Studies Workshop


-


The 3rd annual workshop of the European Commission´s JRC Centre for Advanced Studies (CAS) promises to be an interesting, lively and inter-disciplinary event, showcasing JRC projects ranging from Artificial Intelligence to micro-plastics; and big data to social inequality. It will take place online via Webex.

This year’s CAS workshop focuses on the contribution of the CAS to three important Commission priorities: 'A Europe fit for the digital age'; 'An economy that works for the people'; and 'A European Green Deal'. With a diverse program including a roadshow, presentations, ePoster sessions, panel discussions and Q/A sessions, participants are informed about the ongoing research and invited to engage with the teams on either research or policy questions.

Invasive Alien Species


More than one week


Invasive Alien Species (IAS) are organisms non-native to Europe (plants or animals) that are widely spread, including in urban environment. Timely reporting helps to prevent their further spread; thus, people’s contributions are really important. The European Alien Species Information Network (EASIN) is a scientific support system underpinning the implementation of EU policy on biodiversity. EASIN aggregates and harmonizes scientific and spatial data from different sources and databases worldwide, making them available to the Commission services, Member States (MS), stakeholders and the scientific community through web tools and services.

Social Economy Scientific Conference


-


The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has increased the visibility of the social economy’s contribution to socio-economic development and social cohesion. The pandemic demonstrates that it is an essential part of Europe’s safety net in times of crisis, thanks to its leadership in providing essential goods and services to the most deprived. Therefore social economy could play an important role in the recovery phase. SES2020 will look at the social economy as a driver of change. On this basis a vibrant network of distinguished researchers and academic scholars will discuss how the future of social economy could bounce forward our societies in the next normal. This conference is co-organised by the JRC, the European Commission’s department for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs, the University of Mannheim, University of Heidelberg and Social Entrepreneurship BW.
