Workshop on Attractive Careers in Research: the expectations & roles of different stakeholder groups
2024-11-04 - 2024-11-05
The workshop on Attractive Careers in Research aims to explore the common and different expectations for careers in research by different stakeholder groups, and the opportunities for action that exist based on these expectations. Existing good practice examples from within and outside of academia will be presented and used as inspiration.
Science Europe works to push the frontiers of policies and practices that underlie how research is programmed, conceived, conducted, and communicated. As part of our strategic priority to contribute to the evolution of research culture, we focus on the promotion of attractive and sustainable careers in research, and the recognition of a myriad of roles that contribute to research quality and impact.

How to write a policy brief
2024-10-30 12:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Brussels) | Online
Policy briefs are concise, accessible documents that aim to communicate the practical implications of research to a particular policy audience and provide them with solutions to a specific issue. Although policy briefs are just one method to communicate information to a policy audience, they can be a valuable communication tool when effectively written and disseminated.
This webinar will outline how researchers can write an effective policy brief and disseminate it so that it has policy impact. In the second part of the webinar, participants will be given the opportunity to ask questions and try out their own policy brief concepts.
The webinar will be hosted by Chloe Hill, EGU’S policy manager. It will last for one hour and conclude with an audience Q&A. This webinar will be recorded and uploaded to the EGU YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@egu

Accelerated development: A new era for health and life science cooperation with the Global South? Public S|B (Sector Day) conference
2024-06-25 14:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Brussels) | Brussels
In Brussels and online
About the theme: Among the issues that the COVID-19 pandemic brought to the surface, global cooperation in health research emerged as an essential requirement – from concerted surveillance of emerging infectious diseases and drug manufacturing, to knowledge transfer, data sharing and biodiversity protection. Beyond pandemic preparedness, the need for a broader, structural and sustainable North-South partnership has now become obvious. In addition, the health sector’s digitalisation rush and the growing importance of AI offer enormous opportunities to deepen North-South partnerships. Moving forward, the key questions are where to prioritise in terms of funding, programmes and R&I domains, and how to ensure a coordinated approach?
Featured guests: On 25 June, we will bring together key representatives from international bodies, EU institutions, national governments, research and industry to discuss the steps needed to crystallise a new era for North-South cooperation in health and life sciences. Confirmed speakers include Michael Makanga, Executive Director, European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP); Ole Petter Ottersen, Acting Secretary General, The Guild & former President, Karolinska Institutet; Irene Norstedt, Director ‘People’, DG RTD, European Commission; Marleen Temmerman, Director ‘Women’s Health’, Faculty of Health Sciences – Aga Khan University Hospital; Srini Kaveri, Director of India Office, CNRS; Hilary Hanahoe, Secretary General, Research Data Alliance; Mario Reale, Senior Research Engagement Officer at GÉANT, Glaudina Loots, Director for Health Innovation, South Africa Department of Science and Innovation; and Rajendra Pratap Gupta, Chairman – Dynamic Coalition on Digital Health, United Nations’ Internet Governance Forum.
How to engage: While the speaker line-up is essentially complete, we now look to our Network members to inform and inspire the wider debate on the most effective ways forward! As such, we would be grateful if you could share details of the event with relevant faculty leads, and/or let us know if you wish to recommend specific colleagues for us to invite.

Objective: This invitation-only workshop is organised to facilitate a more effective integration between SMEs and research and technology infrastructures (RTIs) within Europe. Despite significant European funding efforts aimed at sectors such as healthcare and semiconductors, there is a recognised need to better understand and enhance the synergy between infrastructures and the industrial sector, especially SMEs.
The workshop aims to

Review European Commission funding outcomes: Evaluate the impact of recent EC funding initiatives, identifying successes and challenges, to improve RTI-SME collaboration and linking to relevant ongoing projects and actions such as the TI Expert Group.
Enable targeted dialogue: Create a forum for SME representatives, alongside experts from relevant EC DGs and Units, key stakeholders and RTI representatives. The focus will be on exploring how RTIs can drive growth and innovation in SMEs, particularly in the areas of biotechnology & health and advanced materials.
Explore pilot actions: Consider ongoing efforts like the mapping of infrastructures in advanced materials, and discuss the possibility of expanding into new sectors such as The goal is to determine and prioritise areas for deeper RTI-SME cooperation that could offer immediate and long-term benefits.
Discuss future collaboration frameworks: Agree on a forward path for integrating pilot actions into existing frameworks, aiming to achieve outcomes that bolster SME innovation and competitiveness without explicitly aiming to influence Work Programmes directly.

Expected outcomes

Identification of priority areas for action and strategic focus, especially in sectors such as Advanced Materials and Biotechnology.

Indtech2024: Science and Innovation to empower Europe industrial resilience and economic security
2024-06-03 - 2024-06-05 | Namur
European industry plays a pivotal role in the twin digital and green transition. It acts as a catalyst for these changes while also being directly impacted by them. Simultaneously, the European industry must strive to uphold their technological leadership and competitiveness in a context of increasing global competition. Indeed, recent geopolitical and sanitary crisis highlighted the supply chain vulnerability of several key enabling technologies and critical raw materials.
Europe’s technological capabilities are its best asset to meet the objectives of the Green Deal, reach carbon neutrality in 2050 and ensure the leadership of its industry, notably in the innovative materials sector. But the significance of the challenges matches the ambition. New technologies must be developed to enable the European transition to a carbon neutral economy, but developing low and zero carbon solutions that go beyond the traditional approach will demand close collaboration between the academic and industry worlds.

Indtech2024 will be a forum bringing together stakeholders to exchange around specific R&I and policy challenges and stimulate networking. An overarching question we would like to address during Indtech2024 is how R&D policies could be better integrated to ambitious European initiatives to make sure the future of our industry is made in Europe. More specifically, Indtech2024 will aim to:

Identify and discuss the research and innovation challenges and opportunities related to the fields of advanced materials and manufacturing and critical raw material supply.
Identify, discuss, and showcase promising technologies and best practices contributing to the digital and green transition of the industry and the decarbonisation of the energy-intensive industries.

Take stock of lessons learned at the mid-term of Horizon Europe programme and provide recommendations for the way forward, specifically on how it could articulate better with other European initiatives.

Table Top Exercise on Critical Maritime Infrastructure Protection (TTX CMIP)
2024-05-28 - 2024-05-30 | Brussels
The TTX, organised by the European Defence Agency (EDA), aims to answer the question “what to do when something happens? The exercise will involve different levels of response and will take place in 4 consecutive phases. The final product should enable all Member States to respond in a coordinated manner to incidents targeting critical maritime infrastructure and their direct and indirect consequences.
General planning: the exercise will start in January 2024 and will continue until the end of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the EU. There will be several feedback and intermediate conclusions before a final table top exercise, which will present the results, evaluations and recommendations on governance and policy.
Phase 1: The exercise begins with a first phase focusing on maritime situational awareness (MSA) in each of the three participating countries, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Lower Saxony (DE).
In this first phase, each MSA agency will provide its perspectives on existing legal frameworks, directives, and command structures. These conclusions will be a first observation at national level, at all levels of leadership involved, in cross-border and international cooperation. In addition, each MSA agency will share its perspective on collaboration with private actors, “to do”, “not to do” and best practices to improve maritime situational awareness.
Phase 2: During this phase, MSA agencies will meet trilaterally to discuss their assessment, needs and recommendations, regarding the status of the MSA, including critical maritime infrastructure, detection, target evaluation criteria, 24/7 contact points. The goal is to organize a meeting in each MSA agency, each with a specific focus on the following topics.
1) National and cross-border governance assessments
2) National and cross-border recommendations on governance
3) Policy evaluation to improve national and cross-border governance
Phase 3: This phase includes targeted meetings with private stakeholders regarding the MSA situation, including critical marine infrastructure. The evaluation and recommendations will complement the efforts of MSA agencies. National emergency responders for PAHO at sea are also involved in this phase and face preliminary assessment and recommendations. If, as expected, national first responders were already involved in Phase 1 and Phase 2, Phase 3 will refine and consolidate assessments and recommendations and improve existing bilateral agreements and make recommendations for other legal frameworks and guidelines.
Phase 4 will transfer the efforts of the operational staff involved (MSA and Response) to the core team which will consolidate the results, evaluate and recommend intermediate conclusions and prepare the table-top closing exercise, scheduled by the third week of May 2024
Preparing a report: The final task of the exercise sponsored by the Belgian Presidency will be a consolidated report.
