🎯 Thematic Workshop ‘Policy Recommendations and Coherence’, moderated by Eduard Plana. 📊Answering: How can research projects best develop policy recommendations and streamline the process, while ensuring coherence at EU level?

This document comprises the findings from a Fact-Finding Survey undertaken by members of the CAA Knowledge Sharing Partnership The purpose of the Fact-Finding Survey is to enable a comparative study to be undertaken to assess knowledge sharing needs and opportunities among the signatories. The findings will be used to help build an understanding of the ecosystem in each country together with the barriers and enablers to sustainable urbanisation facing each member organisation. The output of the study will also be used to identify issues of common concern, thereby enabling us to prioritise topics which will have the greatest impact for those with the greatest need. The CAA recognises the contribution made by the following Focal Points, representing each of the 16 signatories to the Knowledge Sharing Partnership.

In this respect I would like to draw your attention these following strategy planning and recommendations needed to overcome people’s miseries. 1.           Open multiple heath center across city and county based on census data. Mainly age group and ethnicity. 2.           Revisit our building code base on International Building Code (IBC), building materials and insulation, quality, and strength of water pipe. 3.           Revisit of our Chapter 42 for land planning for future development and redevelopment in city and county in relation to flooding issue. 4.           Develop strategy planning and strong flood mitigation strategy for City of Houston and Harris County. 5.           Prepare a complete data base, inventory of houses and people affected by winter storm. 6.           Give direct financial and food assistance those who are affected by winter storm Give me your e-mail address; then I will forward my strategic planning for flood mitigation for Houston and Harris County

Wooohoo, a big step, my first selfie on LinkedIn! You can see how comfortable I am with selfies 🤣 This is from the European Civil Protection Forum, a @Myriad-EU policy workshop that I coordinated. We seized the chance to propose a workshop for the Forum, and it paid off! Our project Grant Agreement included a policy workshop, and leveraging this big European event was a great opportunity to get the right people around the table. And this is exactly what happened; the UN, World Bank, many representatives of the European Commission, and Red Cross - they were all there. I don't think we would have been able to gather such an audience if we had organized this workshop as a stand-alone event or linked it to a scientific conference. Since pretty much all of the Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe projects I've seen recently aim to reach out to policymakers (warms my heart!), whether on a European, regional, or even local level, I will leave here a piece of perhaps obvious advice: 👉 Go where your audience is. 👉 Time it when your topic is hot for them. 👉 Speak their language. And if you are not sure how to do that, reach out to some friendly science communications pros.

📣 Don't miss the 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥, 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐨-𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 conference which is taking place on 4-5 June in the frame of the Belgian Presidency of the European Council in Brussels, at the Royal Library of Belgium. 🔎 Our new Director General as many other ERIC directors and representatives are attending the conference, focused on three following main issues, crucial for the present and future perspectives of the Research Infrastructures (RIs): - RIs as key players of strategic autonomy in a changing global context; - the socio-economic and environmental impact of RIs; - the broad ecosystems of RIs. 🎥 👉 The full programme and the streams are available here: https://lnkd.in/eHqxnwJH

Giving a talk at 2023 Research Methods e-Festival on Understanding Policy and other Systems: An introduction to PRSM, the Participatory System Mapper.

Today marks the first day of the International Conference on Connecting the Dots for a Circular Economu from the Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau of the Department of Environment and National Resources https://lnkd.in/dZKdv452

Our Aleš Pevc is at the EUSALP Annual Forum discussing the new cross-cutting priorities jointly developed by the EUSALP Action Groups. ♻ The cross-cutting priorities focus on digitalization, energy transition, water management and circular economy. His focus is on presenting the benefits of technologies for the circular economy, as the circular economy will also play a central role under the Slovenian EUSALP presidency in 2024. 🔜
