SUMMARY:Diamond ERA: Fostering Openness in the European Research Area - open event!
DESCRIPTION:Join leading Polish & European research institutions for a live\, in-person conference in Brussels on Diamond Open Access\, shaping the future of fair and innovative publishing in the Social Sciences and Humanities. Registration is required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe “Diamond ERA: Fostering Openness in the European Research Area” conference is a one-day policy-focused event that brings together key stakeholders to advance the conversation on Diamond Open Access (OA) in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) across the European Research Area (ERA). Taking place on 4 December 2025 in Brussels at the Permanent Representation of Poland to the European Union\, this open event aims to highlight and promote Diamond OA as a sustainable\, equitable\, andmission-driven model of scholarly publishing. It provides a platform for engagement between policymakers\, researchers\, publishers\, research funders\, and infrastructure providers to collaboratively identify pathways toward stronger support and integration of Diamond OA practices in the European science policy landscape. \n\n\n\nWhy now? \n\n\n\nThe timing of the conference is particularly relevant. With the ongoing negotiations of the next framework programme Horizon Europe 2028-2034 as well as preparations for the new ERA Act\, there is a unique opportunity to ensure that Diamond OA is reflected within the next phase of European research policy. At the same time\, the Diamond model is gaining the recognition it deserves as a credible\, community-led alternative to commercial publishing platforms. This growing momentum underscores the need for coordinated action to strengthen Europe’s capacity for open\, independent\, and sustainable scholarly communication. The conference seeks to contribute to this effort by positioning the Diamond model as a cornerstone of a more open and resilient European research ecosystem. \n\n\n\nWhat you can expect?  \n\n\n\nOpening Session: The Policy Horizon for Diamond OA in Europe\n\n\n\nShowcase Session: Institutional and community-driven Diamond OA initiatives\n\n\n\nKeynote presentation: The European Diamond Capacity Hub\n\n\n\nPanel Discussion: How to support Diamond OA in ERA – discussion with the community\n\n\n\nPanel Discussion: Indexing Diamond OA Content\n\n\n\nNetworking and refreshments\n\n\n\nEvent summary HERE \n\n\n\nThe conference is co-organised by the Digital Humanities Centre at the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IBL PAN\, Warsaw)\, a leading centre for digital humanities and a key facilitator of open scholarly communication in Poland and the Polish Science Contact Agency of the Polish Academy of Science (PolSCA PAS\, Brussels) with the support of OPERAS Research Infrastructure.The event is sponsored by the Polish Academy of Sciences. \n\n\n\nSee more about event in NEWS

SUMMARY:Conference in Brussels: Towards a Fair Green Transition  - Harnessing Research & Innovation for Social Impact
DESCRIPTION:As Europe advances toward climate neutrality\, the green transition must be more than technological—it must be fair\, inclusive\, and socially resilient. This conference explores how research and innovation (R&I)\, especially from the social sciences and humanities\, can drive societal transformation and shape policies that reduce inequalities and support long-term resilience. Through expert panels\, scientific dialogue\, and participatory exchange\, the event will spotlight how R&I can help align environmental goals with social justice. It will take place on 17 June 2025\, from 11:00 to 17:00\, at the NCBR Office in Brussels\, Belgium \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConference rationale \n\n\n\nThe green and fair transition\, as defined by the European Union\, marks a transformative shift toward a climate-neutral economy that is socially just and inclusive. This approach ensures that no person or region is left behind\, as outlined in the European Green Deal and the European Pillar of Social Rights. \n\n\n\nIt seeks to combine environmental sustainability with social equity by supporting vulnerable groups\, promoting quality employment\, and fostering inclusive growth. \n\n\n\nAt the same time\, societies across Europe and beyond are experiencing profound social transformations\, driven by a complex interplay of global and regional forces such as climate change\, digitalization\, demographic shifts\, and economic uncertainty. These shifts highlight the urgent need to build resilient societies—those capable of adapting to change and withstanding crises\, while maintaining social cohesion\, inclusivity\, and fairness. \n\n\n\nIn such a context\, research and innovation (R&I) must rise to the occasion. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary efforts\, not only in terms of frontier research and breakthrough technologies but also in generating deep societal insights and policy-relevant knowledge. R&I has a pivotal role to play in guiding social transformations\, enhancing resilience\, and ensuring that the green transition delivers on its promise of a fairer\, more inclusive future for all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference objectives \n\n\n\nOrganised in synergy with the candidate European Partnership for Social Transformations and Resilience (STR) under Horizon Europe\, the conference will highlight how R&I can: \n\n\n\nSupport fair and inclusive green transition policiesEnhance Europe’s societal resilience and competitivenessPromote social cohesion\, reduce inequalities\, and foster sustainable growth\n\n\n\nThrough expert panels\, scientific debates\, and participatory dialogues\, this event will contribute to shaping strategies that ensure the green transition delivers tangible benefits for all Europeans. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegistration open now HERE. Stay tuned for more details! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference sessions \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:10 – 12:00 Session I: Framing the Green Future – just transitions start with SSH \n\n\n\nThis opening panel will explore the critical importance of embedding Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) in research and innovation (R&I) to effectively tackle Europe’s grand societal challenges. Using the green transition as a lens\, the discussion will highlight how SSH insights into social justice\, behavioural change\, and inclusive governance are essential for shaping climate policies that are not only effective but also fair and equitable. \n\n\n\nSpeakers from EU science policy community will reflect on how current R&I frameworks can better integrate social dimensions\, improve societal resilience\, and ensure that transitions do not exacerbate inequalities.  \n\n\n\nBy setting the intellectual tone for the day\, this panel will underscore the value of SSH in designing just\, inclusive\, and impactful green transition pathways—laying the foundation for cross-sectoral dialogue throughout the conference. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:00 – 13:00 Session II: Understanding the Complexity of the Green Transition – empowering the change \n\n\n\nThe second session of the conference will place research and innovation at the forefront of addressing today’s evolving societal landscape. As Europe navigates the path toward climate neutrality\, it becomes clear that the transition requires more than technological advances in renewable energy or digital infrastructure—it demands a fair and inclusive approach that mitigates inequalities\, enhances resilience\, and fosters social cohesion. \n\n\n\nFeaturing leading researchers from across Europe\, this session will explore the multifaceted nature of the green transition\, examining how it intersects with deep structural social changes. Key issues such as social equity and inclusion of vulnerable groups\, social aspects of the green transition for different generations and socioeconomic groups\, education for the inclusive green and digital transformation\, and citizen engagement will be unpacked\, offering critical perspectives on both the challenges and opportunities of this transformation. The session will highlight pathways to ensure that the green transition delivers not only environmental sustainability\, but also social justice\, democratic stability\, and long-term societal resilience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14:15 – 15:30 Session III: Aligning Strategies – Translating EU Policies into National Actions through HE Partnerships \n\n\n\nThe third session will explore how national and regional policies can be effectively aligned with European strategies to support a fair\, inclusive\, and sustainable green transition. By showcasing successful policy-shaping experiences\, the session will highlight the critical components of not only designing but also implementing effective policy frameworks. A particular emphasis will be placed on the role of European Partnerships—strategic Horizon Europe initiatives that bring together the European Commission\, national governments\, public institutions\, NGOs\, and the private sector to address major challenges such as climate change\, biodiversity loss\, and digital transformation. The session will also provide a forward-looking perspective on the candidate European Partnership for Social Transformations and Resilience (STR) under Horizon Europe—a strategic initiative that aims to mobilise SSH-driven research to enhance Europe’s societal preparedness and cohesion.  \n\n\n\nThe panel will serve as a forum for sharing best practices and lessons learned on how to effectively translate EU-level objectives into national and regional action plans. It will examine how European Partnerships can act as strategic tools and incentives to align national priorities with EU agendas through joint programming and coordinated investment. By identifying successful models and common challenges\, the session aims to support more coherent\, inclusive\, and impactful engagement of the region in ERA policies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16:00 – 17:15 Session IV: Bridging Science\, Policy\, and Practice for a Fair Green Transition – participatory exercise \n\n\n\nSession hosted by Joint Research Centre \n\n\n\nThe final session will take the form of a participatory dialogue\, moderated by experts from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC)— a team well-versed in connecting the worlds of research and policymaking. This closing session is designed to facilitate active exchange between participants\, drawing on their insights and experiences to explore actionable pathways toward societal transformation & resilience in the process of a just green transition. \n\n\n\nThe session will begin with a JRC-led presentation on key elements of science for policy\, highlighting how evidence-based research can more effectively inform and shape social and economic policy frameworks at all levels.

SUMMARY:The future of European competitiveness – Central European input into the discussion
DESCRIPTION:A round-table discussion organized by the Three Seas Initiative (3SI) Research Center at the Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences (ISP PAN) and the Center for Eastern Studies (OSW) and hosted jointly by the Polish Science Contact Agency PolSCA of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the National Research and Development Centre (NCBR) in Brussels \n\n\n\n16 October (Wednesday)\, 2024 at 10:00 – 12:30Venue: NCBR Office in Brussels – Business & Science Poland\, Rue Belliard 40\, 1040 Brussels \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe recently published report by Mario Draghi greatly contributes to the ongoing debate how the EU should act to maintain its competitiveness towards the US and China. The recommendations relate to both sectoral (energy\, pharma\, AI\, transport) and horizontal (innovation\, skills\, governance) policies. Report stresses clearly the EU’s weakness in closing the innovation gap. As stated\, the EU innovation potential remains underused\, as researchers and innovators do not fully exploit economies of scale of the Single Market and cooperate with other partners across the EU. \n\n\n\nHowever\, one crucial potential of the EU innovativeness hasn’t been marked enough in the report. That is the exploitation of the innovativeness potential of Central Europe\, which could greatly contribute to strengthening European competitiveness. The countries of the region\, which face the same socio- and economical challenges\, are ahead of a difficult task to upgrade its economic model from cost-based to much more innovation-driven. Therefore\, as the funds for cohesion will be gradually decreased for the states of Central Europe\, they need to take an active part in the debate on research cooperation within the EU to invest and attract much more funding as well as creating preferable conditions for prioritizing research and transfer of knowledge to further fuel the economic growth. The Three Seas Initiative (3SI)\, which was launched in 2016 and links thirteen EU states\, is a good platform to discuss these challenges and to consider how to structure the cooperation to make the most efficient. \n\n\n\nThus the aim of the round- table discussion is discuss the Central European perspective on the The future of European competitiveness report\, the regional dimension of the scientific cooperation as well as the next programme for research and innovation in the new Multiannual Financial Framework. During the seminar we would like to present a report published by the Centre for Eastern Studies (OSW)\, entitled A glass half full. Searching for new sources of economic growth in Central Europe indicating the most important challenges on the EU level for the innovativeness of the Central Europe. Afterwards we would like to openly discuss\, howto elevate the importance of scientific research and expertise by promoting expert-level cooperation and to encourage international collaboration among research and socio-economic entities within the Central Europe and to identify the areas of the cooperation on the EU level. \n\n\n\nDetailed agenda available here.  \n\n\n\nThe meeting is by invitation only and will follow Chatham House Rule principles.
