Clean Circles well done to start these discussions! It is important that all stakeholders in the energy sector get to know the potential of Iron as a future energy carrier. The policymaking professionals are in this respect essential to open the full potential of iron power as a complementary energy carrier to hydrogen and electricity in the future energy mix.

#FEMISE latest conference paper is published under the title: #ICT AS A DRIVER OF #GREEN ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE MENA AREA; Anna Ferragina; Stefano Iandolo, Ivan sergio, Erol Taymaz. This study investigates the relationship between Information and Communication Technologies (#ICTs) and environmental sustainability in the Middle East and North Africa (#MENA) region. The results reveal peculiar patterns, emphasizing the pivotal role of ICTs in increasing energy efficiency, and mitigating environmental impact and underscoring the need for context-specific policies and interventions.

A case study of the S&T intuitive review excise of NASTEC has been widely explored by linking the theories on the subject to draw a set of impacts that would have on society, not only in science but also in the public domain. The approach was scrutinized from a bottom-up perspective while considering institutional employees, civil society, and other key stakeholders, including the clients, as grass-roots actors. This work intends to conclude that the success of the policy translation based on the evidence will be successful until and unless the engagement of the grass-roots actors is ensured throughout the value creation chain of the science for policy exercise. https://lnkd.in/gX2sWyBS #SciencePolicy #GlobalSouth #NASTEC #SriLanka

🎉 We are proud to announce that two of our research papers are officially published featured at HELORS 2023 in Athens last year! 📚 Publications: 1️⃣ "Sustainable Investments in the Building Sector: A Critical Review of Financing Tools and Methods" by Ioanna Andreoulaki, Katerina Papapostolou, Chara Karakosta, Filippos Dimitrios Mexis, John Psarras (2023, June). 👉 A critical examination of financing tools and methods to promote energy efficiency retrofits. 2️⃣ "Investigating a Building Typology for Supporting Renovation Investments" by Katerina Papapostolou, Ioanna Andreoulaki, Konstantinos Touloumis, Panagiotis Kapsalis, John Psarras (2023, June). 👉 Focuses on developing a Common Data Model to support energy efficiency projects through the ENERGATE platform. These papers introduce innovative strategies to catalyse sustainable investments in the EU's building sector.

EVENT PROMOTION The call for abstracts to present at the Swedish Development Research Conference 2024 in Lund 21–23 October is now open. This year’s conference theme is “Reaching the Sustainable Development Goals in a polarized world” Conference theme background and objective Growing polarization worldwide impedes our collective pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. War in Ukraine and Gaza, alongside the pandemic fallout, has shifted global power dynamics, diverting attention from international development cooperation. These conflicts, compounded by economic strains and climate challenges, disproportionately affect the Global South. Urgent action is needed, including a green transition, to address these issues. However, this transition risks exploiting vulnerable regions and exacerbating conflicts of interest, particularly in international development cooperation. Swedish research focusing on least developed and lower middle-income countries plays a crucial role in understanding and addressing these challenges. Interdisciplinary approaches can illuminate how conflicts of objectives hinder sustainable development, emphasizing the role of research in advancing Agenda 2030. The DevRes 2024 organizing team especially welcomes research relating to inter- and multidisciplinary projects or approaches, and hope that the conference will gather attendees reflecting the diversity of development research that Sweden is engaged in. Prospective DevRes 2024 participants can contribute to the conference theme by submitting abstracts to three different types of sessions: Research Papers Interactive World Café Impact Stories To find out more about these three types of sessions and what to include in your submission(s)please visit: lucsus.lu.se/devres2024 There you’ll find all the info needed including the abstract submitting form. Abstract submission deadline: May 19

So many people who think science is ‘too hard to understand’ or ‘boring’ just have not had it explained to them properly or have missed the cool bits. Now more than ever, science communication is becoming increasingly important. The more people understand, the more they will want to engage. Today I am taking part in #training session about #PublicEngagement and #ScienceCommunication. Thank you Joana Pereira for invitation to such important project. The training on #RRI Responsible Research and Innovation, Dissemination and Impact for Science is promoted by the projects #Beside and #Epiboost funded by the #EuropeanUnion.
