According to a recently published Communication on Advanced Materials for Industrial Leadership, the Commission and industry will  💡 mobilize under a co-programmed Horizon Europe partnership 🤝🏻 € 500 million, of which industry should contribute at least € 250 million to match the EU contribution   In addition, the European Commission and Member States will 🔬 define common objectives and priorities for R&I investments for advanced materials, with preliminary R&I priorities in four strategic areas: energy, mobility, construction and electronics 📀 develop a long-term sustainable European digital infrastructure for advanced materials R&I, building on experience acquired with European data spaces such as MaterialDigital, Diadem and BIG-MAP 🏭 work closely within the Joint European Forum for IPCEI on potential IPCEIs related to advanced materials   More information: https://lnkd.in/eyRcyvSk   Advanced Materials 2030 Initiative Plattform MaterialDigital Battery Interface Genome – Materials Acceleration Platform (BIG-MAP)

“A robust and nimble infrastructure is imperative to support the vital work of scholarly communication.” Ithaka S+R’s Tracy Bergstrom, Oya Reiger, & Roger Schonfeld share key strategic context on the second digital transformation of #ScholarlyPublishing and highlight opportunities for improvement and investment in the shared infrastructure that supports it. https://lnkd.in/e34A2Z8k

Are you not going to ICA this year? This can be due to: sustainability concerns, because your paper was not accepted, because you did not submit anything, because you are unable to take enough time off - since you are in the middle of your teaching semester - to make it a meaningful trip to Australia, because you cannot afford the travel to Australia or a variety of other possibilities ... BUT you still want to socialize with other COM scholars? Come to our two-day European Communication Science Event - 20 & 21st of June. You can submit "rejected papers", you can submit "remote presentations" that you want to do for a live audience, you can propose a panel, you can submit an idea for an alternative activity (i.e. movie screening, brainstorm session, workshop) and many more things!

🆕The #RegionalInnovationValleys (RIVs) initiative is an ambitious component of the #NewEuropeanInnovationAgenda (NEIA), aimed at enhancing innovation across the European Union by fostering stronger regional innovation ecosystems. This initiative is instrumental in addressing key EU challenges such as reducing dependence on fossil fuels, boosting global food security, advancing digital transformation, enhancing healthcare, and promoting circular economies.💯 With a substantial allocation of €116 million from both the #EuropeanInnovationEcosystems (EIE) programme under #HorizonEurope and the #InterregionalInnovationInvestments (I3) Instrument of the #EuropeanRegionalDevelopmentFund, the initiative underscores a strategic investment in innovation. This funding will support 72 regions in their journey to become RIVs, contingent upon the formalization of grant agreements. The engagement of these regions signifies a proactive effort to fortify their innovation policies and investments. This is not only a financial investment but also a structural one, aiming to bridge the innovation disparity across the EU by linking regions of varying development and innovation capabilities. Furthermore, the EU plans to extend its support through community-building activities, matchmaking events, and targeted communication actions, which are essential for nurturing interregional collaboration. This collaborative framework is expected to enhance the capacity of these regions to direct and coordinate innovation activities effectively.

How do you promote something complex and technical like evaluation? How can we communicate better to bring out the value and essence of evaluation? Find answers to these questions and more in the recent #gLOCAL2024 webinar from Global Evaluation Initiative https://lnkd.in/g7t2fNqN

Two years of research on "Transnational Technical Communication" and working on defining the field is finally materialized. I started this research in the spring of 2023 which took almost 2 years from conceptualizing the idea to putting it out there in a print. But here I am, so proud, happy and humble. Here is how you cite me in APA format: Ghimire, A. (2024).
