JRC Karlsruhe has the pleasure to organise the HOTLAB 2016 Conference, the 53^rd Annual meeting on 'hot' laboratories and remote handling in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). HOTLAB 2016 will take place at the Leonardo Hotel Karlsruhe, Germany on October 2-6, 2016.

Academic specialists on the European Union failed to predict a series of crises which have affected the EU over the past decade. Their efforts to explain the origin, evolution and implications of these crises are also not impressive. This lecture will try to discuss why this is so.

The EURL for Mycotoxins workshop will inform the participants about the activities carried out by the EURL-Mycotoxins in 2016 and will discuss the prospects for 2017.

On 6-7 October, a group of 30 RWP Attachés visits the JRC Karlsruhe site (Directorate for Nuclear Safety and Security). Representatives of the Member States, candidate and associated countries are invited to participate as well.

This is a technical workshop with hands-on training exercises, which will introduce the global air quality scenario screening tool TM5-FASST to users interested in the evaluation of global and regional pollutant emission scenarios, particularly focusing on the concentrations of air pollutants and their impacts on human health and ecosystems.

 

AUDIENCE

Fairness is an indispensable value. Human beings care about it deeply. A sense of fairness is the glue that binds societies together.
But what is fairness? What does it mean in the 21st century? How fair is the EU?

Science can help us answer such questions.

This lecture will examine the different dimensions and various drivers of fairness and pose questions relevant to policy-makers and the wider society.

The JRC Annual Conference 2016 will focus on the importance of human capital for the prosperity of regions and cities.

MetroDecom takes the technologies and methodologies developed in the previous EMRP project “Metrology for radioactive waste management” one step further by demonstrating their implementation and performance in real decommissioning situations.

Europe is now witnessing a growing movement of policy labs and other public innovation teams at EU, national, regional and local levels of governance. Their experimental, creative and citizen-centred approaches are changing the ways policies are shaped and delivered, putting forward alternative solutions in a time when our institutions require more robust and adaptable responses to complex situations.

The focus changed from feed safety to feed security and other challenges, ranging from traceability to new feed materials. The conference therefore intends to bring together colleagues from different horizons, such as research organisations, industry academia and public organisation, reflecting the diversity of feed challenges, to discuss the current and future challenges related to feed.
