How can we build a fair world? Science and art (SciArt) meet to provoke conversation and inspire answers to this question at the second Resonances exhibition about Fair/Fear.

Resonances II is a mix of debates, performances, conferences and an exhibition organised by the European Commission's science and knowledge service, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci.

The JRC-STU has organised a dedicated two-day workshop to introduce participants from Enlargement and Integration (E&I) countries to the tools developed by the JRC in the support of policies to reduce fuel and energy consumption, CO2 and pollutant emissions from road transport.

As part of the Manchester European City of Science initiatives, the JRC together with Manchester Metropolitan University presents for the second time a unique communication initiative: a Science café, entitled "Global Science Local Impact".

To address the challenges faced by the European railway industry with a focus on passenger experience, innovation and security, the Joint Research Centre (JRC), together with the European Standardisation Organisations CEN and CENELEC organise a workshop on “Railways of the future".  

The output of the event will allow to adjust standardization priorities and implementation roadmaps.

From nuclear data to a reliable estimate of spent fuel decay heat: This topical day aims to bring together specialists in the field of nuclear decay heat data, (non-) destructive analysis of spent fuel and the end-users: designers and future operators of spent fuel repositories for intermediate and final disposal.

The training (06-08 Nov) will offer the lessons learnt from the JRC assessments on more than 100 well-known composite indicators and scoreboards.

The training is open to all (researchers, policy analysts) with an interest in scoreboards, composite indicators and multi-criteria analysis. No registration fees.

The fourth Neutron Resonance Analysis School will be hosted at the EC-JRC in Geel, Belgium from November 6th to 10th 2017.

This school is intended to provide an overview to the measurement and analysis techniques associated with neutron induced reactions alongside the nuclear theory governing these reactions.

The 2nd International Workshop on the European Atlas of Natural Radiation (IWEANR 2017) will be held in the town of Verbania, Italy, from Monday 6 November at 14:00 to Thursday 9 November at 16:00. The main aim of the workshop is to present the status and discuss progress of the European Atlas of Natural Radiation.

The Venue

To define the state of the art for quantitative measurement of food and nutrition security (F&NS) the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) organise an international conference.

Researchers, academics, professionals and decision makers are invited to this interdisciplinary forum to discuss and present quantitative methods for integrated F&NS measurement.

The scope of the course is

• to give a general introduction to methods of identification and global sensitivity analysis,
• their DYNARE implementation (identification toolbox and global sensitivity analysis toolbox) and
• their application to Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) macroeconomic models.

Description

What is the stability region of a DSGE model? Which structural parameters mainly drive the unique saddle-path solution of DSGE models?
