A leading platform for the biomass specialists, this conference will address topics from biomass to bioliquids and biofuels for heat and electricity, transport and biobased products.
Under the auspices of the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU, this high level conference will bring together policymakers, scientists, businesses, regional authorities and universities to consider the opportunities and challenges for Europe, notably South-east Europe and including the Western Balkans, in research, development, education, employment and innovation and in particular, the process of skills creation, knowledge and technology.
It will serve as a platform to discuss and commit to place-based innovation as a priority. After setting the scene and presenting the innovation landscape in Europe, participants will engage in a debate on good practices and key success factors to inspire countries, regions and stakeholders willing to reap the potential of smart specialisation, technology transfer and digital transformation.
The draft agenda and registration will soon be available. For more info please contact JRC-InnovGrowth-Conf@ec.europa.eu

How do we make sure that scientific evidence shapes EU policies? Investing in listening more to scientists is one way. To immerse yourself in the world of research presented in form of an exhibition is another one.
This conference aims to deliver a set of key messages and principles on how cities can contribute to regional, national and European biodiversity policies, goals and targets.
This workshop aims to develop alternative quantitative migration scenarios that correspond to possible alternative policies and help demographers to provide projections which should better inform the policy making process.
The JRC-managed Smart Specialisation Platform is organising a Peer eXchange and Learning (PXL) workshop on multi-level governance for RIS3 as part of a new series of peer review workshops.
The JRC will be at the Analytica fair and conference 2018. As well as providing information on reference materials at the Analytica fair, the JRC is organising a session at the conference titled 'Talking science – Today's knowledge for tomorrow's applications'.
Rapeseed is one of Europe’s major crops. Oil and animal feed is produced from it. And it is beautiful to look at when flowering. Take part in our social media campaign - by taking pictures of rapeseed in bloom around your area you can help support our research.
Science, politics and the needs of people are harder than ever to reconcile just when we most need evidence-informed policies. This joint JRC-OECD workshop aims to promote evidence-informed policy making for good public governance. It is open to policymakers and experts working at the science/policy interface.
This 2 day workshop discusses the current state-of-the-art of thermal propagation testing. Leading experts will also brain-storm on the potential impact of preventing thermal propagation on the safety testing landscape.
The JRC organises this workshop with the European Committee of Regions, three Joint Undertakings (JUs) -Cleansky JU, FCH JU and BBI JU- and a number of regional and national ESIF managing authorities to promote collaboration in support of RIS3 implementation.
The impact of machine intelligence on human behaviour is the topic of this 2 day kickoff workshop.
This coming month the JRC will launch a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) exploring how to build effective monitoring systems to help regions meet their long-term research and innovation goals.
The course is open to anyone interested in monitoring knowledge-based regional development, and in particular monitoring Smart Specialisation Strategies. Whilst it is designed with EU regions and member states specifically in mind, the principles and ideas discussed should be of relevance to a broader audience.
The MOOC will answer key questions related to monitoring RIS3, addressing conceptual, policy and empirical aspects.
This event will bring together alumni from all JRC sites and leading JRC experts in Brussels. There will be scientific discussions, workshops and a poster session where alumni will have the chance to present their current projects, followed by an awards ceremony and reception.
