After a successful first event, this year edition focuses on the topic of fairness and accountability in AI and it is taking place one week before the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (ACM FAT*), a computer science conference with a cross-disciplinary focus that brings together researchers and practitioners interested in fairness, accountability, and transparency in socio-technical systems.

The conference addresses all those, who want to take action in climate protection and do care about sustainability. More than 220 lectures by international experts will portray the current ecological, political and economic developments in bioenergy.

KCMD under the Data & Analyses Workshop Session: 'The local dimension of integration in EU urban and rural areas: How data and analyses can contribute to policy-making'

The European Bioplastics Conference is the leading business and discussion forum for the bioplastics sector in Europe and worldwide. As the major industry association in this field, the hosts at European Bioplastics are committed to representing the interests of stakeholders along the entire value chain.

Questions for discussion include:  What unresolved questions do policymakers face in their everyday work?  What key evidence-based insights can existing research provide in response to these questions?  At what point and how could existing research findings best feed into policymaking at EU and national level?  What critical knowledge gaps remain from a policy as well as an academic perspective? When and how could a closer collaboration between policymakers and researchers be helpful to fill these gaps?

The UN Climate Change Conference COP25 will take place from 2 to 13 December 2019 at IFEMA, Feria de Madrid, in Spain.

The increasing demands from a growing global population for food, feed, bioenergy, timber and other commodities are the main drivers of deforestation. In our increasingly interconnected and globalised world, our rate of consumption, individually and locally, has an impact at the other side of the globe. A forest area measuring 1.3million square kilometers was lost between 1990 and 2016. This is the equivalent of 800 football fields of forest being lost by the hour, every day of the year!
