The symposium will take place as an online side event to the COP 27 on Thursday 3 November 2022 and kindly hosted by Science Europe.
This open, online event has the following objectives:
- Present the engagement of the promoting organisations for the Net-Zero Transition to their membership/constituencies.
- Take stock of the progress towards the Call to Action and the partners’ commitment to its cause.
- Engage other actors of the (European) research and higher education systems for the Net-Zero Transition.
- Advocate to stakeholders the importance of acting together.
The proposed format for the event is as follows:
- A first panel discussion with experts from universities and research funding organisations, presenting practical examples of interdisciplinary projects necessary for the Net-Zero Transition from a researcher’s perspective.
- A second panel discussion with policy experts discussing how the results of interdisciplinary projects are shared with policy makers and society to lead the Net-Zero Transition at the national, regional, and global level.
- A final panel discussion with the Presidents of each partner organisation. In this session, a keynote speaker will present the Sci4Net0 Call to Action and the new partners involved. The moderators of the first two sessions will then report key messages from the first two panels. The Presidents will take stock of the progress made towards the Call to Action and present concrete actions and how they (can) act together to enhance the Net-Zero Transition.
The objective is to show the importance of acting together, presenting concrete interdisciplinary actions for the Net-Zero Transition.
