📑 Transforming Energy and Transforming Lives in Gran Canaria Imagine a future where the warmth of your home or hospital doesn’t come at the planet’s expense. This is the vision behind H2HEAT, a groundbreaking European project setting the stage for a cleaner, greener tomorrow in Gran Canaria. ✅ Why Gran Canaria? Its unique geography offers access to renewable energy sources like offshore wind, making it an ideal testing ground for green hydrogen technologies. The island is also home to forward-thinking institutions committed to sustainability, like SCS, which is working toward its ambitious “Health Zer0 Net Emissions Strategy 2030.” ✅ The H2HEAT Process: Green Hydrogen in Action  With 40% of a building’s energy typically consumed by heating and 36% of EU greenhouse gases coming from buildings, H2HEAT offers a tangible solution. ✅ A Model for the World H2HEAT isn’t just about Gran Canaria - it’s about creating a replicable model for decarbonizing buildings globally. The Canary Islands will become a hydrogen valley! ✅ A Future Worth Building It’s about ensuring that future generations inherit a planet capable of sustaining life and prosperity. #H2Heat #SustainableHeating Partners: Plataforma Oceánica de Canarias (PLOCAN), Stargate Hydrogen, 2G Solutions, NeoDyne, EMEC: European Marine Energy Centre, ESTEYCO, Cluster Marítimo de Canarias, Servicio Canario de Salud, Gobierno de Canarias, Lviv Polytechnic National University, ICORSA

🧪 🔬Research requires change. What is one change you believe would make academic careers more attractive? #WSF2024 World Science Forum, Young Academy of Europe

ICoRSA was at the World Science Forum. We had a lot of interesting conversations, and even created a short poll! According to researchers, the biggest barrier to a sustainable career in research is job security! Do you believe that the job market is so volatile, that people are constantly stressed over it? Or maybe, it is something else...

🌍 Yesterday at #WSF2024, leading researcher organizations - Eurodoc, ICoRSA, Marie Curie Alumni Association , and Young Academy of Europe -came together to discuss the vital role of researchers in science diplomacy. The session focused on: ✅ The unique value researchers bring to science diplomacy  ✅ Addressing challenges and supporting Early-Career Researchers (ECRs) in science diplomacy  ✅ Leveraging global networks and best practices to foster effective science diplomacy and promote peacebuilding through science #EarlyCareerResearchers #ScienceForPolicy #ScienceForPeace #GlobalCollaboration 

H2HEAT isn’t just a project; it’s a blueprint. The learnings and infrastructure from this initiative will serve as a replicable model for hospitals and commercial buildings worldwide, promoting a shift to sustainable, green heating. 🌿 #FutureFocused #SustainabilityLeadership #H2HEAT Plataforma Oceánica de Canarias (PLOCAN), Cluster Marítimo de Canarias

Researcher associations organising two side events at the World Science Forum on academic career precarity and science diplomacy! The events, organised by the European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers (Eurodoc), the International Consortium of Research Staff Associations (ICoRSA), the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA), and the Young Academy of Europe (YAE), delve into how researchers can effectively engage in science diplomacy and how to make careers in academia more attractive and sustainable. Key points: -  Eurodoc, ICoRSA, MCAA, and YAE organise joint side events on November 19th and 20th as part of the World Science Forum 2024 held in Budapest, Hungary. - The sessions focus on researcher career precarity and sustainability as well as science diplomacy. - Among the speakers of the sessions are representatives from UNESCO and the European Commission. #YAE #MCAA #ICORSA #EURODOC

Our oceans are at dangerous levels of pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. #PHAROS is designed to create real change in ocean conservation. By 2030, it aims to restore marine ecosystems, reduce ocean pollution, and create a sustainable blue economy. Through solutions like nature-based systems (NBS) and innovative monitoring technologies, PHAROS brings a new approach to safeguarding our seas. Backed by the EU, this project is more than research. It’s action, with hands-on projects in the Atlantic and Arctic. PHAROS is a commitment to protecting our oceans today—and for future generations.

The EU is advancing research to transform lives - combating climate change, protecting health, and improving ecosystems. Here’s a look at the ambitious missions aimed at tangible change: ➡ Cancer Mission: Aiming to save over 3 million lives by 2030 through advancements in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. ➡ Climate-Resilient Europe: Preparing Europe for climate disruptions and accelerating a just, resilient society aligned with the Paris Agreement. ➡ Oceans and Waters: Restoring degraded marine ecosystems to protect ocean health, biodiversity, and sustainable energy and food sources. ➡ Soil Health & Food: Improving soil quality across Europe by restoring degraded lands, reducing erosion, and promoting food security. ➡ 100 Climate-Neutral Cities by 2030: Supporting cities in achieving climate neutrality by and for citizens. Research and innovation drive almost two-thirds of economic growth in the EU, helping to create more jobs and sustainable industries. Through Horizon Europe funding, the EU empowers researchers to build a healthier, greener, and more inclusive future.
