💡 Lærerige dage med internationale fagfæller! 🌍 I sidste uge havde vi æren af at byde europæiske og amerikanske kollegaer fra European Parliamentary Technology Assessment (EPTA) velkommen hos os i København📍. EPTA-netværkets årlige møde er en helt særlig lejlighed, hvor medlemmer fra regeringsråd, forskningsinstitutioner og uafhængige fonde udveksler erfaringer, deler metoder og får inspiration fra ligesindede fagfæller, der alle brænder for teknologivurdering og videndeling 💭. Nysgerrighed, dyb interesse og et stort ønske om at lære og inspirere hinanden var gennemgående for alle tre dage, som foregik under årets tema 👉 “Past, Present, Future”. Sammen reflekterede vi over hvad vi kan lære af fortiden, aktuelle tendenser og udfordringer i vores samtid og de fremtidige perspektiver for teknologivurdering i politikudvikling og samfundet generelt🔍. Det fantastiske ved EPTA-netværket er, at ingen af medlemsorganisationerne arbejder helt ens – forskellighederne er vores fælles ståsted for evig læring og samarbejde ✨. Tak til alle deltagere for et inspirerende møde – vi glæder os allerede til næste år! 🙌

Workshoppen afholdes som del af det EU-finansierede projekt THEMIS 5.0 (Grant Agreement No.101121042)

DEMOCRACY X MORGENMØDE:   Kan kommuner blande sig i, om borgerne spiser klimavenligt?    Er du interesseret i, hvad et socialt tippepunkt er, og hvordan kommuner systematisk kan stimulere borgernes adfærd i en bæredygtig retning? Så kom til Democracy X Morgenmøde 23. oktober og hør om de første danske erfaringer med sociale tippepunkter fra to borgmestre (Line Barfod og Maja Højgaard), der allerede er i gang. Vi holder morgenmødet hos Meyers Madhus, og kok og entreprenør Claus Meyer kommer fortæller om sin madmission, og hvordan den skal blive til virkelighed på danskernes tallerkener. Hør som kommune eller anden aktør, hvordan I selv kommer i gang – og vær med til lancering af vores rapport, der beskriver de første danske erfaringer og teorien bag sociale tippepunkter. 👉 Læs mere og tilmeld dig via vores hjemmeside: https://lnkd.in/eEUq_USS    DEMOCRACY X støtter samfundets aktører i at løse de store udfordringer med demokrati, teknologi og klima. Morgenmødet giver eksempler på hvordan. Tip endelig andre kommuner og aktører, mødet kan være interessant for.
