On the 5th and 6th of November, our coordinator Angela Simone from Fondazione Giannino Bassetti led the 4th meeting of the MLE on Public Engagement for R&I - an initiative backed by the European Commission. 🇩🇪 The two-day event in Berlin was hosted by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF). Angela presented deliberative methods and the #ORRI approach as a means of democratizing science and innovation. And of course, showcased #REINFORCING and the just-launched ORRI platform in which many tools and resources are on Public Engagement in R&I. 💡 A report of the event will be elaborated in the following weeks and hopefully released before Christmas break. Stay tuned!

A recent study highlights the crucial role of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) research fellowships in the European R&I field. This report, released by the European Commission, highlights «the contribution of the MSCA to strengthening human capital in research and innovation and stimulating the mobility of researchers across the European continent.» It also recalls that its benefit could help many more projects, but that will be only possible by increasing funds for MSCA. 👉 Read the study here: https://lnkd.in/dFX4H_9u.
