European Union in the Philippines’ Post

🚄 Speed. It's not every day you kickstart an initiative that's hard to slow down. Since joining Public Sector Network just 6 months ago, I've witnessed an undeniable demand for cross-sector collaboration come to life: 👉 7 esteemed ANZ academic institutions sign on as Research Partners. 👉 235 ANZ Gov Executives register for our first wave of discussions. 👉 10 major industry partners snap up all limited private sector seats for inaugural first sessions. Spearheading the launch of our Public Sector Research Innovation Council made me realise how ready people are to not just sit around a table but really create an ecosystem for continuous knowledge sharing at the cutting-edge, free from the usual red tape and risk-aversion that stifles innovation. Events truly are an ancillary to a well-defined reason to meet. When you can clearly define that purpose, everything else falls into place. Connecting government, academia, and industry sounds simple enough, but it’s the strategic commitment behind it that really makes it bold.

The mission to foster true multi-stakeholder collaboration is at the core of the #D4DHub. Therefore, we have established a trusted platform for dialogue with the private sector, civil society and academia through our advisory groups. This is your opportunity to join us and help #TeamEurope promote a human-centric digital transformation worldwide. We currently have more than 150 members and the numbers are still growing. In light of upcoming D4D Hub activities, we are particularly keen to expand our membership to like-minded stakeholders in Asia-Pacific and the EU neighbouring countries.

Central Asia on 10 October: https://bit.ly/4gn0lbB More regional webinars will come soon! #GlobalGateway #DigitalTransformation

To advance transitions to a sustainable future we need to challenge our current understanding of scaling and develop new strategies, methodologies and ways of thinking. But what will get us there?    Hosted with the generous support of the Generalitat de Catalunya and in collaboration with the Deep Transitions Lab, we will be uniting researchers, policymakers and investors from across the globe to tackle this question together during our engagement week in Barcelona this September.    Throughout the week, we will explore how scaling experimentation can catalyse systems change through Transformative Innovation and Transformative Investment. We will look at how the dynamics of scaling are navigated, how public and private actors can collaborate and address our assumptions about paths to success.    We will be sharing insights on the engagement week on our communications channels so stay tuned for insights and moments! 🚀💡        The event will also provide opportunities for the next generation of change agents – including university students based in Africa, Europe and Latin America – to engage with investors and explore a shared agenda towards a more sustainable future.    Up to 150 participants will take part in the programme, which will be made up of two components:  - Wednesday 18th – Thursday 19th September: TIPC member and DT Lab partner activities  - Friday 20th September: Conference for the TIP and DT Lab knowledge communities    For more details, check out: https://lnkd.in/ePv4XKdv   Please note that due to venue capacity, we have limited places for the knowledge community conference. However, we will be sending out a call for submissions and provide more information on how to register your interest.      To keep updated, sign up for the TIPC Digital Digest: https://lnkd.in/es6gV2B4 or follow the Deep Transitions Lab. 🚀💡      #ScalingExperimentation #EngagementWeek #Barcelona    Utrecht University Centre for Global Challenges (UGlobe), University of Sussex Business School, University of Sussex Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU), Transformative Innovation Africa Hub, HUB Latinoamericano y Caribeño de Innovación Transformativa Johan Schot Victoria Shaw David Brimage

Calling all of my international researcher friends and acquaintances! Looking for an interesting *paid* side-gig assessing top-notch research grant applications? NOTE the deadline is very soon (Aug 11). 'The Board of Innovation Fund Denmark has recently decided to set up four new committees which will both assess applications for the Grand Solutions programme and decide which of these will subsequently receive a grant. The committees are set up with their own thematic focus, and they will each consist of both ‘impact experts’ who have the competencies for assessing the commercial and strategic potential for Denmark, and international established researchers who have the competencies for assessing the quality of the research and innovation of the applications at an international scale.' Themes: “Green Research, Technology Development and Innovation”, “Life Sciences, Health and Welfare Technology”, “Quantum Technology” and “New Technologies and Artificial Intelligence”. https://lnkd.in/dft5Find

Ecorys recently participated in this year’s European Research and Innovation Days. 📝🚀💡 This event brings together stakeholders including policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and the public to discuss and share experiences on how research and innovation (R&I) impacts our society. Participants and panellists have been exchanging their ideas on the future of R&I and its role in making Europe more competitive and sustainable. 🌱🌍 We are involved in a number of #ResearchAndInnovation projects, including the Green Deal Projects Support Office (GD-SO), which supports 73 projects funded by the European Commission under the Green Deal Call. The GD-SO brings together these projects designed to accelerate a just and sustainable transition to a climate-neutral Europe by 2050 and supports them and facilitating collaboration, sharing best practices, and increasing their impact. 🤝 The GD-SO is one of the few projects selected to have a stand at this year’s R&I days and also participated in a main session during the event. Find out more about the GD-SO’s participation in R&I days here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eYZv7pY9 #RIDaysEU #research #innovation #green

Excellent resource. Partnerships are vital for impact, and power can be an unseen obstacle.

We're looking forward to uniting researchers, policymakers and investors from across the globe in Barcelona this September. To advance transitions to a #sustainable future, we need to challenge our current understanding of scaling and develop new strategies, methodologies and ways of thinking. 🚀 During this week, we'll explore how scaling experimentation can catalyse systems change, how the dynamics of scaling are navigated, and how public and private actors can collaborate. We hope to align visions of the future, create a space for deep learning and make connections that will support a sustainable transition. 🌱💡 Stay tuned for updates and insights! #sustainableinvesting #investing #systemschange #ScalingExperimentation Johan Schot, Diana Velasco, Roberta Benedetti del Rio

Effective communication and collaboration between companies and EU institutions in Brussels are key to shaping a business-friendly environment. Engaging in constructive dialogue ensures that the challenges and opportunities faced by industries are understood and addressed, helping to create policies that drive innovation, growth, and sustainable development. By working together, both sectors can align on shared goals and contribute to a thriving economic future. Really proud to be part of this winning team NEUROPUBLIC S.A.

Today I had the pleasure to meet with one of our long-term collaborators, MP Aura Salla. Thank you for the good points you raised about the importance of seeing the European talent gap in a more holistic way! Coders are of course important, but also the whole society must support acquiring and keeping talents - and their families. I would like to add also the importance of building competences for developing and applying technologies in new emerging fields of research and business, to increase the impact of research, to transform business models and to boost innovation. So: technology isn't only about technology, but about how the whole society organises its structures and systems. #technology #competencedevelopment #RDI #digitaltransformation
