The Scientific Advice Mechanism will formally hand over its scientific advice on advanced materials to Ekaterina Zaharieva, European Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation. This advice comes at a pivotal moment, as the European Commission prepares the Advanced Materials Act. Advanced materials are designed to deliver...
Advanced materials are intentionally designed and engineered materials with innovative properties and functionalities. The Scientific Advice Mechanism has been asked to advise on how these materials can add impetus to EU strategic autonomy and how to promote innovation. Scoping paper, by the European Commission Our advice will...
Solar radiation modification’ is an umbrella term for proposed technologies that would reflect more sunlight back into space, or allow more infrared radiation to escape into space, thereby creating a net cooling effect on the Earth’s climate.What are the options on SRM technologies, and what...
During 2022-2024, the Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) has produced four reports based on the main question: How can Sweden and Europe sustainably secure the supply of metals and minerals? The reports are available in Swedish and English here: click here International seminar: How can...
For decades, technologies have been proposed that would reduce or counteract global warming by reflecting sunlight away from the Earth. These proposals, known as “solar radiation modification” technologies, include stratospheric aerosol injection, cloud brightening, and others. DOWNLOAD REPORT Climate modelling suggests that some of these technologies might...
The origins of the contemporary One Health concept can be traced to the middle of the twentieth century, and the growing recognition that important linkages and interdependencies exist between the management of human and animal health, and that therefore these should not be managed in...
The UK Royal Academy of Engineering has opened the fifth round of the Distinguished International Associates programme, focused on AI and related technologies.Lead applicants must be mid- to late-career and working in (or close to) AI or similar technologies (machine learning, autonomous systems, etc) and...
