🌍 “What makes #nextGEMS unique is its inclusivity.”

For Dragana Bojovic (BSC), that means more than diversity—it’s about building a space where climate scientists, social scientists, communication experts, early-career researchers, and professors work side-by-side to create knowledge with society, not just for it.

In our new video, “Thriving on collaboration, openness, and the co-creation of knowledge for a better future”, Dragana shares how nextGEMS fostered inclusivity through:

⬛ #Hackathons – from hands-on climate data exploration to society-oriented workshops on themes like the energy transition
⬛ #SocialNetworkAnalysis – studying how collaborations form and evolve during these events
⬛ #Storyline co-creation – bringing ministries, renewable energy reps, and scientists together to design climate-resilient futures
⬛ #ScienceExplainers & #PolicyBriefs – translating research into action
 
The result? A vibrant, interdisciplinary community that Dragana hopes will thrive well beyond the project’s lifetime.

Policy Brief: Role of chemicals and polymers of concern in the global plastics treaty

This policy brief provides arguments and insights on why and how plastic chemicals and polymers of concern  should be integrated in the global plastics treaty. The document is an output of the Scientists' Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty (SCEPT working group on chemicals, polymers and products) and aims at policymakers involved in the Intergovernmental Negotiation Committee (INC). A French and Spanish version of the brief will be available soon.
