In an interview by the Austrian Academy of Sciences to mark the 25th anniversary of #EASAC, our President Lise Øvreås shares her perspective on the importance of #Science4Policy advice, and why it matters more than ever to address today’s complex global challenges.

Last week, EASAC held its annual Council Meeting in Nicosia, hosted by the Cyprus Academy of Sciences, Letters and Arts and national partners. Discussions on #Science4Policy in times of crisis, strategy and partnership updates reinforced our mission to provide science advice for a resilient Europe.

🛡️ Shielding Europe from Energy Price Shocks and Shortages by Accelerating Change

⚡ Europe is facing its biggest energy crisis in a century, mandating an accelerated transition to home-grown renewable energies. Today, we have launched a new Commentary which emphasises that radical energy system transformation and integration is a strategic imperative.

#EASAC works across 3 #science4policy programmes: #Energy, #Environment and #Biosciences & Public Health.

🔬 But what are biosciences, actually? And why do they matter for policy, industry and society? Here, we explain the key principles and disciplines.

🌍 “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.
