The EASAC Board met in Oslo on 27-28 April, kindly hosted by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.
Board members and programme directors discussed strategic challenges, upcoming milestones and ways to increase the impact of the science advice provided by European academies through EASAC.
🤝 Last week in Brussels, EASAC President Lise Øvreås met with Sabine Henzler, Director for Strategy and Impact at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, to further collaboration under the Memorandum of Understanding between the two institutions.
➡️ #EASAC looks forward to continued cooperation with the JRC to inform EU policymaking.
🛡️ 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 #Energy #EnergyCrisis #EnergyTransition #ItsScience #Science4Policy
In a letter to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), leading scientists, including #EASAC experts, urge the #IPCC to fix loopholes in its carbon-accounting rules.
They warn: splitting land-use and #energy carbon accounting lets countries claim #CO2 cuts not reflected in real emissions across the whole life cycle.

⚠️ South-East Europe’s #energy security faces heightened pressure amid escalating geopolitical tensions, including the wars in #Iran and #Ukraine, which are disrupting energy supplies and driving up prices.
♻️🔋 New pipelines are not the answer, said Neven Duić, Co-Chair of the #EASAC Energy Steering Panel at an event hosted by the Institute of Energy for South-East Europe (IENE) at @europarl_en last week. Instead, he urged the region to unlock its renewable potential.
