The Scientific Advice Mechanism provides independent scientific evidence and policy recommendations to the European institutions by request of the College of Commissioners.
A new intergovernmental panel on chemicals, waste and pollution has officially launched. Its assessments will inform global decision-making across the full lifecycle of chemicals and materials, from production to disposal.

Including a broader range of voices, backgrounds, and experiences in scientific advisory processes makes the evidence stronger, more legitimate, and simply better. That is why equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are essential to high-quality science advice.
The workshop is open to academics, science-policy practitioners and anyone interested in learning more.

Prof. Rémy Slama, speaking for the Group of Chief Scientific Advisors (GCSA) of the European Commission, argued for sovereign European AI tools and urged caution: AI should not currently be used for any decision in a crisis. Humans must remain at the centre. And investment in crisis prevention and preparedness is essential. Access the reports: https://scadv.eu/0vB7fjq
Prof. Tina Comes described a "Goldilocks dilemma": too little trust in AI means useful tools go unused, but too much trust can lead to dangerous autopilot behaviour, especially under the stress of an emergency. The challenge is finding the right balance, depending on the type of AI and the stakes involved.
