We asked you who you mainly share your results. No surprise that you answered: "other researchers". But to have real impact, it's also important to engage with policymakers, civil society and business. Watch the video to find out six reasons why this is crucial for your #research results. Sharing your research widely can help your work feed into policymaking as well as boost the uptake of your findings in start-ups. Let’s make some noise and show everyone the magic of your work! #OpenScience #ResearchImpactEU #Science4Policy

In troubling times, what role is there for science to play? This weekend, we mark the World Science Day for Peace and Development, on 10 November. It's a time to reflect on the positive - and often understated - influence research can have on society. To mark the occasion last year, we compiled a list of projects advancing science's positive legacy: from improving conflict resolution to delivering on the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals. Give these projects and read - and let us reflect on how research, its results and findings, can contribute to creating the conditions for peace and in turn, allow for societies to flourish. #WorldScienceDay #PeaceDay

Name an inspirational scientist! We'll start: Marie Skłodowska-Curie. On this day, 157 years ago, #MarieSkłodowskaCurie was born. A scientist who paved the way for future generations Marie Skłodowska-Curie is an icon for those seeking to push the boundaries of science. Her groundbreaking research in radioactivity led to two Nobel Prizes, in two different fields, and a lasting impact on our understanding of the world. She is also the namesake of the European Union's flagship funding schemes for doctoral and post-doctoral researchers: the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). We support thousands of excellent researchers under the #MSCA - which is a testament to the values Marie Skłodowska-Curie embodied: dedication, curiosity, and a commitment to making a difference. We that the work of the programme's namesake inspires the future of research. Happy Birthday, Marie Skłodowska-Curie!

The European Commission has adopted the new #EUResearchArea (ERA) Communication! It’s called "Strengthening Europe’s Research and Innovation: The ERA’s Journey and Future Directions". It comes at a pivotal moment for the implementation of the EU’s single market for research and innovation. Four years ago, the revamp of the ERA started with the 2020 ERA Communication. This led to the Pact for Research and Innovation, showing EU countries to strengthen research and innovation policies and set joint priorities. The ERA Policy Agendas translated these into specific actions with three-year work plans, with the next phase from 2025 to 2027 currently being developed by the European Commission, EU countries, and stakeholders. The #Letta and #Draghi reports emphasise the need to further implement the ERA to enhance Europe’s competitiveness. The Communication is well-timed to: - Take stock of the current situation - Assess the progress made - Identify challenges and gaps Interested? Find out more: europa.eu/!Y6YwWn

In the EU, we use nearly 26kg of textiles per person per year. We also discard about 11kg of them. 87% of these used clothes go to incinerators or landfill - accounting for up to 10% of our carbon footprint. Our fashion choices are contributing to the #ClimateCrisis. That is why the EU is funding research and innovation projects to further develop technologies and processes for #textile recycling. Read about six cutting-edge EU-funded projects that are remodelling the textile industry to switch to a #CircularEconomy: europa.eu/!ythWPJ #FastFashion

No one should be left behind in the #ClimateCrisis - especially the world's most vulnerable communities. Dozens of countries around the world are strongly impacted by the negative effects of climate change and are frequently least equipped to handle them. In the light of the unfolding climate crisis, this year’s COP29 Azerbaijan will take place from 11 to 22 November to foster global cooperation and common measures 🍃 It is crucial to move from talk to action. It is time to #ActNow. Key EU-funded projects, managed by the European Research Executive Agency (REA), are supporting those communities whose food, way of life and culture at risk.
