We provide independent scientific evidence and policy recommendations to the European institutions. #scienceadvice #scienceforpolicy
@euscienceadvice.bsky.social@euscienceadvice.bsky.socialIs it too political to talk about gender, race, class or climate in science advice? Anna M. Górska of Kozminski University argues that courage alone is not enough: diverse voices also need institutional support. SAPEA has now published its diversity strategy. scadv.eu/5JHl4fI
@euscienceadvice.bsky.socialWhat role for science academies in the age of AI? Join us in Tallinn or online on 20 November for an event led by EASAC with the Estonian Academy of Sciences.

@euscienceadvice.bsky.socialSAPEA launches its Strategy on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in a free webinar on 5 October, 15:00–16:00 CEST. It sets ten principles for how experts work together. Do they match how you work? Register and bring your questions to the live Q&A. scadv.eu/0q1uODx
@euscienceadvice.bsky.socialA Russian drone struck the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine on Monday, killing at least two people. The Academy is a member of ALLEA, one of the networks behind SAPEA. Our thoughts are with the families of those who died and with our colleagues there. scadv.eu/lNKRCVZ
@euscienceadvice.bsky.socialEASAC has begun work on water scarcity and retention in European landscapes, with a report due in 2027. A working group of 21 experts will assess how to redesign landscapes to hold more water. Watch the interview: scadv.eu/3mFzcAg
@euscienceadvice.bsky.socialThe session asks what it takes to give robust, independent advice when the ground keeps shifting: how credibility holds up under political pressure, how to be honest about uncertainty without being ignored, and what Europe's science advice institutions need in order to be ready for what comes next.
@euscienceadvice.bsky.socialMartin Kahanec joins Phoebe Koundouri, Noel de Miranda, Balázs Gulyás and Mihály Pósfai on the panel. Donald Dingwell, chair of the SAPEA Board, will open the session, and Steve Evans of the University of Cambridge will moderate.
