S4D4C. Using science for / in diplomacy for addressing global challenges

The overall aim of S4D4C (“Using Science for/in Diplomacy for addressing global Challenges”) is to support current and future European science diplomacy for the benefit of European capacities, EU foreign policy goals and especially the development of solutions for global challenges. The overall objective translates into the following specific objectives: Providing new insights and a better understanding of the contributions of science and science collaborations to foreign policy goals, especially in the context of European models and experiences Facilitation of effective and efficient interfaces for European science diplomacy to take better advantage of European science and science cooperation Provision of policy guidance on where and how EU and EU Member State (MS) science diplomacy can be active in the future Better preparation, clearer mandate and stronger identity of European science diplomacy Increased capacities and knowledge resources for EU and MS science diplomacy Expanding global reach and visibility for EU science diplomacy

MORE 3. Study Support data collection and analysis concerning mobility patterns and career paths of researchers

The MORE III study aims at updating, improving and further develop the set of indicators of the MORE2 study in order to meet the need for indicators over time and assess the impact on researchers of policy measures introduced for the development of an open labour market for researchers. This study gathers data to highlight emerging policy needs and priorities regarding mobility patterns, career paths and working conditions of researchers. The study carries out two surveys: the first one addressed to researchers currently working in the EU (and EFTA) in higher education institutions (HEI) and the second one to researchers currently working outside Europe.

Res-Agora -Responsible Research and Innovation in a Distributed Anticipatory Governance Frame. A Constructive Socio-normative Approach

The major goal of the Res-AGorA project is to develop a normative and comprehensive governance framework for Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). This is a contribution to the EU ambition of becoming a genuine Innovation Union by 2020 striving for excellent science, a competitive industry and a better society without compromising on sustainability goals as well as ethically acceptable and socially desirable conditions.

Forward Visions on the European Research Area -The VERA project

The VERA project aims to provide relevant strategic intelligence for the future governance and priority-setting of the research, technology, development and innovation (RTDI) system in Europe and for better adapting science, technology and innovation policy to the shifting global environment and upcoming socio-economic challenges. For this purpose VERA carries out an in-depth stocktaking of RTDI related forward looking activities in Europe and internationally and a thorough review of trends and drivers of long-term change of European RTDI governance. On the base of these insights VERA develops scenarios on the evolution of the European Research Area, assesses the critical issues for the ERA’s future capabilities emerging from these scenarios, explores subsequent strategic options and ultimately generates a set of policy recommendations for responsive and future oriented multi-level, multi-domain RTDI policy strategies.

Research and Innovation Futures 2030: From explorative to transformative scenarios

The RIF project aims to a) systematize knowledge on emerging patterns, trends and drivers of change in ways of doing and organising research in our knowledge societies, b) provide an outlook on future pathways for STI systems and practices by way of scenarios, c) assess and identify key issues of the scenarios against the background of the emerging European Research Area, and) to establish a dialogue on future perspectives for STI in order to identify strategic options and opportunities for action.
