Submitted by Leone Wheeler on August 23, 2016 - 12:04

The purpose of this PASCAL Special Interest Group (SIG) is to examine the interface between PASCAL and the public policy sectors. While this topic is a very broad it cuts across sectors and issues, including innovative resource sharing and the role of institutions of higher education, and those organizations that develop policy. It includes the development of intercultural activity.

PASCAL Special Interest Groups

Submitted by Chris Shepherd on August 23, 2016 - 11:23

PASCAL is establishing a series of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to give focus to the advice required by the Board in particular areas.

The Groups will consist of 6 to 8 people, made up of academics and  practitioners in the public, private and NGO sectors and will have a wide geographical spread and gender balance so far as possible. The members of the Groups will serve for up to 3 years with the possibility of renewal and the Groups will report to the Board at least annually with the invitation to report more frequently when needed.

The future of the European science and technology field depends on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). Wider engagement with European citizens, stakeholders and users is a crucial part of this emerging landscape. Regardless of what role you play in research and innovation in the future you will need to consider how societal actors can work with you to address societal challenges.

Engaging communities and universities in the public good

Submitted by Budd Hall on May 9, 2015 - 13:19

The recent wave of tragic deaths in the Mediterranean Sea of Mothers, Fathers, Children and Babies underscores the depth of inequality, which persists, or even increases, in our troubled world.  The fact that some of these people have been headed to the very city, Catania, where we are meeting, means that we must no longer speak of higher education or universities in technical, managerial or abstracted terms.
