The “Science for Policy in Europe Conference”, taking place between 10 and 11 October, will gather policymakers, science advisors, researchers, ethics experts, and other professionals in science-for-policy to discuss how to create better science-for-policy ecosystems in Europe.
This joint European Research Council (ERC) and the European Parliament's Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA) event will address the critical role of curiosity-driven, frontier research in solving practical challenges in sustainable food production and consumption. ERC-funded researchers will discuss consumer behaviour, greener production processes and the impact on health, food security and trade, together with members of the European Parliament and other prominent speakers.
It is an in-person event.

The ERC dashboard is an interactive tool that features data on ERC funded projects and evaluated proposals.
The tool allows users to access project details with the help of filters, to generate statistics and to export data in different formats.
The ERC is composed of an independent Scientific Council and an Executive Agency.
The Scientific Council governs the ERC and is responsible for setting the ERC's scientific strategy.
It consists of eminent scientists and scholars.
The ERC Executive Agency (ERCEA) implements the ERC strategy as set by the Scientific Council and oversees the day-to-day grant administration.
