Enhancing EU R&I

From the organisers: Despite ongoing efforts to address gender equal participation in research and innovation (R&I), women still account for only 33% of EU researchers. And this isn't just about fairness and equal opportunities - it's about unlocking Europe's full innovative potential. With such gender underrepresentation in shaping scientific breakthroughs, we miss crucial perspectives that could solve tomorrow's challenges more effectively. The stakes are high. As global competition in science and technology intensifies, the EU cannot afford to waste talent or limit the diversity of minds tackling complex problems. Gender equality in R&I is a strategic imperative for maintaining Europe's competitive edge and ensuring research serves everyone, not just some.

The presentations and discussions will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current challenges and opportunities in promoting gender equality in R&I, and to identify effective strategies and solutions for addressing these challenges. This workshop will contribute to a more inclusive and equitable R&I ecosystem in Europe, where gender equality is valued and promoted, and contributes to lead in science and innovation.

The programme, registration form and web stream will be made available in the announcement on the website of the European Parliament.

PBNv2 - a MSCA ITN in the field of automotive R&D

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Innovative Training Network “PBNv2 - Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles” started in May 2017. Their research has the shared objective of investigating the possibilities to decrease pass-by noise of vehicles.

The project is a collaboration between 17 research institutions and companies in the European automotive R&D and provides a learning environment for 14 PhD fellows. The Belgian partner is the Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven, and this project is one of the many Horizon 2020 MSCA Innovative Training Networks that the KU Leuven research group participates in.
