ERC MSCA Culture and society

This MSCA lunchtime conversation session will explore the interplay between citizens’ diverse identities and the values attached to them on one hand, and political attitudes and behaviours regarding often polarising issues (e.g. health, climate, migration) on the other. 

The discussion will address perspectives on public policies and responsible institutions at national or EU level. The speakers will present relevant findings from their projects, comment on policy implications of their work and reflect on the responsibility and capacity of science to (in)form citizens’ views/opinions.

About the MSCA lunchtime conversations

The aim of the MSCA lunchtime conversations is to provide a space for exchange between researchers, practitioners and policy makers on the proposed topic through close interaction between science and policy. 

In the case of democracy series, the topic is the meaning of democracy and different forms of democratic participation of citizens, in different institutional and societal contexts.

Deadline to register: 6 March 2025, 12.00 CET

More information and the registration link is available in the announcement on the MSCA website.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
