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.

Testimonial

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022,  aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.

The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
