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.

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.
