This MSCA lunchtime conversation session will focus on digital democracy and digital skills that citizens need to critically navigate the online public sphere. 

It will look into different aspects of democratic participation in the era of social media and online platforms exposed to fake news and dis/misinformation, and the role of artificial Intelligence in shaping the ways of consuming and creating content.

Like the first event, the second MSCA lunchtime conversation will bring together representatives of different Commission services and scientific leaders/coordinators of EU-funded projects to present their work on the topic and engage in an active discussion with each other and with the audience (individual researchers, project leaders, policy makers, practitioners, civil society representatives, interested citizens).

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.
