Programmes
MSCA Joint Research Center

The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC) and the Joint Research Centre (JRC) are organising the third edition of the science-policy matchmaking event. In this event they will

  • discuss opportunities for researchers’ mobility and training in public administration
  • present concrete examples of strengthening evidence-based policymaking through science-policy interactions
  • look into examples of good practice in communicating scientific results to policymakers

You will have the opportunity to hear from national policymakers taking part in two multi-stakeholder projects for evidence-based policymaking as well as from individual researchers - doctoral and postdoctoral fellows - involved in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA).

Registration for the online event is required. The agenda and registration form are available in the announcement on the MSCA website. 

About EAC-JRC matchmaking events

EAC-JRC science-policy matchmaking events are part of the science-policy initiative to bring researchers and policymakers closer for stronger evidence-based policymaking. The event will be guided by examples in MSCA and JRC. Everyone from the wider R&I community interested in hearing about science-policy cooperation is welcome to join and share their experience - researchers, national and international policymakers, knowledge brokers, project leaders. The event will provide targeted opportunities for discussion.

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa.  By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
