(Separate bespoke closed events for RM ROADMAP Ambassadors and Associate Ambassadors have been arranged to take place on the 18 and 21 of September 2023 and have been communicated separately.)
The Knowledge and Community Platform (KCP) constitutes a transformative platform that provides an arena for RMs to initiate, contribute to, and authenticate discussions on a variety of topics, including career pathways. The core design of KCP is dynamic, allowing it to cross beyond national and thematic limits, providing participants with the opportunity to co-create consensus documents and engage in important discussions.
Driving these discussions will be our distinguished RM Roadmap ambassadors in close collaboration with the project consortium. Consensus documents will be discussed on the KCP online platform; these documents are intended to reflect the majority perspective and will be open for participant voting.
We want to emphasise that this event is accessible to all interested parties. The primary aim is to offer a comprehensive introduction to interacting with the RM Roadmap Knowledge and Community Platform before the first session starts in October 2023. We invite every RM to engage and propel this co-creation process forward. Your presence and participation will undoubtedly be crucial to the success of this effort.
The speakers are Nik Claesen, the RM Roadmap Coordinator and Managing Director of the EARMA and Borana Taraj, the Head of European projects at EARMA who is co-cordinating the RM Roadmap project with Nik.

7th International Conference on Internet Science (INSCI 2023), Limassol, Cyprus
2023-09-13 - 2023-09-15
INSCI is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together scholars and practitioners at the intersection of technological, social and economic sciences seeking to learn how the Internet can be used to make our world a better place. Its insights are expected to create a better understanding of this complex socio-technical system we call “Internet”, for instance to inform political decisions on the technological priorities for public funding and to drive a more sustainable and equitable development of the innovation and social ecosystems it supports.
INSCI welcomes fundamental and applied multidisciplinary research, including policy-oriented studies and works offering technological solutions, that investigate the role of Internet for sustainable development, social and economic resilience, collective intelligence, reliable information processing and protection, and, more generally, for a holistic understanding of societal transformations, governance shifts and innovation quests.
INSCI welcomes works done in interdisciplinary teams that may include computer scientists, sociologists, policy makers, economists, designers and artists, or complex system scholars, among others, preferably uniting expertise from social, economic and technical sciences. This kind of work is expected to close the gap between societal / economic impact and requirements and technological developments, seen as both drivers and consequences of each other.

Hydrogen: The missing piece of the puzzle for climate neutrality, Brussels, Belgium
2023-03-21
Hydrogen:
The missing piece of the puzzle for climate neutrality
21 March 2023 I 09:30 – 13:00
LINO Office / Permanent Representation of Lithuania to the EU, Rue Belliard 41-43, 1040 Brussels
Renewable energy generation depends on the efficient use of wind and solar resources and a low-carbon baseload energy source will be crucial to achieving net-zero climate targets. Hydrogen is a significant part of the solutions puzzle together with renewable fuels and electrification. It could be touted as an energy storage vessel and eventually may form part of the solution for variable renewable energy, especially when produced from clean power through electrolysers. Clean hydrogen should have a central place in the climate-neutral economy of the future, and Europe must play a key role as the world’s clean hydrogen trailblazer.
The goal of this in-person event is to discuss the role of clean hydrogen in the EU energy system, the EU initiatives to support the hydrogen research and market and present different activities in the hydrogen domain of each respective country. In addition, the participants will have a possibility to network among each other and discuss possible cooperation plans in the field of hydrogen.

The Pact for Skills is the first and latest development in the new Skills Agenda for Europe initiative. It was launched on 10 November 2020, and it aims to get public and private organisations together and encourage them to make concrete commitments to upskilling and reskilling adults. Additionally, the first speaker from the European Commission will share the latest news and updates, to acquire a better understanding of the aim, what does the Pact for Skills offer, the opportunities presented and how someone can be involved.
Since skills are one of the building blocks of the New European Innovation Agenda, the second presentation will focus on how the European Institute for Innovation & Technology (EIT) will play a prominent role in its implementation. For instance, EIT will contribute to the objectives of the Innovation Agenda by supporting 1 million deep tech talents over a 3-year period across all Member States.
