Invitation To JPI Climate Symposium [via BDE-Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials Community Group]

Designing Comprehensive Open Knowledge Policies to Face Climate Change Vienna /
October 22-23, 2015

Facing societal challenges like climate change implies to rethink the manner how
data and information are managed to generate knowledge with problem-solving
character. In a context marked by a growing demand of openness within our
societies, climate research activities have a unique opportunity to increase
their credibility and their influence when executing mitigation and adaption
policies. To do so, comprehensive approaches that bear in mind both barriers and
potentialities of approaches like “Open Access” or “Open Science” are
needed. 

The Joint Programming Initiative “JPI Climate” (www.jpi-climate.eu) is a
European network of national funding organisations working together to
coordinate jointly their climate research agendas and to fund new transnational
research initiatives. JPI Climate is committed with transparency both in its
daily business and also by promoting it in the climate research community, and
therefore is glad to invite you to the symposium “Designing Comprehensive Open
Knowledge Policies to Face Climate Change” (Vienna, October 22-23). This event
will address 3 aims: 

 To foster the discussion on how to promote, design and implement effective
and comprehensive policies towards what is called “Open Access” and “Open
knowledge” within the climate-relevant research community (including policy
makers, funding agencies, research institutions, practitioners and non-academic
stakeholders like NGOs, SMEs, or from the civil society). 

 To build capacity through the presentation and discussion of good practices
from both the climate research (including research funding organisations and
foundations) and other fields of knowledge. 

 To reinforce and legitimatise the JPI Climate Guidelines on Open Knowledge
(recently adopted by the JPI Climate GB:
www.jpi-climate.eu/jpi-themes/OpenAccessOpenKnowledge) as a toolbox for policy
makers and research funding organisations when designing and executing climate
research policies. 

By participating in the sessions you have the chance to involve yourself in the
discussions, to present your own views, to share visions and opinions and to get
to know innovative developments in this issue. All this regardless of your
previous experience in the topic. 

If you have interest to participate, please fill in the following online
registration form
