New paper! 📢 How has the #affectedness of economic sectors impacted preferences on #pandemicpolicy?

Our team at the European University Institute explores the structural factors that influence sectors to be in favor of protecting either the economy or public health. ↔️

Concerned about this:

"the ‘top up’ trigger of 8 per cent needs to be reached in two consecutive years to require extra payments – meaning that theoretically the UK could be a huge net beneficiary in one year, and yet avoid paying more if its net gain fell to 7.9 per cent the following year."

Means the UK government may try to meddle into who applies and when. Has this top up trigger been confirmed?

"The UK has joined the EU's Horizon science funding scheme – but if we want the UK to lead, the hard work has just begun"

Cooperation and a large degree of humility is called for. And not just forced by UK exclusion from the management of Horizon Europe.

@cyrilpedia funny thing is it's been sold triumphantly as "bespoke" deal (as I've predicted for other things #Brexit).

But it's nonsense - the bespoke bit is in case UK scientists are less successful than expected, they will pay less in. Reason it's nonsense is that historically the exact opposite was true - UK scientists were disproportionately successful & therefore UK a net beneficiary.

All smoke and mirrors to reverse needless harm done. #ukpolitics #horizon #horizoneurope #HorizonEU #UK

🧊 What is Objective 1 of OCEAN:ICE? 🧊

Over the next 7 episodes of our #OCEANICEBreakers we breakdown the specific objectives of the project. Today we start off with Objective 1!

Big news for #UK science: "The UK is to return to the flagship #HorizonEurope science research programme, Rishi Sunak has confirmed.…From Thursday [today], British scientists can apply once again for grants from the £85bn programme, a move that will be welcomed with jubilation from the science community in the UK which was once one of the leading beneficiaries of the fund."

#REGROUP turned 1! 🎉

In September last year, the REGROUP project officially kicked off. Now we can look back to a productive year:

🎈Hosted events & academic workshops
🎈Organised #minipublics
🎈Launched our first papers
🎈Shared news & results in blogs & videos

👏 to the team!

After a long day of discussing research proposals for the #horizoneurope programme we relax with doing some additional research on Dialogue Systems in the wild. What can we learn from great games like Disco Elysium in developing our #opensource dialogue platform?

Apparently, after years of quarrel, the #UK has finally rejoined the European Union's research framework. 🎉 #HorizonEurope #ERC #ResearchFunding

I find that one should take note of the facts and pay little attention to opinions. So today we celebrate that the UK is once again part of the ERC academic research and funding system.

The UK government put out a press release:

"UK joins Horizon Europe under a new bespoke deal"

About bloody time.

"UK expected to re-join Horizon science scheme"

Thank goodness for that, and about time too. Looking forward to being able to make plans with EU collaborators with more certainty about how it'll all work!
