Final Conference
ISEED’s Final Conference
Fostering Participation in Science and Democracy
Background
From June 11th to June 12th, 2024, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology hosted the ISEED Final Conference, in Brussels, Belgium. Entitled “Fostering Participation in Science and Democracy”, this meeting was a culmination of our groundbreaking research and innovative findings.
The meeting spotlighted the project’s outputs and opened the floor for discussion, including proposals and recommendations that have evolved from our diverse research efforts. This event was a fantastic opportunity to review our accomplishments, consider their practical applications, and share insights with a wider audience beyond our project’s consortium.
The meeting included public presentations of ISEED research and results, interactive discussion and a presentation of our case studies in a poster session.
ISEED project partners joined us in person, making this a truly impactful event. The conference brought together representatives from our top institutions, Ca’Foscari University in Venice (UNIVE), University of Pisa (UNIPI), University of Palermo (UNIPA), University of Trento (UNITN), Observa Science in Society (Observa), National Museum of Natural History (MHNH), École Normale Supérieure (ENS), University of Warsaw (UNIWAR), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Institute of Regional and Urban Development (IRMiR), Applied Research and Communication Fund (ARC), University Pompeu Fabra (UPF), University of Exeter (UNEXE), University College Dublin (UCD), Ministry of Education Uruguay (MEC), and the Danish Board of Technology (DBT). The conference was a great occasion for us to gather in person and focus on the work done by discussing the mission, objectives, outputs, and project aims of ISEED.
The conference was a transformative event bringing together science and democracy. In this website section you can find diverse materials from this fruitful encounter. An overview of the two days, the posters presented, among other content you can find below!
