Meet the Joint Research Centre
Powered by the European Commission's Science and knowledge service, the Joint Research Centre (JRC), this workshop will provide an interactive platform to discover what happens when the world of knowledge and science collides with the domain of public engagement.
Following a brief introduction three top speakers from the JRC will give a stunning visual presentation of areas of JRC work, from climate change to soil quality and ageing population to electromobility and smart cities.
The presentations will focus both on the wealth of available scientific data and on available interactive tools, and the possibility to develop demonstrations together. Following these talks the audience will take part in a "speed dating" to discuss how science centres could potentially interact with the JRC.
