GRIOS - Global Research Initiative on Open Science’s Post

🌡️ Abstract submission open for the CLIMES 2026 conference The Earth System Governance Project has partnered with the CLIMES 2026 conference "Climate Impacts in a Changing World", taking place in Uppsala, Sweden, 9-11 March 2026. 🔺The conference will bring together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on the far-reaching impacts of climate extremes on both human and natural systems, ultimately advancing integrated approaches to address climate impacts and build a just, sustainable future. 🔺 Abstract submissions that explore climate extremes are welcome from diverse disciplinary perspectives and interdisciplinary approaches that bridge conventional subject boundaries, including natural sciences, medical and health sciences, social and economic sciences, and engineering. Deadline for submission: 2 November 2025 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dUxzpVkt

Supporting open science practices With its emphasis on transparency, accessibility, and collaboration, open science speeds up scientific progress and facilitates the rapid sharing of knowledge. For researchers, sharing research outputs openly is crucial to address the world’s most urgent challenges, from poverty to climate change. This blog series explains how and why research data, code and protocols should be shared, and what the benefits are to authors and the wider scientific community: http://spklr.io/6047BH7Oh

Representatives of science academies across the Americas gathered recently at the Inter-American Network of Academies of Sciences (IANAS) General Assembly meeting to explore how to strengthen science in the region as a tool for tackling critical social, environmental, and technological challenges facing the hemisphere. 🌎 “We need science and technology to address many pressing global concerns," said #NASmember and IANAS Co-Chair Karen Strier. "This is a responsibility we share as a scientific community." Read more about the discussions at the conference: https://lnkd.in/ea529KgS

In our first Global Research Newsletter of the academic year, Professor Rebecca J. Lingwood FREng, Vice‑Chancellor (interim) reflects on Lancaster University’s growing global footprint and research impact. Features include Lancaster University Leipzig’s research strengths in AI and management with Jian Wang and Jienjun Hu-Bols, Professor Nick Dunn’s book Dark Futures on light pollution, Jana Purkiss and Emanuele Giorgi on the globalisation of tropical diseases, Phil Haygarth on the global importance of phosphorus, and we catch-up with Lancaster alumna Dr Aluna Everitt at the University of Canterbury. Also featured in this month’s Global Research Newsletter: Mark Roulston, Kim Kaivanto on How market competition can deliver better climate change forecasting, 'More Crop Per Drop' with Ian Dodd, Elizabete Carmo-Silva and Martin Parry, and we celebrate David Higgitt's time at BJTU and his receiving of the 2025 Wing Ip Medal by the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society Read the full issue and subscribe on our website: https://lnkd.in/gRjQBGzX

Excited to share our latest publication from our interdisciplinary project on the relationship between climate change and migration, published by Nature's Communication Earth and Environment. This paper comes at an opportune time when countries in the Global North are moving towards increasingly more restrictive migration policies and border controls while the climate change and its associated impacts, especially in the Global South worsen. Excellent collaboration from co-authors: @Xiaoye Chang, @Deliang Cheng, and @Anders Burman.

We are proud to announce that Professor Daniela Perrotti from UCLouvain - Université catholique de Louvain has been appointed as a Lead Author for the European State of the Climate (ESOTC) report. Dr Perrotti will co-lead the 'Policy and Action' section for the upcoming 2025 report 🔍 Published annually by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), the 𝐄𝐒𝐎𝐓𝐂 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 is a flagship scientific assessment. It tracks key climate indicators like rising temperatures, glacier retreat, and significant weather events across Europe. The report’s purpose is to provide a transparent evidence base, turning complex data into a compass for informed action. This is a significant recognition for the Belgian climate science community. We are particularly pleased as Dr Perrotti is the sole Lead Author based in a Belgian institution for this edition. Her expertise as Head of the Urban Metabolism Lab will bring a valuable perspective. Work begins this October. You can explore past reports and learn more about this essential work here: https://lnkd.in/eesVWf-T We wish her and the international team every success! ✨ #ESOTC #ClimateScience #ClimatePolicy #Belgium #ScienceCommunication #C3S | Copernicus ECMWF | BELSPO - Belgian Science Policy Office

❗Together with Stepien Adam, we finalised our research developments in the Arctic PASSION project by publishing the last Policy Paper - "Data-driven Subnational Decision-making in the Arctic: Towards Future Actions". 🌍 The recommendations outlined in this Policy Paper, aimed at strengthening the science-policy nexus and encouraging evidence-based decision-making, are grounded in four years of engagement with local and regional decision-makers and various stakeholders within the scope of the Arctic PASSION project. The concepts presented in the Policy Paper have been validated through consultations with local officials during two workshops held in December 2024 and January 2025 (in cooperation with the Arctic Urban-Regional Cooperation programme) and through structured interviews. 💪 Six comprehensive categories of proposed actions, perceived as the most feasible and garnering the greatest support from committed decision-makers and researchers, have been identified: 📑 Research results or outcomes should be usable and easily understandable. 💶 Invest in generating and aggregating data supporting the tracking of social indicators that link directly to climate and environmental strategies. 🌐 National and EU policymakers should support structured and long-term cooperation between Arctic municipalities and regions regarding climate mitigation/adaptation and economic transitions. ❄️ Develop Arctic-specific benchmarks for local actions and policies on green transition and monitor them with accessible, tailored tools. 💾 Facilitate the inclusion of data generated at the local level of governance into national and international databases. 🤝 Facilitate long-term collaboration between local decision-makers and local Arctic research institutions. ❓To gain a comprehensive understanding of why and how these recommendations have been established, as well as their significance, please refer to the full Policy Paper attached.

This is pinpointing some of the challenges we have in Arctic data management, our rather data management in general. There are clear gaps to close...

Last September, Professor Matthew Letzelter, Chair of General Fine Arts and Professor of Print Media at PNCA, traveled to Chile to present at the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research Conference (SCAR24). His collaborative project explored Antarctic ocean warming and disrupted currents, presented through a visual printmaking lens as part of a panel on the intersection of art and science. As the only print-focused work among diverse media, his contribution sparked international conversations on how the arts can communicate complex climate science. Beyond SCAR24, Letzelter’s prints have been exhibited at Northeastern University, will be published in an upcoming data/design journal, and are under consideration for presentation in Australia - further extending PNCA’s cross-disciplinary reach in global climate dialogue.
