Earlier this month at the European Parliament, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and scientists met in a series of bilateral meetings, and at the Science and Technology Options Assessment (STOA). EuCheMS was represented by Prof. David Cole-Hamilton, paired with MEP Catherine Stihler, and by Prof. Pavel Drašar, paired with MEP Pavel Poc.
These meetings took place under the initiatives “Science Meets Parliaments” and the “MEP-Scientist Pairing Scheme” which aim to show the links between policy-making and research and to promote mutual understanding and long-term cooperation between MEPs and researchers.
