Towards the 2030 Agenda and beyond: European cooperation within a new citizens–science–policy interface

The EEAC Network is celebrating its 25th Annual Conference on 12 and 13 October 2017 in Maastricht, the Netherlands, with an extraordinary event, entitled: Towards the 2030 Agenda and beyond: European cooperation within a new citizens–science–policy interface.

Like many other organizations, the EEAC network is challenged by the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the present political and societal atmosphere, and the changing interface between science, policy and society. Citizens are claiming their voice, and are no longer taking established facts and institutions for granted.

We need renewed inspiration for European cooperation that goes beyond borders, silos and institutional barriers. The 25th EEAC Annual Conference will be dedicated to these needs.

The conference will be hosted by the Dutch Council for the Environment and Infrastructure, together with the Environment and Nature Council of Flanders, The Federal Council for Sustainable Development in Belgium and the Grand-Duke’s Council for Sustainable Development in Luxembourg.
