[Picture 1(1)] EU CALLS FOR AMBITIOUS GOALS AT COP27 The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) is being held\u00a0 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, between 6-18 November. The EU pushes to increase actions to mitigate the interconnected climate and biodiversity crises and deliver on the Paris Agreement. The European Parliament is also being represented at the event \u2013 14 members of the Committees ENVI and ITRE are present in Sharm El Sheikh. Learn more about it here [4]. BRNO DECLARATION TO STRENGTHEN GLOBAL RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES The International Conference on Research Infrastructures (ICRI), organised by the European Commission and the Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union, was held between 19-21 October 2022. On the last day of the conference, the Czech Presidency released a Declaration on fostering a Global Ecosystem of Research Infrastructures (RIs). The Member States of the EU as well as the European Commission expressed support for the call. Read our full debrief here. [5] [Picture 3(1)] ENERGY CRISIS MAY AFFECT EUROPEAN RESEARCH The main topic of the Tripartite Social Summit, held on 19 October, was \u00a0\u201cTackling the energy crisis and the cost of living crisis: How to protect the economy, businesses and workers\u201d. However, the crisis also concerns scientific infrastructures. Numerous research facilities require a high amount of energy in order to properly function \u2013 therefore their operational costs increased by a proportionally much higher margin than of regular user\u2019s.

WASTEWATER AND AIR TREATMENT PROPOSALS INTRODUCED AS PART OF \u201cZERO POLLUTION\u201d PACKAGE On 26 October Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries Virginijus Sinkevi\u010dius presented the European Commission\u2019s \u201cZero Pollution Package\u201d, which included proposals on strengthening the rules on ambient air, surface and groundwater pollutants, and treatment of urban wastewater to improve human health and ecosystems. The proposed rules, which are part of the European Green Deal\u2019s zero pollution ambition, are tighter on the allowed levels of pollutants as a response to specific demands of the Conference on the Future of Europe. Read more about it here [7]. [Picture 6(1)] EUROPEAN COMMISSION ADDRESSES FERTILISER SHORTAGE The Commission\u2019s communication, released on 9 November, lists potential means to overcome short term challenges posed by the supply line disruptions caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as deals with long term issues regarding the sustainability of fertilisers, and the resilience of the food chain. Amongst the proposed actions, practices for fertiliser use optimisation and usage reduction, as well as financial support actions targeted at vulnerable areas can be found. Learn more about it here [8]. New Zealand\u2019s aims for Horizon association, while UK and Switzerland makes with bilateral research deal Within the framework of Horizon Europe\u2019s global approach to Research and Innovation, on 18 October the government of New Zealand have begun formal negotiations with the European Commission about the country joining the Horizon Europe programme as a fully associated member. However, with other countries for which Horizon association could be beneficial \u2013 namely the United Kingdom and Switzerland \u2013 the situation remains unclear, which sends them looking for alternatives.

[whats-new-at-euchems] [Picture 7(1)] EUCHEMS SIGNS COARA AGREEMENT The European Chemical Society is a signatory of the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (COARA)\u2019s agreement since last month. The key aim of COARA is the reform of the research assessment framework, turning it into a more impact-focused, transparent and qualitative metric. The long-term goal of this the improvement of the quality and impact of research. Read the details here [10]. EUCHEMS AWARDS: CALLS FOR NOMINATIONS APPROACHING DEADLINE The call for nominations for several awards from the European Chemical Society \u2013 namely, the EuChemS Gold Medal Award, the EuChemS Lecture Award, the EuChemS Award for Service, and the EuChemS Historical Landmark Award \u2013 are open and will close on 19 December 2022 18:00 CET.
