The European Academy of Sciences (EurASc) is honored to announce that the Annual Symposium & Ceremony 2025 will take place at CERN, the world’s leading center for particle physics, in Geneva, Switzerland, on December 17-18, 2025. This year’s symposium coincides with CERN’s 70th anniversary, adding an extraordinary dimension to this prestigious event.

CERN is renowned for its groundbreaking contributions to fundamental research, including the discovery of the W and Z bosons, the Higgs boson, and the invention of the World Wide Web. Beyond fundamental science, CERN’s advancements in particle accelerators and detectors have led to transformative applications in medical diagnostics, quantum computing, and materials science.

The symposium, under the theme “Frontiers of Knowledge for a Sustainable Future”, will feature cutting-edge discussions, keynote speeches by leading scientists, and the presentation of the Blaise Pascal Medals and the Leonardo da Vinci Award to outstanding contributors in science and technology. The symposium will be co-chaired by Prof. Paul Lecoq and Prof. Chiara Mariotti, distinguished Members of EurASc and leaders in the field of particle physics.

CERN Science Gateway will serve as an inspiring venue for scientific dialogue and exploration. EurASc Fellows will have the unique opportunity to stay in CERN’s internal hostel, located just 20 minutes from the Geneva city center.

CERN Director-General Prof. Fabiola Gianotti has expressed enthusiasm for hosting this landmark event and welcoming the EurASc community to the forefront of scientific discovery and innovation.

Stay tuned for further updates on the program and registration details. We look forward to celebrating this remarkable occasion with you!

One Ocean Science Congress, Nice, France, 2025

Admin EurASc EurASc Meeting & Events, Members, News, Seminars and Conferences September 5, 2024November 4, 2024

The One Ocean Science Congress (OOSC), organized by CNRS and IFREMER, will be held in Nice, France, 4 to 6 June 2025. It is a UN Special Event serving as the scientific foundation of the Third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3). This three-day congress will generate science-based outcomes and recommendations to support the global discussions at UNOC3.

We welcome contributions from the international scientific community on 10 key themes, which are aligned with the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and intended to inform the Ocean Action Panels of UNOC3. These themes are action- and solution-oriented, and designed to transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries:

The congress will include a combination of plenary sessions featuring keynote lectures, as well as oral and poster presentations. To foster greater interaction between science, society, action, and policy, and to involve civil society more broadly, ‘town hall’ meetings will also be organized.

Science in the Social Arena: How to Secure Public Credibility?

Admin EurASc EurASc Meeting & Events, Homepage, News, Seminars and Conferences October 10, 2023October 10, 2023

Join us this October 25-27 for the “Science in the Social Arena: How to Secure Public Credibility?” conference at ZiF, organized by Prof. Martin Carrier, Head of Social Sciences and Humanities EurASc Division.

The conference aims to address the relationship between science and society, specifically the lack of credibility of science in parts of the public. We’re bringing together professionals and working scientists to reflect on the issue and debate possible reasons for the declining reputation of more practice-driven branches of science.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation and help bridge the gap between science and society.

Public Credibility of Science

The conference is supposed to address the relationship between science and society. The intention is to bring together professional reflection on science and the expertise of working scientists. The more specific issue is the lack of credibility of science in parts of the public. We intend to debate possible reasons or causes of the declining reputation of more practice-driven branches of science. One of the traditional suspects is the commercialization and politicization of science: society shapes science such that its original culture of research is compromised. An opposite argument focuses on the growing interference of science in social matters. A contentious field is scientific policy advice, where critics claim that scientists have taken the lead and pushed elected representatives of the people to the margins. Third, trustworthiness needs to be earned by sound justification procedures. We seek to discuss conditions of justification as they arise in practice-driven fields. Methodological and institutional questions are supposed to take center stage. The fourth topical block is science communication. We want to focus on methodological virtues of science and explore ways to convey the spirit of scientific methods to critics.

ABOUT MADRID

Madrid is the capital of Spain, and is home to the Spanish Royal family as well as the Spanish Government. It is a modern metropolitan city and an economical and industrial center of Spain, and, with its population of nearly 3,5 million people, is also the biggest city in Spain.

It is located in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula, and is surrounded by mountains and natural parks. Although it is located in the centre of the country, it has traditionally been the hub between different areas of Spain and is therefore connected to all major Spanish cities by train, road or air.

The weather in Madrid varies a lot depending on the season, from hot and dry in the summer, with temperature of approx. 29C-¦ / 85F-¦, to cold (4C-¦ / 39F-¦) and with some rain in the winter.

Attractions

Madrid has a lot of interesting attractions that offer both culture and amusement.
The city is full of great monuments, like the royal palace, the Plaza Mayor or the many statuettes, and for people interested in art, the museums Del Prado, Reina Sofia or Thyssen have some of the most fantastic collections of famous Spanish painters like Velazquez, Goya, Picasso or Miro.

If you like to be entertained, Madrid has two big amusements parks (including the new Warner Bros park) and there are regular international concerts, big flea markets, parades and other activities going on.

To sport enthusiasts Madrid can offer everything from skiing (only 1 hour away by bus) during the winter, to golf all year round, as well as international sporting events and the possibility to practice nearly any sport at the University facilities.

If you like going out at night, Madrid has a very interesting nightlife throughout the whole week and which is available all year round. You can either go out for a tapa (Spanish snack), eat at a very nice restaurant, go to the cinema or one of the many theatres, or find nearly any type of bar or disco.
