Europe’s new rocket Ariane 6 will take off from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, near the equator, and far from populated areas. Why did Europe choose a spaceport on the other side of the world? The main reason is the lack of space. There are hardly any places in Europe where rockets can be launched and fly over unpopulated areas during its initial launch phase. We also need a large area to build the launch pad and operations. Europe’s Spaceport is also very close to the equator. As our Earth spins itself, you can get an extra boost if you launch where Earth is widest… at the equator. 📹 ESA - European Space Agency 📸 ESA - European Space Agency #ESA #Ariane6 #Rocket

Speaking at a PIIE event on presidential candidate Donald Trump’s proposals to deport unauthorized workers in the United States, Michael A. Clemens argued that such mass deportations would eliminate jobs, drain public coffers, feed black markets, and invite chaos and illegality. A more sensible solution to curbing illegal entries would be to expand opportunities for lawful entry into the United States.

Speaking at a PIIE event on immigration issues, Jonathan Portes drew lessons for US immigration policies from the UK experience with Brexit. EU migration to the United Kingdom has fallen sharply since 2016, and the decline accelerated during the pandemic, Portes noted, whereas non-EU migration for work and study has increased. Recent UK employment and GDP growth has been primarily driven by immigration. Tighter migration restrictions make it harder to fund and staff public services, he asserted.

Speaking at a PIIE event on presidential candidate Donald Trump’s immigration proposals, Warwick J. McKibben said massive deportation of unauthorized workers would sharply reduce labor supply in mining, agriculture, services, and manufacturing of durable and nondurable goods. Employing a sophisticated “G-Cubed Model” to project the economic impact of two scenarios, McKibben concluded that such deportations would reduce real GDP by 12 percent if 7.5 million workers were deported and by 2.1 percent if 1.3 million were deported. Both scenarios would ignite serious inflation. Watch the full event here: https://www.piie.com/events/2024/migration-restrictions-and-damages-us-economy

After the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022, the West was quick to impose sanctions on Russia. These sanctions—in the political, cultural, trade, and economic arenas—were aimed at making a clear political statement that the invasion was unacceptable and in violation of international law but also at eroding Russia´s economic ability to pursue the war. More than two years after, the war is still going on, and Russia´s economy seems not to be very affected by the sanctions. Do sanctions not work? How can we explain the resilience of the Russian economy? What can be done and how can we continue to help Ukraine?

On 20 June 2024 the first Ariane 6 rocket to launch into space went through its last full ‘wet dress rehearsal’ at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana – it provided an exciting sneak peek of what’s to come, stopping just a few seconds before engine ignition and of course, liftoff. One of the first steps was to roll back the colossal 90-m tall Ariane 6 mobile gantry building 120 m away from the launch pad – the first moment the complete rocket stood free. The first parts of Ariane 6 began arriving in French Guiana from continental Europe in February 2024 via the Canopée ‘spaceship’. In March, the main stage and upper stage were assembled, followed by the transfer of the two powerful P120C boosters in April. In May, Ariane 6’s first passengers also arrived in Kourou – a varied selection of experiments, satellites, payload deployers and reentry demonstrations that represent thousands across Europe, from students to industry and experienced space actors NASA and ArianeGroup. The payloads were integrated onto the ‘ballast’ at the end of May, and just a few days ago the ballast was fitted onto the top of the rocket and the fairing closed around it – the last time Ariane 6’s cargo would see light. From Earth observation to technology demonstrations testing wildlife tracking, 3D printing in open space, open-source software and hardware and science missions looking for the most energetic explosions in the universe, the passengers on Ariane 6’s first flight are a testament to the rocket’s adaptability, complexity, and its role for the future – launching any mission, anywhere.

In the recent European election campaign, the Green Deal came under considerable scrutiny from farmers and farming organisations, highlighting the tension that sometimes exists between agriculture and the environment. We hear from Wolfgang Burtscher, Director-General of the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development, and Clara Bourgin, Friends of the Earth, an environmental advocacy group.

Lors de la récente campagne électorale européenne, l’initiative phare des 27 a fait l'objet de nombreuses critiques dans les rangs des agriculteurs et des organisations agricoles, mettant en évidence les tensions qui existent parfois entre agriculture et environnement. Nourrir l’Europe se penche sur la question, en compagnie de Wolfgang Burtscher, Directeur Dénéral de la Direction Générale de l'Agriculture et du Développement Rural, et de Clara Bourgin, militante au sein de l’association de défense de l’environnement « les Amis de la Terre ».

The industrial transition to electrification in Europe has become a top priority and is set to dominate the next EU policy debate (2024–2029) following elections in June. Achieving a climate-neutral industry will require the efficient decarbonisation of industrial heat. Process heating is the largest energy use in the industrial sector, responsible for 47% of industrial energy demand and roughly three-quarters of industrial CO2 emissions. If left unaddressed, existing barriers could affect the exploitation of future potentials, and the diffusion of direct electrification technologies will remain low. Watch this webinar and learn about the potential of direct electrification to replace 90% of fossil fuels in supplying process heat to European industry.

Corruption hinders economic growth and access to education and health care, disproportionately affecting youth. Through this forum, Gent gained valuable insights into innovative strategies for combating organized crime and corruption.

Youth crime stems from complex issues like economic vulnerabilities and peer pressure. Youth perspectives are vital for prevention. This forum allowed me to share and learn from my peers, helping us work together to tackle these challenges and build safer communities.

40% of the top songs in South-Eastern Europe glorify crime and drugs, tempting youth with false promises of luxury. With skills from this workshop, Alketa is now motivated to promote critical thinking and positive role models among her peers on social media.

Youth crime and violence are on the rise in South-Eastern Europe due to socio-economic risks and the allure of quick money. This forum helped Mina better understand these risks and how she can help create prevention strategies that tackle the root causes of youth recruitment into crime.

When we speak about factors that help raise youth out of criminal recruitment, Jovan learned how financial literacy and economic empowerment are crucial for young people to have alternatives, and what countries can do to help them achieve it.

Faecal egg counting (FEC) in both cattle and sheep is important because high worm burdens can lead to reduced efficiency and poor performance, or death of stock. Worms can affect the guts, liver or lungs, and therefore the clinical signs seen will vary. Funding towards faecal egg counting is currently available under preparing for sustainable farming – Animal Health and Welfare Interventions. Preparing for Sustainable Farming (PSF) (ruralpayments.org) Watch the full video about why FEC counting in cattle is important here: Faecal egg counts for cattle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLjdKPv_iEo and FEC in sheep here: Faecal egg counts for sheep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4gnrSqkXxk PSF Animal Health & Welfare - Cattle https://youtu.be/Bc5jc1gvskU PSF Animal Health & Welfare - Sheep https://youtu.be/yLYvgRNK8a8 Scotland’s Farm Advisory Service (FAS) is funded by the Scottish Government, providing information and resources aimed at increasing the profitability and sustainability of farms and crofts.

In his presentation, Gerald Knaus argues that migration fears drive populist leaders like Viktor Orban and Donald Trump to undermine post-war liberal democracies. Using examples from Austria, France, Italy, and Germany, Dr Knaus will demonstrate how these fears have enabled the far-right to achieve their strongest results in recent European elections. He offers suggestions on how to improve migration management in Europe by moving towards a more humane legal system which balances border control and human rights by introducing fast and fair asylum procedures, strategic deportations, and legal mobility for migrants. He also discusses partnership agreements and other options to deter illegal migration. About the Speaker: Gerald Knaus is an Austrian migration expert and a well-known advisor on migration policy. He is the founding chairman of the European Stability Initiative (ESI) think tank and a founding member of the European Council on Foreign Relations. An accomplished author, in 2020, he published the award-winning SPIEGEL bestseller “What Borders Do We Need?” and prior to that he wrote a book in 2011 with the British writer and then politician Rory Stewart entitled: “Can Intervention Work?

In today’s digital age, public sector institutions face increasing demands for efficient and effective service delivery. From managing administrative tasks to ensuring regulatory compliance, the challenges are multifaceted. The integration of AI virtual assistants powered by Large Language Model (LLM) applications presents a promising solution to streamline these processes. These assistants can interact seamlessly with dispersed data, provide guidance on complex procedures, and enable automated workflows, enhancing the quality of public services. A pivotal element in enhancing LLM-powered virtual assistants is Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). RAG optimizes the capabilities of LLMs by enabling efficient querying of vast volumes of administrative documents and delivering contextually relevant responses. However, despite its potential, RAG in public administration remains a nascent field with challenges such as document complexity, data privacy concerns, and cost implications. This webinar aims to shed light on the role of RAG in transforming public administration, exploring its potential use cases, and discussing the challenges and opportunities for its adoption. Join us to discover how open-source RAG tools can revolutionize public administration and support the delivery of high-quality public services.
