In this first episode of our docu-series, we embark on the exciting journey of the YPSat (Young Professional Satellite), a satellite flying on-board the inaugural flight of Ariane 6, Europe’s new heavy launcher. Two years ago, a team of Young Professionals at ESA, with diverse backgrounds, nationalities and expertise, have come together around one passion and with one ambition; design, manufacture and send their own satellite to space. Starting with some trivial ideas, the team matured their mission objectives and won the approval and support of ESA management to kick start the project. YPSat will be ‘the witness’ of Ariane 6: it will record the fairing separation, document the CubeSats deployment and send back beautiful in-orbit images of Earth and space. This scaled-down mission has all the ingredients of a large flagship mission; engineering, verification, testing and production assurance; project management, tight schedule, team coordination and communication; failures, crisis situations and successes. YPSat is a blueprint for the future of European space exploration. It has been a life changing opportunity for young professionals at ESA to get hands-on experience and experience the process of developing a space mission. But it has also been an eye-opening occasion for the European Space Agency to get inspired by the young generations, bringing in new ideas and technologies. This is just the beginning of the adventure for the YPSat team. The next episode will unravel the creativity, ingenuity and determination that the young professionals brought in to achieve the mission’s objectives. What powers the satellite? Who activates the cameras? How is the data transmitted back on Earth? ————————————————— Credits: Directed and produced by Chilled Winston: https://chilledwinston.com/ and Emma de Cocker Powered by ESA - European Space Agency Music from Epidemic Sound ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe and click twice on the bell button to receive our notifications.

Hydropower is the second-largest renewable energy source in the European Union, generating an impressive 375 TWh of clean electricity annually. But hydropower's strength lies in its unparalleled flexible electricity generation and storage capacity, a crucial asset to compensate for the intermittency of renewables. In this video, the @Eurelectric team visits the @ENGIEGROUP 's Coo pumped storage hydropower station, also known as the biggest battery of Belgium. During times of low demand for electricity, the water is pumped to the upper reservoirs. During peak periods, the water is poured into the lower reservoir via the machine room housing the turbines and generators that generate the electricity. In this way, the water is circulated between the reservoirs without impacting natural water bodies.

On 12 September 2023, the European Commission adopted the Business in Europe: Framework for Taxation (BEFIT) proposal which lays down a new, single set of rules to determine the tax base of groups of companies in the EU. Currently, large cross-border groups must comply with up to 27 different national tax systems in the EU, making it difficult and costly for them to do business across the Union. This complexity creates an uneven playing field and increases tax uncertainty and tax compliance costs for businesses operating in more than one Member State and discourages cross-border investments. It also puts EU businesses at a competitive disadvantage compared to businesses operating in markets of a comparable size elsewhere in the world. This webinar answers the main questions asked during the public consultations and should provide answer to some of the most frequently asked questions. 0:00 Welcome and Introduction 01:02 Opening remarks on the BEFIT proposal 09:16 How will BEFIT simply corporate taxation? 12:30 Does the EC have any initial ideas on how to better align Pillar 2 with BEFIT? 13:32 Is BEFIT a “real” One-Stop-Shop? 15:26 Why did the EC not allow for full optionality in the BEFIT system? 16:57 How will you ensure that BEFIT does not risk penalising companies with a top-up tax liability under Pillar 2? 18:34 Can you please explain the rational for post-allocation adjustments? 20:37 Can you explain the policy choice for the transitional formula? 22:20 Conclusions and closing

To counter the serious threat of sea mines, NATO keeps two Mine Countermeasures Group– one based in the Baltic Sea, the other in the Mediterranean - on standby at all times. The Turkish minehunter TCG Akçay recently conducted a counter-mine exercise, ensuring its readiness to handle all taskings. Join Ben Cooke, a former UK Royal Marines Commando on assignment for NATO with the Turkish minehunter TCG Akçay in the Sea of Marmara. Follow him as he takes a dive with the Turkish Navy to detonate a dummy mine. TCG Akçay – which previously served with Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group Two (SNMCMG2) – has a variety of means to dispose of sea mines. Its powerful sonar can detect mines that are either moored or ground in the sea floor, while a special system reduces the ship’s magnetic field, preventing it against sea mines. Once a mine has been detected, the ship can deploy a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to confirm the nature of the explosive, and mine clearance divers to render it safe, often by detonating it in place. #Shorts

In his presentation, Gerald Knaus will argue 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 will offer 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 will also discuss 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? He was an Associate Fellow at the Kennedy School in Harvard University for five years and has lectured at the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) in Vienna, at the State University of Ukraine and at the NATO College in Rome. Apart from refugee issues, his expertise covers economics, southern Europe and the Balkans, rule of law in Europe, and corruption.

On 20 June 2024 from 13:00 until 14:00 CEST, a webinar on CPSV-AP was held. The Core Public Service Vocabulary Application Profile (CPSV-AP) is a data specification used to harmonise the description of public services in a machine-readable format. It allows public administrations and service providers to describe their services in a standardised way, ensuring interoperability at European, national, and local levels. CPSV-AP offers benefits such as improved efficiency, reduced administrative burden, and enhanced service management. During this webinar SEMIC presented the results from a survey on the adoption of CPSV-AP that was held earlier this year. Additionally, several Member States presented their national implementations of CPSV-AP.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be called an extractivist technology: It mines data worldwide and the Global North enjoys most of the benefits, while countries in the Global South deal with major challenges, such as biased language models. AI is a technology that could turn our media systems upside down: Disrupting business models, propelling disinformation, and undermining trust in society. But it also can be used to grant more access to information and digital participation. What exactly are the risks and dependencies in the media sector and how can people in the Global South benefit from AI's possibilities? Panelists: - Asmelash Teka Hadgu, co-founder and CTO of Lesan and a fellow at DAIR - Helani Galpaya, CEO of LIRNEasia, a digital policy think tank working across the emerging Asia Pacific - Michael Schloms, head of 'Human Rights, Disability Inclusion, Media' unit at Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) - Zoé Titus, media professional with nearly three decades of experience in journalism and media development You can watch all DW Global Media Forum 2024 sessions here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnRODqqz08xL2Ui9RozjXTgaHDtHWLGwF

With democracies around the world under threat, journalism is also coming under increasing pressure: Who will uphold the Fourth Estate, and in what form? As journalism needs new allies and fresh faces, how can young adults be persuaded to join the rat race of the trade?

This event marked the launch of the book Europe’s banking union at 10: unfinished yet transformative written by Nicolas Véron. The book revisits the history of the banking union’s genesis; describes and assesses its developments so far; and discusses the missing pieces and prospects for eventual completion. The banking union is the European Union’s project to integrate banking sector policy in the euro area.1 Following decades of debates and momentous decisions in 2012, it became a reality in 2014, fifteen years after the euro itself, when the European Central Bank (ECB) assumed authority as banking supervisor. Therefore, 2024 marks not only the 25-year anniversary of the euro, but also the 10-year anniversary of European banking supervision, the main initial achievement of banking union. At this event we looked into the main obstacles to completing the European banking union, particularly in the areas of crisis management and resolution and how the current gaps in the banking union framework affect the EU's growth potential and financial stability, and what steps can be taken to address these issues.

The ECFR Annual Council Meeting 2024 will take place on 4-5 July 2024 in Madrid Europe’s Choice: Is 2024 Europe’s moment of reinvention? The results of the European elections, and the subsequent French parliamentary election, are sending shockwaves across the continent. It comes on top of a series of geopolitical turbulences which have upended conventional wisdom across capitals on defence/security, trade, green tech, and enlargement. In this context, how can Europe retool to become a hard power in a world of deterrence and derisking? How can we best defend Ukraine, and stabilize the Middle East? How can we strategically manage interdependence, reduce risks, and forge new relationships with middle powers like those in Asia, Africa, and Latin America? Can we make 2024 the year of Europe’s reinvention? Will Europe’s fate be decided by Putin, Xi Jinping, or Trump, or can Europeans take their destiny into their own hands in 2024? Coming together the week where France and the UK go to the polls, and between the EU’s top jobs being decided and NATO’s Washington summit, this year’s ECFR Annual Council Meeting will seek to set Europe’s new strategic course in 2024 and beyond.

As industries undergo transformative shifts caused by technological advancements, it is paramount to scrutinize the pivotal role that women play in shaping these changes, and vital to delve into the intersection of women, new technologies, and AI within the context of employment. Opportunities for fostering greater gender diversity and dismantling discriminatory barriers that hinder women’s full participation in the workforce must be explored. As the world navigates digital frontiers, it becomes increasingly obvious that inclusiveness can not only bridge gender gaps but also drive innovation and propel Europe towards a more equitable future of work. In the frame of CESI’s ‘eQualPRO’ project, the event shall touch upon questions such as: -What are the specific challenges faced by women at work in the public and private sectors, and how should they be addressed? -What strategies have been/ can be employed to ensure an equal distribution of benefits from the digital transformation of work, especially for female workers? -What skills or competencies do women need to develop to thrive in the evolving landscape of digital work, and how can these be fostered? -In what ways can AI systems contribute positively to gender equality at work, and what ethical guidelines should be in place to prevent gender bias? -How can companies and trade unions ensure that algorithms and decision-making processes are transparent and respect diversity? -How can trade unions actively contribute to the design and implementation of measures promoting gender equality in the digital workspace and to detecting and mitigating gender bias in AI algorithms? -What collaborative efforts can be established between government bodies, businesses, and social partners to advance gender equality in the evolving landscape of work? With the participation of: Nicolas Schmit, European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights Romain Wolff, President of CESI Klaus Heeger, Secretary General of CESI Karen Vandekerckhove, Head of Unit ‘Gender Equality’ at the European Commission Nathalie Vandystadt, Policy Officer for Communication, AI Office, DG CNECT, European Commission Max Uebe, Head of Unit ‘Future of Work, Youth Employment’ at the European Commission Marta Dell’Aquila, Researcher in the Global Governance, Regulation, Innovation and Digital Economy Unit of CEPS Milanie Kreutz, President of dbb Frauen Sara Rinaudo, Chairwoman of CESI’s Working Group on the ‘Future of Work’ Kirsten Lühmann, Chairwoman of CESI’s Commission on Women’s Rights (FEMM) Katarzyna Szkuta, EU and International Affairs Advisor at the Federal Government of Belgium Laura Kaun, Policy and Campaigns Director at the European Women’s Lobby (EWL) Sandrine Cazes, Senior Economist at the OECD Giulia Torchio, Researcher at the EPC Jowita Michalska, Digital European Union Ambassador Matthäus Fandrejewski, Representative of CESI Youth Gilda Isernia, Project and Policy Coordinator at OBESSU Selma Toktas, Erasmus University Rotterdam Carmen Jaffke, President of the Equality Law Commission of CGFP Miranda Karagöl, Member of TVML Jacob Dencik, Economic Research Leader at the IBM Institute for Business Value Jason Pridmore, SEISMEC Ariane Loze, Artist, Personaldata.io * Workshop partners: European Commission European Policy Centre (EPC) CESI Youth Personaldata.io Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) European Women’s Lobby (EWL) Organising Bureau of European School Student Unions (OBESSU) #eQualPRO #AI #GenderEquality

Critical raw materials are vital for the EU's green transition and offer African countries a path to green industrialisation. However, both face policy dilemmas: Africa must efficiently use resources within, and share them between, countries, while the EU seeks to de-risk from China and maintain industrial leadership. In this podcast, Poorva Karkare and Géraud Neema discuss how these different moving parts fit together.

In Tanzania, gender equality is a policy priority, but progress is slow. Enter the award-winning Her Initiative, a game-changer that is helping to close the gender gap. This initiative promotes financial resilience and digital inclusion for girls and young women, empowering them to escape poverty and seize more opportunities. Without such innovative efforts, progress toward achieving full gender parity in Tanzania will be significantly slower. In this episode of Minding the gap: Conversations on gender, we listen to real-life stories of girls' empowerment from Tanzania. Joining Hanne Knaepen is Lydia Charles Moyo, founder and executive director of the Her Initiative. Lydia talks about the injustice she faced among her peers in school, which led her to set up an award-winning non-profit organisation that aims to achieve financial independence among girls and women.

Cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) presents an opportunity for European companies looking to enter the Chinese market. This direct access path does not require the costly and time-consuming approval and registration procedures that are associated with traditional export channels. Goods sold via CBEC are considered personal goods and can be sold in their original packaging and label; they also enjoy preferential import taxation. Therefore, CBEC is particularly useful for retail and consumer goods, especially (but not only) in the cosmetics and F&B industries. Still, CBEC still presents a number of challenges. There are different platforms that can be used for CBEC, a wide range of marketing options, and fierce competition. Not all products can be sold via CBEC and some products need to be placed in a bonded warehouse in China. While simplifying customs processes, an e-commerce only strategy means an absence of physical retail outlets that poses inherent challenges in customer service and to manage product returns.

EPISODE SUMMARY ITIF Policy Analyst Jessica Dine interviews Chris Oatway, associate general counsel at Verizon. They discuss the cybersecurity and supply chain risk management components of the BEAD program. States’ cybersecurity plans should reflect the NIST cybersecurity framework and executive order 14028, while the supply chain risk management plan should align with NISTIR 8276 and other relevant NIST documents. The conversation emphasizes the importance of following these frameworks and guidelines to ensure cybersecurity and supply chain security. ABOUT THIS SERIES The Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) program is $42 billion effort to close the digital divide by ensuring that all Americans have access to broadband. With so much at stake, it’s essential that state and federal policymakers, ISPs, and civil society groups understand the details of the program.

Two years have passed since the introduction of the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) as a part of Bill C-27, and its journey through Parliament shows no signs of concluding soon. Some view AIDA as a potential existential risk to AI innovation in Canada, while others see AI itself as a significant threat to Canadian society. As we stand at this crossroads, the critical question arises: Should parliamentarians persist on the current trajectory, or are there more effective ways for the government to foster the responsible adoption of AI technologies among Canadians and Canadian businesses?Join ITIF’s Centre for Canadian Innovation and Competitiveness for an engaging discussion with leading international experts and peers. This virtual panel will explore the current state of Canadian AI regulation, where to go from here, and what alternative approaches policymakers should consider.Questions for the speakers?

The summer solstice, which is when the Sun reaches the most northerly point in the sky, occurred on Friday 21st June at 22:50 CEST. This is when the Northern Hemisphere will experience the longest day of the year and the Southern Hemisphere will experience the shortest. This is because of Earth’s position in orbit around the Sun and the way the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during the solstice. This animation shows one image per day captured by the Meteosat Second Generation from 20 June 2023 until 19 June 2024 captured at approximately 17:30 CEST. You can see how the terminator line moved in the past year - tonight, that line will be at its greatest angle with respect to the axis of the Earth. Do you live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere? 🎥 ESA - European Space Agency 🎞️ ESA/Eumetsat #ESA #SummerSolstice #EarthObservation

In the country of Georgia, around 80% of rural households consume wood for energy purposes. Basic wood stoves are their main heating system and with a significant portion of Georgians living rurally, the wood for these is often collected unsustainably. In February, an IEA delegation traveled to rural Georgia to see first-hand what this means for citizens and explore the possible solutions. You can view the roadmap mentioned in this story here: https://www.iea.org/reports/sustainable-bioenergy-for-georgia-a-roadmap

This is the second webinar in a series dedicated to the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE), launched in January 2023 as a next step in the evolution of Earth Observation data services. The CDSE replaces the Copernicus Open Access Hub which ceased operations in November 2023 and the DIASes. OpenEO is an application programming interface (API) that enables easy access and processing of Earth Observation data within the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE). By using the openEO instance of the CDSE, users are automatically closer to creating FAIR -compliant open solutions as openEO incorporates those principles in its implementation. During the webinar, Jeroen Dries, CDSE Software Engineer will provide a live demonstration to show how using openEO can unlock the full potential of Earth Observation data with minimal code and maximum efficiency. Pratichhya Sharma, CDSE Remote Sensing Data Engineer will explain how using openEO can unlock the full potential of Earth Observation data with minimal code and maximum efficiency.
