Prof. Filippo de Angelis, from CNR-ISTM Perugia, Italy and Fellow of EurASc, and Prof. Mohammad Nazeeruddin, from EPFL, Switzerland, and Fellow of EurASc will organised with their Institution the 5th International Conference on Perovskite Solar Cells and Optoelectronics (PSCO-2019), in Lausanne (Switzerland) on September 30 to October 2, 2019. The programme will include a combination of invited talks, contributing talks and poster presentations in a meeting which will bring a broad spectrum of the community together to discuss and share knowledge on the latest advances in perovskite materials, devices and photophysical and optoelectronic properties and phenomena. It will host a special session dedicated to speakers working in industry and two sessions will be sponsored by two European Projects on perovskites, Espresso and PerTPV. Based on the input from previous conferences, we will extend the scientific and social programme over three full days, this will allow us to run two parallel sessions in the afternoons, and have more time for discussion. Educating young researchers is at the core of our mission, which will be enabled by the opening tutorial lectures, in addition to a whole series of invited talks by world leading scientists in their respective specialities.

In the frame of the activities promoted by EURASC, it took place on 28th June in Brussels a debate between the head of divisions of EURASC, with Prof. R. Martins aiming to establish the impact of nanotechnologies in particular, and of Science and Technology in general, in contributing for an Innovation Agenda for Europe from which all will benefit. The discussion has involved how the 3 main pillars of our progress do interact (Education; Creativity and Industry Application) and how science can contribute for this agenda of welfare and comfort for all.This event was supported in the frame of EU projects Nano2All and BET-EUOn December 3rd, a delegation of members of the European Academy of Sciences conducted by President Prof. Rodrigo Martins presented to Research & Innovation EC Commissioner, Dr. Carlos Moedas, a petition to support “Horizon Europe” program and strengthen research and innovation as the main pillars for a better Europe.

Find below a news published by the "Agence Française de la Presse" *** "Brest, 27 oct 2015 (AFP) - L′Académie européenne des sciences (Eurasc) a appelé mardi à Brest les décideurs politiques et les négociateurs de la conférence de Paris sur le climat (COP21) à se mettre d′accord sur des "objectifs ambitieux" pour atténuer le changement climatique. "L′influence de l′homme sur le système climatique est sans équivoque", estiment les 500 scientifiques réunis au sein de cette académie, dans une déclaration lue devant plus de 350 spécialistes du changement climatique et des sciences de la mer. "L′évolution actuelle du changement climatique augmente la probabilité d′impacts graves, étendus et en partie irréversibles sur les systèmes naturels, ainsi que sur les ressources essentielles exploitées par l′homme", poursuit cet appel lancé lors d′un colloque sur l′impact du changement climatique sur l′océan, l′économie, la production de nourriture et la santé humaine. L′Académie européenne des sciences attire l′attention des décideurs politiques et des négociateurs de la COP21 de Paris sur la nécessité impérieuse de se mettre d′accord sur des objectifs ambitieux en vue d′atténuer le changement climatique et de prendre les mesures appropriées pour soutenir une adaptation acceptable par tous", poursuit cette "déclaration de Brest". La 21e conférence sur le climat de l′ONU (COP21), qui va se tenir du 30 novembre au 11 décembre à Paris, doit donner naissance au premier accord engageant 195 pays dans la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, pour parvenir à contenir le réchauffement sous la barre des +2°. Sinon, les experts prédisent une multiplication des événements météorologiques extrêmes, une accélération dramatique de la fonte des glaciers ou de la montée du niveau des océans. "Il faut absolument appuyer et pousser tout ce processus de la COP21", a affirmé à l′AFP le président de l′Eurasc, Claude Debru. "L′ambition de réduire à 2° le réchauffement climatique d′ici 2050 est évidemment tout à fait fondamentale pour essayer de minimiser ses conséquences à un degré qui soit supportable par les populations et en particulier les populations les plus démunies", a-t-il jugé. Le colloque de l′Eurasc est organisé dans le cadre de la conférence Safer Seas, qui se tient jusqu′à vendredi à Brest et qui est dédiée aux problématiques de sécurité et de sûreté des navires. L′Académie européenne des sciences compte quelque 500 membres, dont 65 lauréats du prix Nobel et de la médaille Fields (équivalent du Nobel pour les mathématiques) issus de 63 pays.
