The New Global Order’s Post

What is the University of Cambridge Centre for Geopolitics? It's about combining historical analysis, political science, area studies and the experience of practitioners to confront major problems of conflict and world order, past, present and future. We see it as valuable work with practical, real-world impact. How we do that, who we are, and who we work with is explained here in our latest Annual Report, just published.

I am glad to have been assigned to the Working Group 4 ("WG4: Outreach: cross-fertilization between research and policy") of COST Association - European Cooperation in Science and Technology - CA22121 - Rising nationalisms, shifting geopolitics and the future of European higher education/research openness (OPEN). I am looking forward to exploring how the rise of new nationalisms and geopolitical tensions exert a growing pressure on the openness of European higher education and research and examine its implications for the future of Europe. #europeanunion #neonationalism #geopolitics #highereducation #research #cost https://lnkd.in/et6a67n3

For folks attending CSPC this year, this promises to be a really interesting conversation on the importance of advocating for science and what opportunities it can offer us in an increasingly turbulent world. Looking forward to insights from a brilliant panel! #CSPC2023

I strongly believe in my students at Colorado Mountain College. I feel a mutual synergy of admiration, commitment, and inspiration between me and my students. I am thankful to this institution and to Dr. Norma Guzman Duran, Ed.D.. for giving me the opportunity and trust in me to support its mission in the mountain towns of Colorado and to transfer knowledge beyond.   I feel proud, fulfilled, and extremely inspired because the final project of 3 of my students in my Environmental Economics class and Principles of Microeconomics class got published at the proceedings of the FMOS 2023 Conference.   The FMOS conference stands for: “At the crossroad of Finance, Marketing, and Operations for Sustainable Business”. This conference was hosted by the American Institute of Applied Sciences in Switzerland.   While I was part of the scientific committee of this conference, I wasn’t part of the selection process of my students in this conference/proceeding publication. I just served as a bridge between my students and this conference.   I want to share with my LI network 10 takeaways that I learned in the process of supporting my students to succeed in this valuable opportunity:   1.      Take your breaks as you need: Take it easy, it’s ok to feel down once in a while. 2.      Be the professor you wish you had in every class. 3.      Listen to you: Your ideas, your mind, and to your health. 4.      Keep growing, inspiring, and transferring knowledge. 5.      Sometimes it will be your turn to be at the podium, other times you will be encouraging new researchers. 6.      Enjoy teaching, the rest will come by itself. 7.      Give the extra mile even when you are not required to. 8.      Be thankful for your employer and the institutions that brought you here: family, school, scholarship system, and hard work. 9.      Sometimes you will be the only one cheering you up in hard moments. 10.  Follow your dreams and inspire, help, and encourage others to follow theirs.   Unfortunately, I couldn’t submit an abstract myself this time due to personal reasons and time constraints due to research activities on top of teaching 5 different classes, and preparing the curriculum for a Data Analytics certificate; however, I served as the chair of the Environmental Protection Session of the FMOS, thanks for the opportunity to participate in this important event. #business #work #opportunity #dataanalytics #FMOS2023 #environmentaleconoics #microeconomics  

Sounds like an important and very timely panel discussion, U15-Group of Canadian Research Universities/U15-Regroupement des universités de recherche du Canada! #WinningGlobally #GrowingSustainably #LivingBetter #BetterFutureForCanada

Today I'm at the Open Science Symposium by Vetenskap & Allmänhet, VA at Naturhistoriska riksmuseet. Interesting discussions on how scientists and policy makers can approach each other for evidence based policy! Scientists are expected to be experts on research, teaching, communications ...! Maybe some can be all of this and maybe some are better suited to focus on research and could benefit from support from communications professionals. Scientists and Policy makers don't always understand each other, they speak different "languages". So how do we solve this problem? How about the main governmental funding bodies fund a few professional "knowledge brokers" who can facilitate interactions between scientists and policy makers. People with a background in science and a decent understanding of the policy making process and a large network so that they can connect people. Perhaps they could be part of the university research support office. #EU2023 #openscience #sciencepolicy #sciencecommunication

Our researchers, Dóra Bálint, Gergely Tagai and Viktor Varjú are co-authors of a study recently published in the Open Research Europe online journal. The paper 'Addressing disparities in European Social Sciences & Humanities research on climate, energy and mobility: insights from a Call for Evidence survey and analysis workshops on the challenges and opportunities of working in Southern and Central & Eastern Europe' summarises the results of international comparative research conducted in the framework of the SSH Centre Horizon Europe project. The full article is available on the site of Open Research Europe, the open-access online journal of the EU. #horizoneurope #sshcentre #stem #openaccess

🔬🌍 From November 6th to November 12th, we celebrate the International Week of Science and Peace, highlighting the essential function that science and technology play in creating a world that is safer and more sustainable. 🕊️🧪 As reported by UNESCO, every dollar invested in scientific research and research and development (R&D) yields a $20 return on economic growth. Global spending on R&D has reached an all-time high, approaching the incredible sum of $1.7 trillion. Notably, only ten countries contribute almost 80% of this enormous investment. 🤝🌐 Is your country investing in scientific research? #ScienceAndPeace #InnovationForGood #InternationalWeekOfScienceAndPeace 

World Science Day for Peace and Development is celebrated annually on November 10th. This day highlights the important role of science in society and promotes the use of scientific knowledge for peace and sustainable development. Here are some key points about World Science Day for Peace and Development: Purpose: The day was established by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 2001 to emphasize the significance of science in promoting global peace and development. Theme: Each year, World Science Day for Peace and Development focuses on a specific theme related to the role of science in addressing global challenges. Themes in the past have included topics like "Open Science," "Science for Global Understanding," and "Science for Water." Promoting Science Education: The day aims to encourage the public and policymakers to recognize the importance of science education at all levels. Access to quality education in science and technology is seen as crucial for sustainable development. International Collaboration: It underscores the importance of international cooperation in the field of science. Collaborative efforts among scientists, researchers, and institutions from different countries are vital for addressing global challenges. Scientific Solutions for Peace: The day highlights how scientific advancements can contribute to conflict resolution and peace-building. Science is seen as a tool for finding solutions to social, economic, and environmental challenges that can contribute to peaceful and sustainable development. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): World Science Day aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing the role of science in achieving these goals, which include ending poverty, ensuring access to clean water, promoting good health and well-being, and addressing climate change. #iasnext #worldscienceday #worldsciencedayforpeaceanddevelopment #scienceday #10november #peace #development #scientificissues #specialdays❤️
