SUPPORTER PROJECT drives sustainable, gender-related changes in sports higher education, by creating Inclusive, Innovative, Intersectional, and Impactful Gender Equality Plans (4I-GEPs). 8 higher education institutions co-designed roadmaps to transform their institution's gender equality plans into #4IGEP. While the Grounding Actions in these roadmaps are tailored to fit each institution's unique context, they share key thematic areas that can inspire any institution aiming to enhance or develop its own #GEP.

The team at ESF is thrilled to announce the publication of the eRImote Green Paper: "Facilitating remote and virtual access provision by European research infrastructures – requirements, issues, and recommendations." Research Infrastructures (RIs) are essential for advancing scientific discovery, and remote access has never been more important—especially after COVID-19 reshaped how we collaborate globally. 🌍 This paper outlines: ✅ Key benefits of remote & virtual access for researchers ✅ Challenges faced in scaling up this access ✅ Practical recommendations to improve how we leverage these infrastructures The eRImote project engaged experts from across Europe to identify the needs and best practices, aiming to enhance access while ensuring funding and collaboration remain strong pillars of support. 💡 We’re seeking feedback from all stakeholders to help shape the future of remote access to RIs. 📢 🔗 Check out the paper and share your thoughts: https://lnkd.in/eNidK62N #ResearchInfrastructures #RemoteAccess #eRImote #OpenScience #Collaboration #Innovation

🌟 Congratulations to Ravit Helled, ESSC panel member for Astronomy and Fundamental Physics, on being awarded the 2024 Farinella Prize! 🌟 Presented at the Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) 2024, this prestigious prize recognises Prof Helled’s groundbreaking research into the internal structures of giant planets, advancing our understanding of planetary formation both in our Solar System and beyond. Her pioneering work on ‘fuzzy’ cores, now confirmed by data from the Juno and Cassini missions, has reshaped our understanding of gas giant formation. Prof Helled said: “I am honoured to receive the 2024 Farinella Prize. I value very much doing research and I enjoy every moment of it. I am grateful for being able to explore planets in the solar system and beyond, and for working with so many outstanding people.” 👏 We at the ESSC are incredibly proud of Prof Helled’s achievements and her contributions to the planetary science community! 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e7k-9vce Europlanet Society European Space Agency - ESA NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration University of Zurich #PlanetaryScience #FarinellaPrize #ESSC #EPSC2024 #Astronomy
