    The commentary notes how the process of producing this "simplification package" may seem to be "deeply concerning because of its poor and biased consideration of #science and #citizens" as a formal #ImpactAssessment was deemed "unnecessary, prioritizing administrative simplification and cost savings for those [...] considered the “most directly affected stakeholders.” In practice, the proposal prioritizes #industry interests over environmental and #PublicHealth safeguards" [1]

    'With global investment in AI now reaching into the trillions of pounds over recent years, it feels like it might be a good moment, both economically & socially, to step back and conduct an impact assessment (like any well-run business would at this stage)?'

  7. A brilliant new paper in #ResearchEvaluation 📄 compares how the UK, Norway, and Poland implemented research impact assessment - with very different results:

    🇬🇧 UK built infrastructure, #REF became a strategic tool.
    🇳🇴 Norway took a soft, formative approach.
    🇵🇱 Poland copy-pasted, spent big - got confusion, “point-chasing” and no culture shift.

    :doi: doi.org/10.1093/reseval/rvaf01

    🇺🇦 A lesson Ukraine risks ignoring again.

  11. Furthermore, #SLiCE has been developed to support a dynamic #ImpactAssessment, which enablesa modelling and analysis of the temporal dynamics of #Carbon uptake and emissions for #BioBased building materials.

    #SLiCE is successfully applied in projects for the European Commission on modelling the whole life cycle #WLC GHG emissions of buildings across #Europe, for upscaling and scenario analyses at #BuildingStock level for all of Europe and for individual Members States - More soon!

  20. The Habitat Foundation supports nature researchers and conservationists in Eastern Europe. The support can be simple but nevertheless important. One of the organisations supported is NGO Wildlife Montenegro.

    Wildlife Montenegro is in desperate need of a batlogger, a device that turns the high-pitched shouts of bats into sounds that humans can hear. Help Wildlife Montenegro to purchase one. Donate:
