🚀 Σας προσκαλούμε στο Brain Gain Conference! Το i-BEC, επιστημονικά υπεύθυνος του Ευρωπαϊκού Προγράμματος Carbonica EU, σας προσκαλεί στο Brain Gain Conference με θέμα: 🌱 "Γεωργία Άνθρακα και Προσαρμογή στην Κλιματική Αλλαγή: Λύσεις για ανθεκτικές περιοχές και τοπικές κοινότητες" 📅 Ημερομηνία: 3 Απριλίου 2025 ⏰ Ώρα: 09:00 π.μ. - 15:00 μ.μ. 📍 Τοποθεσία: Κέντρο Διάδοσης Ερευνητικών Αποτελεσμάτων (ΚΕ.Δ.Ε.Α.) 📡 Διαθέσιμο Live Streaming 🎯 Σκοπός της εκδήλωσης Η εκδήλωση στοχεύει να αναδείξει πώς η γεωργία άνθρακα μπορεί να αποτελέσει καταλύτη για την αξιοποίηση του επιστημονικού δυναμικού της χώρας και την επιστροφή εξειδικευμένων επαγγελματιών. Μέσα από συζητήσεις και ανταλλαγή γνώσεων, θα διερευνήσουμε πώς οι περιφέρειες και οι δήμοι μπορούν, μέσω συντονισμένων δράσεων, να υποστηρίξουν αυτή τη μετάβαση. Παράλληλα, θα παρουσιαστούν στρατηγικές που ενισχύουν το brain gain, δίνοντας κίνητρα για τον επαναπατρισμό επιστημόνων και την ενδυνάμωση των τοπικών κοινοτήτων. 🔗 Eλάτε να συμμετάσχετε από κοντά ή συντονιστείτε διαδικτυακά! https://lnkd.in/dG4_fnYf _________________________________________________________________________________ 🚀 Join us at the Brain Gain Conference! i-BEC, scientific coordinator of the EU Project #CARBONICA, invites you to the Brain Gain Conference on: 🌱 “Carbon farming and climate adaptation: Solutions for resilient regions and local communities” 📅 Date: April 3, 2025 ⏰ Time: 09:00 AM - 03:00 PM 📍 Location: Research Results Dissemination Center (KE.D.E.A.) 📡 Live Streaming available 🎯 Purpose of the event The conference aims to highlight how carbon farming can become a catalyst for leveraging the country’s scientific potential and attracting specialized professionals back home. Through discussions and knowledge exchange, we will explore how regions and municipalities can support this transition through coordinated actions. Additionally, we will discuss strategies to promote brain gain, encouraging the return of skilled scientists while strengthening the resilience of local communities. 🔗 Join us in person or online and be part of the discussion! #ΓεωργίαΆνθρακα #BrainGain #ΚλιματικήΑλλαγή #ΒιώσιμηΑνάπτυξη #CARBONICA #carbonfarming #IBEC

✨ Concluding the CARBONICA General Assembly with a Field Visit in Paphos, Cyprus! The second and final day of the CARBONICA General Assembly took us to the 📍 Experimental Station of the Agricultural Research Institute-Cyprus, in Acheleia, where theory met practice. Many #farmers had the opportunity to participate, gaining first-hand insights into innovative carbon farming techniques, their practical applications, and they also viewed a #demonstration of the CARBONICA field diagnostic tool! Their engagement and feedback are invaluable in ensuring that CARBONICA delivers impactful and actionable solutions for the agricultural sector. ✨ A heartfelt thank you to the ERATOSTHENES Centre of Excellence and the Cyprus University of Technology for their outstanding organisation and for hosting such a productive and inspiring assembly. The knowledge shared and the collaborations strengthened over these two days will propel CARBONICA forward in its mission for carbon farming. #Carbonicaexcellencehub #carbonfarming #widera #circulareconomy #climateresilience #ResearchImpactEU #EUInnovation #GeneralAssembly
