First weekend at the European Citizens Panel on #Intergenerational #Fairness as a Knowledge Committee member: answering citizen requests, and a nice view of Parc Leopold, where 19th century scientific Brussels intermingles with contemporary Euro-Brussels

Our incoming colleague @jolukito.bsky.social is welcomed by a *very* enthusiastic room, presenting her research agenda and the challenges of cross-platform data collection. Welcome Jo! We are so happy to have you with us! 😊❤️

“Dare to disrupt!”💥 - Eske Willerslev We had an absolute blast hosting Eske Willerslev yesterday at @sdu.dk for a powerful discussion on the *purpose* of research - and why curiosity, controversy, and disruption drive real progress. Lots of laughs, insights, and food for thought!

🌟A huge honor for our Centre Director Claes de Vreese, recipient of the Carlsberg Foundation's Research Prize 2025! 🤩🏆👏 Congratulations on behalf of all of us here at DDC Claes! This is so well deserved and we couldn't be prouder! 😊

Complex challenges demand bold ideas. What could unfold if we let curiosity guide research? Join us at DIAS for a keynote + panel with Eske Willerslev! 📅 10 Sept | 🕥 10:15–12:15 | 📍 DIAS Auditorium, SDU Odense 🔗 Sign up: shorturl.at/LtCMo 🎟️ Few seats left!

A gravitational pull from the upper echelons? 👑 DIAS Director Sten Rynning (@rynning.bsky.social) was spotted mere metres from the Dutch king at last week’s NATO Public Forum! From attracting top scholars to mingling with royalty, DIAS is clearly in orbit 🌍 #NATOPublicForum #StenAndTheKing

Today, we wrapped up the semester in style at our annual summer gathering - with cold drinks, traditional Danish hotdogs ‘med det hele’, and great company 🌭🥂 ☀️ Thanks to everyone who showed up at the DIAS rooftop terrace to celebrate with us!

As populations age and life expectancy rises, governments are rethinking retirement policies - but what are the implications for intergenerational equity? 🤔 A must-see for anyone concerned with the future of ageing societies and the ethical questions we can no longer afford to ignore.

Still "plenty of fish in the sea”? 🐟 Not here in Denmark. Nitrogen pollution and warming waters are driving marine life away. The Green Deal is a step forward, but are we ready to do what it takes to save our seas? 🌊 Thanks to Stiig Markager of @au.dk for an insightful talk today at DIAS.

What are the implications of politicians swapping public office for corporate roles? Interestingly, this ‘revolving door’ might have political benefits for both the public and the private sector. Thanks to @bcegerod.bsky.social of Copenhagen Business School for making us a little wiser 💡
