ALLEA - All European Academies

It's the International #DayofEducation, and UNESCO has dedicated today to the critical role that #Education and #Teachers play in countering #hatespeech in the age of #socialmedia.

Improving #digitaleducation and equipping teachers with #digitalskills will go a long way in helping them counter the rampant #misinformation online.

And ALLEA has some ideas on how we can support stakeholders to develop the field of digital education and training in Europe 👇

Integrating digital methodologies into humanities scholarship is imperative for maintaining relevance and advancing research methodologies in the swiftly evolving academic realm.

Read this ALLEA Digital Salon interview with Maciej Maryl, founding Director of the Digital Humanities Centre, to know more on the significance of incorporating digital practices into humanities scholarship, and navigating the challenges within this dynamic field. 👉https://allea.org/embracing-digital-innovation-perspectives-on-advancing-humanities-scholarship/

Last year, ALLEA published the revised version of the #European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity to reflect the evolution of technologies and culture, ensuring that the document remains fit for purpose.

ALLEA Member Academies have committed themselves to translate the English-language document to their local languages.

The Dutch, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Spanish, and Turkish translations are now available 👇

To highlight the opportunities & challenges for early- and mid-career researchers (#EMCRs) when engaging in #science-for-#policy work, SAPEA — part of the Scientific Advice Mechanism — has developed a #questionnaire to gather input from the research community.

Input is welcomed from any field of research and career stage.

The findings will feed into the final version of the SAPEA strategy to engage more EMCRs in science-for-policy activities.
