The 2014 SCIENCE POLICY SYMPOSIUM to support the implementation of the 2020 Biodiversity strategy and the EU Water Framework Directive will be held between 29-30 Jan 2014 in the Museum of Natural Sciences (RBINS), Brussels. The symposium is jointly organised by the EU FP7 funded projects BioFresh and REFRESH.

Numerous EU biodiversity and water related policies have been designed to protect freshwater ecosystems and ensure their sustainable use. However, major challenges still persist in the implementation of these policies. Freshwater ecosystems support 10% of all animal species on Earth and provide a diverse array of functions and services that contribute to human well-being. In recent decades global freshwater biodiversity has declined at a greater rate compared to terrestrial and marine ecosystems.

The Science Policy Symposium for Freshwater Life is organised with the aim of bringing together policy makers and stakeholders from the water, energy and conservation sector, NGOs, the scientific community and selected experts to discuss challenges to implementing the 2020 Biodiversity strategy and the EU Water Framework Directive.

Upcoming or recent graduates, please tune in on November 13th to learn all about the Science Policy Fellowship! In thispanel discussion we’ll be joined by both the Science Policy Fellowship program director as well as current and former fellows. Lisa, Rebecca, Kush and Irina will share their own unique career journeys – plus perspectives on how the Science Policy Fellowship has shaped where they are today. Additionally, our panel will provide insights into project work, skills development, and tips on applying to the program. Learn how you can put your education to work while making a tangible impact in thescience and technology policy arena at a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC).We’ll also share background on IDA's culture and the mission behind the work we do.The Science Policy Fellowship is a two-year program from the Science and Technology Policy Institute – one of the Institute for Defense Analyses’ three FFRDCs. The fellowship provides recent bachelor’s or master’s degree recipients with aunique opportunity to use their critical thinking and analytic skills to work on a diverse set of challenges in science and technology policy areas, including energy and the environment, space sciences, innovation and competitiveness, evaluation, life sciences, information technologies, national security, and STEM education. Fellows will be involved in collaborative research for leaders in the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in the Executive Office of the President and other Federal Government organizations, such as the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.Innovative, analytical self-starters who are able to work well in teams are encouraged to apply. Previous policy experience is not required. Ideal candidates will have at leasta BS/BA degree conferred between May 2023 and July 2025. MA/MS-degree candidates and recipients are also encouraged to apply, provided their bachelor’s degrees are within the May 2022 – July 2024 timeframe. Have specific questions for our panelists?
