NESSC Days 2021
Welcome to NESSC Day 2021!
November 4th – 5th
Hotel Zuiderduin, Egmond aan Zee
Registrations are closed – please email info@nessc.nl for further information
This will be our first face-to-face event in nearly 2 years – we have quite a programme in store! Below you can find the schedule, but first, we have some housekeeping:
Event checklist:
✔Proof of COVID vaccination/recent negative COVID test within past 72 hours
✔Photo ID with name
✔If you are a PhD student or PD who will not have an oral presentation, please bring your (A0) poster
✔Submit your question/s for the Panel discussion https://forms.gle/7jyBxUCF7xtg7XPL8
✔If you can no longer attend, email info@nessc.nl
Don’t forget to submit your questions, as on the second NESSC Day (Friday November 5th) there will be a panel discussion on “climate science and policy”. This discussion will be hosted by Bjinse Dankert and will explore the relationship between climate science and its conversion into climate policy.
Panellists were carefully selected to provide a different angle on the mechanisms that influence policy and practice. Dr Christel van Eck is a climate science communication expert; Dhr. Hugo van Bergen is the Parliament & Science liaison from the KNAW; Prof. Dr Roderik van de Wal is a climate scientist; and Andre Juling MSc is a climate scientist that is well-versed in climate activism.
The panel discussion will be made up of three questions that will be selected on November 4th. These will be derived from the entire NESSC Community and will shape the overall discussion.
