RI-LINKS2UA - Strengthening Research and Innovation Links towards Ukraine

This year the Conference aims to contribute in increasing the world momentum for developing and implementing converging deep decarbonization pathways in the content of the COP 21 in Paris, December 2015.

Based on the existing state of climate change policies of the BSEC countries, the Conference aims to bring together scientists, policy and decision makers and market stakeholders and facilitate the knowledge transfer on these critical issues related with the regional economic cooperation (Article 4, paragraph 18 of the Paris Agreement).

The Conference is divided into three (3) main parts:

• The first is devoted to the policy dialogue and apart from distinguished scientists, high level officials from the Permanent International Secretariat (PERMIS), the Business Council (BSEC-BC) and the Parliamentary Assembly of BSEC (PABSEC) will be invited to contribute. In addition, national representatives, members of the relevant BSEC Working Groups will be also invited to present their policies and activities related to Climate Change, as well.
• The second is devoted to peer – viewed presentations and discussions, as in all previous years.
• Finally, the third is shaped as a “Brokerage session” that will bring together scientists, policy makers and market stakeholders and facilitate them to present their activities (projects and programs), disscuss about funding opportunities, especially in the context of Horizon 2020 calls and finally to increase the cross-interaction on innovative ideas and cooperation on common importance topics.
