ENGAGEgreen

The Erasmus+ project "Enhancing Institutional Capacities for Policy Engagement for Green and Digital Transitions" is funded by the European Commission and is being carried out by the Rhine-Main Universities together with five European partners.

The project, which will run from October 2023 to March 2026, will pilot and implement various dialogue and meeting formats, create good practice examples, a policy engagement toolkit and training materials for conducting face-to-face and virtual workshops. The activities are aimed at researchers at all career levels (R1-R4), students and representatives from politics, administration and practice.

About the Project

Policy Engagement Toolkit (work in progress)

Registration/Application for Transnational ENGAGEgreen Virtual Science Policy Chats 2025/26

The transnational ENGAGEgreen Science-Policy Dialogue Schemes bring together — either virtually or in-person — policymaking professionals from EU institutions and international organisations with scientists from the ENGAGEgreen universities on issues of green and digital transitions.

We offer two dialogue schemes for policymaking professionals from EU institutions and international organisations:

The dialogue schemes enable policymaking professional to access scientific knowledge on the policy issues, they are dealing with, while the participating scientists learn policy perspectives on their research.

The schemes are very flexible. Policymaking professionals decide what type of questions to put forward: They can ask specific question or engage in fundamental debates on current policy issues.
