!!ACADEMIA EUROPAEA – HUN-REN INTERDISCIPLINARY WORKSHOP ON EARTH, ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTHY LIVING
!24-25 APRIL, 2025 | BUDAPEST, HUN-REN HQ
!Sponsored by: [HUN-REN|https://hun-ren.hu/home] and [Academia Europaea Budapest Knowledge Hub|https://mta.hu/aebudapest]
![Registration|https://survey.hun-ren.hu/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=792237&lang=en]
%%
!RATIONALE AND SCOPE
A close connection exists between Earth system dynamics, Earth environment and quality of the human habitat. The latter includes access of an increasing world population to fresh water, sustainable energy and food amid climate change and various anthropogenic pollutions. All these aspects are of paramount importance for healthy living.
\\ \\
This workshop brings together leading scientists, experts and stakeholders engaged in facing these issues with different complementary backgrounds. The aim is to intensify the dialogue between Earth and environmental sciences and life sciences, establishing novel interdisciplinary connections, creating a platform to promote frontier research and innovation to address urgent societal needs. These issues are by definition of global and pan-European nature, but also particularly relevant for the Danube basin and the Danube river system.
