There are many ways to become a meaningful part of the Eklipse community.
Eklipse Calls for Knowledge are addressed to scientists, decision-makers, practitioners, and societal actors with request-relevant knowledge to share. Calls for Knowledge are an opportunity to highlight the relevance of any type of knowledge (scientific, grey literature, initiatives etc), impact decision making, draw attention to your topical work, and take part in a network of European specialists who are passionate about promoting well-informed policy decisions based on best available science. Each call is aimed at identifying the range of available approaches to answer the request; identifying lessons learned from case studies where particular approaches have been applied; and analyzing what has and hasn’t worked. Accessing and integrating local and traditional knowledge resources, including non-English expertise, is emphasized.
Through our Calls for Experts, Eklipse invites individuals from diverse sectors to join Expert Working Groups (EWG), which assess and synthesize knowledge for each selected request. In addition to balanced gender and pan-European research representation, past EWGs have featured a broad spectrum of professions (including scientists, architects, farmers, engineers). Fields of expertise have included everything from business and mental health to biodiversity restoration and the Common Agricultural Policy.
Relevant experts are encouraged to comment on request reports before their finalization through our Calls for Review. The reviewers will be acknowledged in the final version of the report.
