1 Directorate-General for European Parliamentary Research Services Directorate C - Impact Assessment and European Added Value Scientific Foresight Unit (STOA) Invitation to take part in the MEP-Scientist Pairing Scheme GENERAL INFORMATION, AIM AND OBJECTIVES 1.1 Based on the significant number of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and scientists participating in the previous editions of the MEP-Scientist Pairing Scheme (see and the very positive feedback received therefrom, the European Parliament (EP) is issuing a targeted invitation for the expression of interest on the part of scientists to take part in the MEP-Pairing Scheme The STOA Panel, which has the political oversight of the scheme, decided, in its meeting of 18 May 2017, to launch this (6th) edition of the MEP-Scientist Pairing Scheme by (a) extending the validity of the list of remaining 59 selected scientists from earlier rounds until 31 December 2019; and (b) broadening the existing pool by launching a targeted call for the expression of interest, with unchanged selection criteria, among the following circles: o JRC; o Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellows; o EU - ANSA members; o ERC grant recipients. 1.3 Background of the project. Scientific expertise has an important role to play when informing policymakers dealing with global challenges, from climate change to feeding the world, from an ageing population to energy security. To ensure a qualified policy-making, scientific advice should be more effectively integrated into the decision-making process. It has been recognised that an MEP-Scientist Pairing Scheme can be a valuable tool for enhancing knowledge-based decisions, facilitating a better public awareness of EU policies and fostering a greater mutual understanding. 1.4 Value added of the project. Apart from an improved mutual visibility, the advantages for participants in this project are: (1) For MEPs: By introducing them to a network of scientists / researchers, their awareness of scientific processes and discovery is enhanced, along with a better understanding of the scientists' point of view on policy issues. The pairing scheme facilitates the process of bringing scientific advice into EU policy discussions. (2) For scientists: They learn how to effectively interact with politicians and how to proactively inform them in fields of mutual interest. Additionally, they could contribute to the dissemination of information to universities and other scientific institutions on the structure and implementation of relevant European policies and programmes, e.g. Horizon Applicants are invited to apply to be paired with an MEP for the year 2017 some activities may extend into The list of selected scientists / researchers shall be valid until 31 December 2019 and may be used during this period whenever the European Parliament deems it appropriate This invitation is exclusively addressed to scientists / researchers with academic or scientific experience as specified in Section 5.1. Furthermore, it is exclusively addressed to natural persons (and not to legal persons, such as companies), being part at the time of application of one of the circles listed in point 1.2 (JRC; Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellows; EU - ANSA members; ERC grant recipients). 2.

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS Submission of an application implies acceptance of the terms and conditions laid down in this invitation. 4. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANNING AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES 4.1. A maximum of 60 scientists will be pre-selected by their home institutions for this call. They have to be active in specific fields of research (e.g. space technologies, nanotechnology, biotechnology, new forms of energy and energy storage, digital innovation, medicines, artificial intelligence and neuroscience non-exhaustive list). The selection of each of the following four groups of scientists will be carried out by and under the responsibility of their respective home institutions: o max. 15 scientists from the JRC; o max. 15 Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellows; o max. 15 scientists from EU-ANSA members; o max. 15 ERC grant recipients The list of scientists pre-selected by STOA will be published on the EP (STOA) website. The STOA Secretariat will invite all MEPs to participate in the scheme by indicating their preferences among the pre-selected scientists. 4.3 Constitution of the MEP-Scientist pairs The STOA Secretariat will process MEP preferences and publish on the STOA website the final MEP- Scientist pairing arrangements. Once all pairing arrangements are successfully finalised, invitations will be sent to the selected scientists, who will have two weeks to formally respond. 4.4 The Brussels Week Selected scientists will be invited to Brussels, from 28 to 30 November 2017, where they will be given an opportunity to follow MEPs in their daily political activities and gain an understanding of the EU science, technology and research policy framework and, in particular, of EP work in this area. The visit will last two days, as follows: The programme will begin with the 3rd edition of the Science meets Parliaments event on 28 November 2017 in the EP, jointly organised with the JRC (see here about the previous editions: 2
3 Then the scientists will receive a short introduction to the work of the European Parliament, by the MEP and his/her office and EP officials (STOA, other DG EPRS, committee secretariats etc.). Further to these activities, they will be invited to attend, together with their MEPs, either a relevant committee meeting or any other meeting organised by STOA in cooperation with the MEP's office (for example, with scientific officers from permanent representation offices, European research associations or representatives of regions). When not attending meetings organised by STOA, the scientists will be invited to ʽshadowʼ their MEP, on the basis of the MEP's availability. The visit will be concluded with a last meeting attended by scientists, MEPs or their assistants, and STOA officials, to assess the event, and identify its positive aspects, as well as elements for improvement. All the scientist visits will take place during the same week for logistical reasons and optimal media coverage. The full programme, along with all relevant logistical details, will be sent to scientists in due course. 4.5 Follow-up event In close cooperation with their scientist counterpart, participating MEPs are encouraged to organise a follow-up event of European dimension. Possible events include a workshop, a visit to a local research & development facility, an exhibition, a press conference, etc. in the home country of the participating MEP and/or scientist, provided they can find appropriate funding. Additionally or alternatively, MEPs may organise a follow-up event at the European Parliament, in Brussels or Strasbourg, in cooperation with their scientist counterpart and the STOA Secretariat. If the event in this latter case is adopted by the STOA Panel as a STOA event, invited speakers may be reimbursed according to the standard rules for the reimbursement of experts (see Section 4.7). 4.6 Publications - media coverage Building on the outcomes of the pairing scheme and of the follow-up event experience, the publication of a press article signed by the MEP and his/her scientist counterpart is encouraged Travel reimbursement for journeys to Brussels - on presentation of travel documents Scientists/researchers participating in the scheme will be requested to come to Brussels to participate in the Brussels Week (see Section 4.4) and, possibly, in a follow-up event in Brussels or Strasbourg (see Section 4.5). In this case, they are entitled to the reimbursement of their travel and accommodation expenses. Reimbursement conditions are as follows: up to a maximum of economy class air fare, incl. all reservation costs; first class rail fare, incl. all reservation costs; first class ticket for journeys necessitating travel by sea or river, incl. all reservation costs; first class rail fare applies where the expert uses his or her car; a flat rate allowance of EUR 60 to cover travel costs between the usual residence/office address and the nearest airport/railway station. Travel expenses will be reimbursed on the basis of the shortest route between the usual residence/office address and the European Parliament (for both legs of the journey). Reimbursement will solely be made upon presentation of original air or train tickets, in paper or electronic format, including the boarding passes, if applicable. A declaration of honour must be submitted if travelling by private car. Daily allowance Each person requested to come to Brussels or Strasbourg shall be entitled to: EUR 125 for each day of active participation in a meeting to cover meals, local transport at the venue and other expenses. 3
