‘Network of Science and Technology’ was a successful COST Exhibition held at the European Parliament in Brussels from 18 to 20 October 2011. The event was kindly hosted by Pilar del Castillo Vera MEP. It brought together the COST science community, EU policy-makers and stakeholders in the field of research, technology and innovation.
This highlights video covers the opening ceremony of the COST exhibition as well as a breakfast meeting with MEPs on 18 October 2011.
COST Science Night 2013 provided European policymakers and representatives of the EU institutions, the scientific community and the press the opportunity to meet researchers leading selected COST science and technology research networks called Actions. The Actions showcased their cutting-edge work in a number of scientific fields and explained how such pan-European science and technology networks supported by COST contribute to addressing key global scientific and societal challenges.
Ice-cold without the Sun
What would happen is the Sun were to fade away? Two scientists (Eija Tanskanen, from the Finnish Meteorological Institute, in Helsinki, Finland, and Yoav Yair, from the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, Israel) discuss this topic. This movie was produced by COST action TOSCA (Towards a more complete assessment of the impact of solar variability on climate), a multidisciplinary European network of scientists from 20 countries whose objective is to provide a better understanding of the hotly debated role of the Sun in climate change.

Climate fingerprints and footprints
How do we identify solar signals in climate data? Two scientists (Kristoffer Rypdal from the University of Tromsø, Norway, and Yoav Yair, from the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, Israel) discuss this topic.
