Sunspots and climate
Is there a connection between the number of sunspots, and the Earth’s climate? Two scientists (Laure Lefèvre, from the Royal Observatory of Belgium, and Jean Lilensten from CNRS in Grenoble, France) 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.

COST Science Night – How S&T Networks Impact Tomorrow’s Europe was held on 4 December 2012.
This exclusive event showcased the impact of science and technology networks on Europe’s society.
At this unique science night researchers leading successful COST networks met research policy-makers and stakeholders for interactive discussions… and fun experiments!
