Recent @FAO #SWAFS report showed that empowering women farmers could increase incomes for 58 million people and strengthen the resilience of 235 million more. On this years #RuralWomen's Day, read why when #ruralwomen thrive, food systems thrive. 👉 on.cgiar.org/4nIPj3z

Peraton’s space weather systems like SWAFS 2.0 are critical for national security—monitoring solar flares that could cripple comms and power grids. But let’s cut through the contractor hype: taxpayers deserve full transparency on costs. Defense contractors love selling “mission-critical upgrades” while burying bloat in cloud-based platforms and endless data collation. Real security means demanding accountability for every dollar spent, not rubber-stamping vendor invoices because it’s labeled “space weather.” The DoD’s track record on tech procurement? Astronomical budgets, zero-bid contracts, and delayed deliverables. Protect our satellites? Absolutely. Bankroll corporate R&D masquerading as defense? Never.

BS. housing starts were slow before Trump took office. Fact is BC is headed to a recession months before Trump took office. The NDP are killing our economy by design and currently in the process of giving large swafs of land back to aboriginals under the UN UNDRIP.

ENLIGHT RISE met for the final time as a project team @univbordeaux. The team celebrated achievements, reflected on lessons learned, and prepared the final review. A great moment to mark the success & impact of RISE for the alliance! #SwafS #EuropeanUniversities @gdphotosbdx

💫Alliances have joined forces in a cross-Alliance event on Oct. 4th in #Brussels. 📅This event, hosted by @CircleU_eu , was a great opportunity to take stock of the SwafS projects and discuss the future of the R&I dimension within Alliances. Photos ©SimonBlackley

The hybrid joint SwafS event organised by Alliances this morning has been the perfect example of collegiality & inclusiveness to the benefit of all European Higher Edu and R&I communities! There was tangible content & vision! Congrats to all! #StrongerTogether

📣Today in Brussels: #EUniWell is proud to have joined the #SwafS event hosted by @CircleU_eu and co-organised by us and other #EuropeanUniversities! In her speech, our CDO @BeatrixBusse introduced "The EUniWell Strategic Approach to Develop Well-Being Skills and Competencies".

Our Project Manager, Inmaculada Periañez, has participated at the closing session of the SwafS Cross-alliance Event organized by @CircleU_eu! 🤝✨

#HappeningNow 📺 very interesting reflections taking place at the joint #SwafS event for European University Alliances in Brussels. Questions from attendees being addressed now 🔗 arqus-alliance.eu/news/arqus…

As underlined by several alliances’ representatives, in particular @LiesVandeVijver of @FilmEU_Univ and @LUCASchoolofArt, SwafS are not offering a one-time opportunity for our researchers but to propose a strategic path for R&I collaborations.

✨#EUAlliances: very rich presentations & excellent exchanges with #FOREU2 Alliances on R&I related transnational cooperation among their members (w/ #Swafs funding), achievements and challenges: 🔸Human Capital 🔸#GenderEquality 🔸#ResearchAssessment 🔸Joint #RI Strategies 1/2

Very interesting discussions on the lessons learnt and challenges met by alliances with their SwafS projects. As underlined by Mette VR @UniOslo and @CircleU_eu, the main challenge is how to scale up our initiatives that have been targeting only a limited number of researchers.

💬 Jorge Molina, project advisor at @REA_research: “With the many joint initiatives launched by alliances and your cooperation? you have contributed to increase the resonance and the impacts of SwafS projects.”

Great to have a packed room for our cross-alliance SwafS event! Pilot II European University alliances discuss achievements, successes and challenges in developing R&I activities. A perfect occasion to engage with our key partners on the future of the alliances! 👍🏻

Coimbra Group reaffirms its support as asociated partner to @CircleU_eu 👏👏. We are truly inspired by their pioneering work with the #SwafS project. We will continue to disseminate its successes and innovations further.🆙️💙

💡Very interesting to see #EuropeanUniversities Alliances now developing their own Gender Equality Plan #GEP, beyond integrating #genderbalance in their activities. Great example from @CircleU_eu presented as one of the results of their #HorizonEurope Swafs project. Congrats!

💬 @EmilyPalmer_Bxl SecGen of @Una_Europa: “We have used the SwafS project, knowing that the funding will not very repeated, to develop a joint strategy for the future of R&I cooperation”.

Delighted to attend & speak at @CircleU_eu final event of ERIA SwafS project! I will share the results of our @EC2U_Alliance RI4C2 SwafS project & reflect on the future of R&I at Alliances! Cooperation among Alliances is crucial to have systemic impact on both EHEA & ERA!

Today is the day! 🔬🥼🤝 Join us to discuss the results of @CircleU_eu Swafs project "Empowering Research & Innovation Actions - ERIA". Engage with key EU partners to reflect on the future of R&I in Europe and beyond. You can also join us online 👉 tinyurl.com/2p9hrwft
