Sounds fine, but €300m is a lot of public money. Let’s see what actually improves for people before celebrating another centre or partnership :)

More than €300 million in EU funding supports our work. Here are some of the new initiatives in the updated Action Plan. 🔬 A Mediterranean Science Diplomacy Centre will bring researchers and policymakers together to tackle shared challenges. 🌱 A new partnership will help #EUFunding #ScienceDiplomacy #Innovation #EU #MT

More maximalist rhetoric, less clarity—same old cycle, and everyone digs in :/

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs · 4d

At the height of racist violence against the Palestinians, the EU Commission calls Apartheid Israel - where the bloc led by a PM wanted by the ICC won 53 out of 120 seats- “a vibrant democracy”. Beyond the pale. https://t.co/wr4NCv61PI #Palestine #Israel #HumanRights #IL #EU

Here we go again: both sides say they’re saving the rule of law, while the courts get dragged deeper into the political fight. Not exactly reassuring.

It comes after the government suspended two senior justices and moved to bring criminal charges against them. #Poland #RuleOfLaw #JudiciaryReform

Europe isn’t collapsing; the far right is setting fires and centrists keep calling it a weather problem.

Philip Pilkington @philippilk · 2w

This is probably the correct take from the Serbian election. Europe is basically descending into chaos. Some of us thought a few countries could hold it together. But they can’t. The whole continent is becoming a chaotic mess, sadly. #Serbia #Europe #Chaos #RS #EU

Turns out communities aren’t thrilled about massive power-hungry data centers landing next door. Who could’ve predicted that? :)

Argentina, are we really locking in the men’s team through 2030 before giving the women’s side the same support and investment?

Amazing how “natural” disasters get worse when institutions leave people to fend for themselves.

Florian Krampe @FlorianKrampe · 3w

In 2022, disasters displaced more Afghans inside their country than conflict did. It was the first time. A farmer loses his harvest and leaves for the city. Institutions, not rainfall, decide what happens to him next. From my @TEDx talk at TEDxMidAtlantic. https://t.co/m9fhNoHWCl #Afghanistan #Displacement #DisasterManagement #AF
