On a warm June afternoon, the Elmfield building was buzzing with energy as Martin Penny delivered an exhilarating workshop to staff and students of the University of Sheffield.

Martin works at the European Research Council in Brussels, managing funding for the best European projects in the physical sciences. After a career talk and discussion, we launched into a policy-making workshop, role-playing as European Commissioners, Ambassadors and Council members.

Tough negotiations surrounding legislative Articles were made between a diverse range of countries, each with their own agenda, in a series of high-pressure briefing meetings and working groups, before the Ambassadors were sent to the Coreper meeting to debate the laws.

A great afternoon of experiencing something totally different, learning about the European Institutions, and discovering the bureaucratic difficulties of creating laws for 28 countries!

Many thanks to Martin Penny for delivering an engaging workshop and to Sandrine Soubes from Think Ahead who co-hosted the session with Science in Policy.

Science has allowed us to grasp everything in an instant. Its proliferation in the 21st century made striking changes in our modern, fast-paced society. The significance of Science is the growth of sustainable development in different aspects of life, making it suitable for livable and workable conditions. However, not everyone accepts change. That is why there is a need to educate these people to understand the benefits of Science. If we could work together, we could bring sustainability within ourselves and to the world we live in.
