On this National STEM/STEAM day, take 10 minutes out of your busy schedules and think about how you could take 1 action that might help shape the future of our profession! It might include learning about ITE's huge library of resources for students ranging from Kindergarten through High School - it might include getting involved with a local chapter or section activity that promotes the transportation professional - it might include donating to a local scholarship fund dedicated to STEM/STEAM education - or it might include talking to a teacher (everyone knows a teacher!) and volunteering to talk to their students about what it is you do for a living, and how great our industry is! Whatever you choose to do, no matter how small or how big, can and WILL make a difference for all of our futures!

Civi society organisations and the EESC have to play more active role in the governance of the TA 2030 and contribute to the priorities that have been set. Stefano Palmieri, former President of the ECO Section of the EESC and rapporteur of the opinion on the Revision of the Territorial Agenda 2030 highlights the example of the LEADER/CLLD program, where public and private entities collaborate effectively. Palmieri emphasizes the need for a similar approach in Integrated Territorial Investments (ITIs) to ensure a "balanced view of the community's development needs."

BBR is 80 years young – enjoy this journey through our history Step back in time to learn how BBR VT International has evolved over the last 80 years into a leading, global post-tensioning (PT) and stay cable solutions business. BBR introduced PT and stay cable technology to a post-war world that was desperately short of construction materials. Today, our PT technology provides substantial carbon savings across the built world. These savings are necessary to reduce emissions and help achieve net zero.

🎉Celebrating 20 years of FSR also means reflecting on our beginnings: The FSR was established in 2004 at the European University Institute's Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies as a cooperation between the European University Institute , the Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER) and the European Commission with the objective of promoting good regulation in Europe via training, research, and policy dialogue. 🌐Learn more about the FSR: https://loom.ly/WhHvWDA ➡️Meet the founders: https://loom.ly/g7H61DI
