To all my female colleagues in science: progress in academic gender balance is slow and sometimes painful. I know that for a fact. But we need to keep up our spirits - a true qualitative change will come one day.

Following our demand, the European Commission increases transparency:

more than 1 500 European Commission officials are now required to disclose lobbying meetings and their minutes. A major development! @thegoodlobby.bsky.social

MEPs will cast their votes on the new European Commission at midday, paving the way for Ursula von der Leyen’s second era to officially begin Sunday.

The new Commission is also a triumph, though, for Manfred Weber.

Hi! :)

Karolina Borońska-Hryniewiecka @karolinaboronska.bsky.social · Nov 22

This democratizing trend has to be improved & maintained, but lessons also have to be learned. Much remains to be done as regards cooperation between the #EuropeanParliament and #nationalparliaments to strengthen the multilevel EU representative democracy. 🎥 Recording will be available soon.

Karolina Borońska-Hryniewiecka @karolinaboronska.bsky.social · Nov 22

Great discussion on the complex power-play of democratic actors in the multilevel political system of the #EU. We agreed that despite all the criticism which #CoFoE has rightly received (read our book) it marked a turning point in the way the EU views #citizens' involvement in EU policy-making.
