This major public conference is designed to answer the following questions:
- What are the trends, challenges and opportunities for the future of evidence-informed policymaking?
- How can we build stronger science-for-policy institutions, networks and ecosystems in Europe?
- How can we develop the competencies and skills needed for effective science-for-policy mechanisms?
- How can we improve the governance of science for policy?
While there is broad agreement that policies should be informed by the best available scientific knowledge, the uptake of science into policymaking remains patchy and often ad hoc across different policy fields and member states. The conference will bring together policymakers, science advisors, researchers, ethics experts, and other professionals in science-for-policy ecosystems.
This will be a hybrid event, with participation possible both in person and online. The physical part will be held in Brussels.
