Science Europe: How to strengthen the dialogue between researchers and decision-makers
More dialogue is needed between the research community and decision-makers to ensure decisions made are based on scientific knowledge. A new report from Science Europe has proposals for how this dialogue can be improved.
“In an era of unparallelled global societal challenges, scientific research has never played a more important role when it comes to informing decision-makers. The guidelines form a milestone in Science Europe’s work on improving the interaction between science and politics,” says Mari Sundli Tveit, Chair of Science Europe and Managing Director of the Research Council of Norway.
Science Europe’s report “Guidance on science for policy activities” includes proposals for activities that can contribute to increased dialogue between the research community and decision-makers. The report also points out a number of principles that the activities should fulfil, such as independence, transparency, and quality. Good examples of activities from some of the member organisations are highlighted as inspiration. One of the examples is Formas’ advice on evidence-based environmental analysis.
