The future of science advice in Europe - 13 November 2019, Helsinki
This one-day event on 13 November in Helsinki brings together leading practitioners and scholars to reflect on emerging trends, weak signals, and promising opportunities for developing next-generation science advice capabilities.
Today’s world faces an increasingly complex and interconnected policy environment. This has prompted the EU and national governments to rethink existing tools and structures for designing policy, and to seek innovative ways to govern.
This rethinking extends also to science advice. Many key policy challenges of the twenty-first century depend on scientific fields where the evidence is comp...
