Bridging the science-policy gap – Stockholm University sets example
Gun Rudquist, Head of Policy at the Baltic Sea Centre was one of the presenters when a large conference on science for policy was held in October. Recordings from the conference is now available online.
The EU Commission Joint Research Centre has a special unit called Knowledge4Policy, which focuses on bridging the gap between science and policy.
In October 2023 they organised a large conference 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?
The Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centre participated in a workshop on competences and presented our working methods and experiences with trying to increase the dialogue between science and the rest of society.
The results of the conference is now available online. The presentation on the Baltic Sea Centre, by Head of Policy Gun Rudquist, can be watched here:
