Evidence-Informed Policy Making

Videos from the masterclass:

JRC is committed to sharing our expertise in providing evidence for policy with broader scientific and policymaking community. In August 2016, we invited both scientists and policymakers from Europe and Africa to join us in Ispra and exchange knowledge on how to use evidence in policymaking effectively. This second edition of Evidence and Policy gatherings was organised in the context of Water-Energy-Food nexus.
