Knowledge for policy

Supporting policy with scientific evidence

We mobilise people and resources to create, curate, make sense of and use knowledge to inform policymaking across Europe.

The “Science for policy ecosystems” survey

We aim to understand current qualities of the science for policy ecosystems across the EU and its Member States, asking specific questions addressed at the policy demand side, knowledge supply side, and at the knowledge brokerage or science for policy interface.

  • News | 09 Jun 2021

To help strengthen science for policy ecosystem, we need to better understand what works well and where there is room for improvement. For this reason, we are running a short survey among professionals working for organisations and institutions involved in science for policy ecosystems.   

Why we do this?

The survey is an important tool to gain a systematic understanding of the qualities of science for policy ecosystems across the European Union. It is closely linked to the Science for Policy Ecosystems workshop series "Strengthening and connecting science for policy ecosystems across the EU": the survey data complement the insights gained from the workshops while at the same time helping with the preparation and tailoring of the workshops.
 

What we exactly do?


The survey contains 20 short statements to agree/disagree with about the qualities of the science for policy ecosystem that cover actors, principles, and processes on the policymaking, research, and knowledge brokerage side of the ecosystems.  
 
The data is completely anonymised and will be used to inform debates in the workshops and JRC reports on science for policy and science advice institutions and processes.
 

How you can contribute?

We would like to kindly ask you to complete the survey and help us better understand the qualities of the science for policy ecosystem you are most familiar with.


We would like to thank you very much in advance for kindly contributing to this project by completing our survey.
