Reforms for Science for Policy in 7 Member States

Brief me

Building Capacity for evidence informed policymaking in governance

This is a 2-year project to promote reforms in the public administration and research and innovation systems for better evidence-informed policymaking.
Seven Member States will benefit from this support: Greece, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and the Netherlands, bringing a wide range of organisations from the centre of government to research and academia.
The project entails country analyses with tailor-made recommendations for reform implementation; capacity-building workshops to develop competences in researchers, policymakers, and knowledge brokers; and thematic symposia delivering international mutual learning exercises.
This is a Technical Support Instrument project, funded by Directorate-General for Structural Reform Support (DG REFORM), and implemented by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
