Working at the science-policy interface requires a distinct set of competences that are rarely covered by the formal university education that researchers follow. In my professional career, I have been focusing on filling this gap,i.e. by 1) identifying the complementary 'Science4Policy' competences required for researchers working at the science-policy interface; and 2) designing and delivering training and other capacity building activities for researchers aiming to increase the impact of the their research on (EU) policies. In example, I have lead or contributed to developing several resources for researchers:
- Science4Policy Competence Framework for researchers
- Curriculum for 2-day training (online or classroom) on Science4Policy
- 1-hour e-learning course on "Science for Policy - Maximise your Policy Impact"
- 10 tips for researchers to achieve policy impact
- Science for Policy Handbook
- Training-of-Trainers porgramme on Science4Policy
