Why we do this 

The Covid-19 pandemic has arguably highlighted the importance of robust scientific advice to policymakers. As part of the JRC's efforts to promote sound evidence-informed policy-making across the European Union, a series of short, virtual workshops about 'science for policy ecosystems' will be organised between September 2020 and September 2022. 

The workshops give opportunity to

  • take stock, discuss and exchange experiences
  • co-create ideas and projects for structures, mechanisms and instruments for strengthening evidence-informed policy-making across Europe

    For whom

    Between September 2020 and September 2022, this series of workshops has brough together policymakers, civil servants, academics, and experts from across Europe. 

    • Member state governments
    • Regional and local authorities
    • National parliaments and regional legislative assemblies
    • Civil society organizations
    • National academies
    • Science-policy interface organizations at international/European level: INGSA, ESAF, OECD, SAPEA, ALLEA
    • Entities engaged in science communication
