Policy challenges in the 21st century are interconnected and complex. The amount of information needed to make an informed decision that adequately considers policy options is increasing and subsequently a broad range of scientific evidence is required to deal with them. This workshop aims to provide researchers with a practical training on how they can effectively provide information and science advice to policymakers.

OUTLINE:

·       Introduction

·       Political landscape

·       National and European scientific advice systems

·       Case study

·       Science for policy skills

·       Effective communication

·       Role play

The workshop will use participatory and interactive exercises that enable participants to engage with the content in a contextualised and memorable way. Each exercise will also be followed by a short debrief to discuss the challenges and learning outcomes of the exercise. This not only gives participants time to analyse and understand the key messages but also hear the perspectives of their peers and view the exercise from another angle.
