Online seminar on science-based policy advice in agriculture, food, climate and environment
12. Mai 2021
The SSC is part of the European Science Advisors Forum ESAF an independent platform of European science-based strategic advisors that promotes and facilitates the use of scientific evidence in policy. On 16 and 17 Mars, together with Aarhus University in Denmark, 300 people discussed on science-based policy advice in agriculture, food, climate and environment. Find here a summary of the main results.
The online seminar was also an occasion to talk about evidence-based policy advise in general. A very important topic at this point in time: Speakers pointed to the pandemic as a stress test for advisory bodies and emphasised the necessity to unify a fragmented ecosystem of advisory bodies in Europe through conversations and standards.
