Interactions Between Scientific Knowledge and Policy Decision-Making in Health and the Environment: The Experience of a Transdisciplinary Working Group in Brazil

How can we develop comprehensive mitigation strategies for health and environmental issues that are tailored to the local context? How can we strengthen transdisciplinary collaborations between academia and the political sphere?

Jean Paul Metzger, an ecologist at the University of São Paulo and a visiting researcher at MAK’IT, will speak to us about his work and the BiotaSynthesis  project, which brings together both the academic community and government officials to address health and environmental issues. He will highlight the importance of integrative approaches to health and the environment in fostering dialogue between science and policy—particularly public prevention policies.
