\u201cKNOWLEDGE BROKERAGE AT THE SCIENCE-POLICY INTERFACE\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Interaction between policy makers, scientists and society is a crucial requirement for developing meaningful and sustainable policies. Science and other forms of knowledge are not always used effectively in policy making: it is widely perceived that policymakers do not inform scientists about their needs and that on the other hand scientists do not always proactively engage in the policy process. Knowledge brokerage, i.e. working at the interface between experts and decision-makers to achieve evidence-based policy decisions, is then critical. It is also a tricky process that requires understanding the different cultures and languages of the two sides;  one that can take different forms, with differentiated impacts, in an increasingly complex and time-constrained context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What works in knowledge brokerage? What pathways from evidence to policy should be pursued to improve the impact of scientific evidence on decision-making? How to improve communication between scientists, decision-makers and society so that knowledge brokerage translates into relevant policies with social acceptance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this MAK\u2019IT Talk, duos of international and local experts with extensive experience in the science-policy interface and science communication will discuss these key questions, in direct conversation with the conference audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
