"Even if some policy decisions are not publicly scrutinised the evidence should still be transparent as:
1. It is good practice
2. You never know when an individual may become interested in a policy because something has happened in their life"
Camilla Arvidsson, at #ESOF2024
ALT Five speakers at the EuroScience Open Forum Conference in Katowice, Poland on 14 June 2024. These five individuals spoke at a panel session titled 'Science for Policy: In the service of society. The five speakers are Camilla Arvidsson from Sense about Science, Janusz BujNicki from IIMCB, Agnieska Gadzina-Kolodziejska from the JRC, Eduardo Oliver from Ciencia en el Parlamento, and Leonor Sierra from Ciencia en el Parlamento.
"Science cannot take a political decision, but instead inform a political decision"
Agnieszka Gadzina-Kolodziejska at #ESOF2024 raised an insightful point about the role of science in policy in this morning's session.
#ESOF2024 is exploring how to connect science, the government, and society for a better future.
We are excited to contribute to this conversation in our panel sessions on Friday, 14 June: 'Science for policy: in the service of society' & 'Is risk communication prepared for AI?'
We're heading to ESOF!
Next week, members of our team will be in Katowice to explore the connections between science and society, the conditions for conducting research, and their impact on society.
We will be live tweeting from this account, so stay tuned!
A new Open Access Book on #ScienceCommunication has been launched by the University of Luxembourg, in collaboration with the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR)!
We're proud to have contributed with our approach to public engagement.
