The course provides a blend of theoretical approaches and practical skill-building aimed at bridging the gap between science and policy.
In today's complex realities, the interaction between science and policy is critical when we want to address the wicked problems of our time. It demands for a multidisciplinary approach, recognizing the interconnected nature of contemporary challenges and the necessity for evidence-informed policymaking.
The course serves as a crucial bridge between scientific research and effective policymaking, recognizing the importance of engaging in policy as a researcher. Participants will engage in a blend of theoretical approaches and practical skill-building aimed at bridging the gap between science and policy.
Drawing on real-world examples of evidence-to-policy translation work conducted by the lecturers, participants will explore the details of researchers' engagement with policymakers, uncovering opportunities for direct action, where evidence can drive policy decisions with tangible impacts.
