SUMMARY:Workshop: „Strengthening the Dialogue between Science and Policy“
DESCRIPTION:Many of the issues addressed by policy-makers in Europe and els
 ewhere are highly complex. They require considerable effort and knowledge t
 o understand them, and to develop possible options for managing them. Scien
 tific knowledge has a crucial role to play in informing some of the most im
 portant policy decisions in modern societies. This is widely recognised and
  there is a growing body of guidance on how science should inform policy-ma
 king.To be of use to policy-makers and to benefit the societies these polic
 y-makers serve, science advice should be genuinely independent and of the h
 ighest possible quality. The independence of scientific advice is particula
 rly important for decision-takers who are frequently presented with ‘advice
 ’ from interested parties and lobby groups.Science Academies are well place
 d to engage in the provision of such independent expert advice for decision
 -taking. They are associations of outstanding scientists who are able to st
 and aside from political, industrial or other special interests, in reachin
 g impartial judgements on the science underpinning policy decisions. Howeve
 r, not all academies are experienced in making the scientific excellence of
  their members available to support political decision-taking. This is why 
 EASAC organises this workshop to strengthen academies in their role as prov
 iders of science-based policy advice.The workshop addresses a professional 
 audience. Participation is possible on inivitation only.\n\nContact\n\nAnni
