Evidence to Drive Decision Making
June 14 | 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
The final workshop in a series on Research at Work: Science for Policy, will cover how science can impact government decision-making and inform policy. We will discuss the various pathways between science and policy, and we will examine the steps involved in communicating science to policymakers. Workshop attendees will learn from two expert speakers (one academic and one scientist working in government). These experts will share their experiences and their unique lens on the process of bridging science with policy. Finally, using case studies, attendees will have a chance to engage in the process of translating science to policy.
