JRC: Science-for-policy ecosystems through the eyes of professionals

This Joint Research Centre science for policy (S4P) report explores the perceived challenges for establishing and maintaining a well-functioning science–policy interface in the EU. To gather this information, a survey was conducted with around 500 S4P professionals from 22 EU Member States. Respondents to the survey identified a fragmented S4P ecosystem and lack of meeting…

Nature Feature: Science could solve some of the world’s biggest problems. Why aren’t governments using it?

A Nature global survey finds that most specialists are unhappy with systems to provide science advice to policymakers. By Helen Pearson Killer viruses. Artificial intelligence. Extreme weather. Microplastics. Mental health. These are just a few of the pressing issues on which governments need science to inform their policies. But the systems that connect scientists with politicians are not…

An evaluation framework for institutional capacity of science-for-policy ecosystems in EU Member States

Abstract: This report sets out an evaluation framework to assess the institutional capacity of science-for-policy ecosystems across EU Member States. The report is of interest to practitioners and expert evaluators who want to assess how different organisations and actors provide and transmit knowledge individually and jointly to support evidence-informed policymaking. Using this evaluation framework will…

Evidence-informed policy making – Building a conceptual model and developing indicators 2022 – EU Report

In principle, the application of available scientific evidence to policy making should improve its quality. As normative values and political judgements often also play a key role in decision making, this implies that evidence informs policy instead of determining it. In this context, the subject of the following study is the role of evidence in…

Assessing national institutional capacity for evidence-informed policymaking: the role of a science-for-policy system – Kathryn Oliver 2022

This report sets out a conceptual map for potential elements of a science-for-policy advisory ecosystem. The aim of this map is not to propose an ideal system, but rather to highlight how elements need to connect with each other at multiple levels; to allow us to ask how all involved in evidence production, mobilisation and…
