Third science-policy matchmaking event
The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC) and the Joint Research Centre (JRC) are organising the third edition of the science-policy matchmaking event.
In this event, the third of a series started in 2022, we will
- discuss opportunities for researchers’ mobility and training in public administration
- present concrete examples of strengthening evidence-based policymaking through science-policy interactions
- look into examples of good practice in communicating scientific results to policymakers
You will have the opportunity to hear from national policymakers taking part in two multi-stakeholder projects for evidence-based policymaking as well as from individual researchers - doctoral and postdoctoral fellows - involved in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA).
About EAC-JRC matchmaking events
EAC-JRC science-policy matchmaking events are part of the science-policy initiative to bring researchers and policymakers closer for stronger evidence-based policymaking.
The event will be guided by examples in MSCA and JRC. Everyone from the wider R&I community interested in hearing about science-policy cooperation is welcome to join and share their experience - researchers, national and international policymakers, knowledge brokers, project leaders.
The event will provide targeted opportunities for discussion.
