In a context marked by increasingly complex socio-environmental challenges, scientific diplomacy—as a space for coordination between science, policy, and diplomacy—takes on particular relevance in Latin America and the Caribbean. With the aim of strengthening capacities and connecting key actors in decision-making and knowledge production, the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) and the University…
The UK University Policy Engagement Network (UPEN) provides blogs, toolkits, guides and reports that explore and support academic policy engagement.
Knowledge4Policy (K4P) is the EU Commission’s platform for evidence-based policymaking. Our goal: to bridge the science-policy gap by bringing together evidence for policy from scientists across Europe, to policymakers across Europe. Here, you will find: high quality, relevant and scientifically robust knowledge created and curated by 19 teams of European Commission scientists content and interfaces specially created and tailored for policymakers a…
The Centre aims to collate, create and communicate the best available safety evidence from the Foundation, our partners and other sources on both the nature and scale of global safety challenges, and what works to address them. Evidence is critical to improving the safety of people and property – but often does not yet exist,…
Mutual Learning Exercise on Bridging the Gap Between Science and Policy – 4th Thematic Report This is the fourth thematic report produced as part of the Mutual Learning Exercise on Bridging the Gap Between Science and Policy. It is framed by a discussion paper on Trust as a Governance Challenge for Science-for-Policy Ecosystems and incorporates…
The Antarctic Environments Portal links Antarctic science and Antarctic policy, by providing easy access to information on a range of scientific issues relevant to Antarctic environmental governance and management. The Portal supports the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) in its role of providing independent and objective scientific advice to the decision making bodies of…
The American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Royal Society announces the highly anticipated science diplomacy framework, “Science Diplomacy in an Era of Disruption.” The framework addresses new challenges facing science diplomacy today, including increased economic competition; rapid technological advancements like artificial intelligence; and the rise of non-state actors including “tech titans.” The…
Our Research-to-Action Compass demonstrates how research organisations can expand their support for knowledge exchange and impact more diverse science advice in three increasingly prominent fields: diverse science advice for policy, effective science communication, and sustainable entrepreneurship. The Research-to-Action Compass provides strategic guidance to translate your vision for knowledge exchange and impact into practice – based…
The last decade saw an explosion in the use of simulation models to provide policy advice from policies to mitigate climate change, address the Covid-19 pandemic to project population movements. Yet there is a growing public concern that policymakers are being left behind when it comes to not only understanding the model advice but questioning…
Background: In 2014, a large systematic map found that relational factors were amongst the most frequently reported facilitators of evidence use in policy. Since then, there has been a growth in evidence-use initiatives and research, many of which have attempted to address relational factors. In this timely updated map, we describe the current state of research…
