Commentary and Discussion on Evidence-to-Policy

Evidence-to-policy processes occur at the intersection between Science, Knowledge Production, and Society. As such, the field is pushed forward not only through academic research, but also discussion, debate, and explanation in public forums such as the media.

Therefore, INGSA collates some of the most pertinent commentaries and articles on science advice and science diplomacy, from INGSA leaders and other practitioners from around the world. We rely on INGSA members to send us updates on information they believe should be listed in the Resource Library – send your submissions to g.mills@auckland.ac.nz
