Sourcing Science Advice: What can we learn from Europe and beyond?
On Thursday 29 September, the Royal Irish Academy held online discussion of how academics, researchers and policymakers can work together effectively to create evidence based public policy.
As the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science sought views on a consultation on the Sourcing of Science Advice for Irish public policymakers and government departments, this online discussion investigated redefining the relationship between researchers and policymakers and the Academy believes it is imperative that the experience of the research community should strongly inform developments in this area.
Attendees will had an opportunity to pose questions to the panellists and views shared will help inform the Royal Irish Academy submission to the department on this topic.

- Chair: Daniel Carey, MRIA Jaakko
- Kuosmanen, Science Advice Initiative of Finland
- Celine Tschirhart, ALLEA- SAPEA
- Scientific Policy Officer David Mair, Head of Knowledge for Policy Unit, Joint Research Centre
