Science for policy – In support of European Regions 

The ambitious plans laid out in the green and digital transition have created an intensive reform agenda in the EU, member states and the European regions, making collaboration between policymakers and researchers more crucial than ever. This seminar picks up the dialogue on informed knowledge-based policymaking which was initiated with the staff working document Science for Policy published by the European Commission in October 2022. Join us for this seminar where we will discuss the role of research in policymaking, emphasising regional and local policymaking.
