Call for applications: Training-of-Trainers – Evidence for policy course

Providing and using evidence in policymaking is a complex task demanding distinct competencies that are rarely part of the curricula for scientific degrees at university.

The objective of the ToT is to train 16 pairs of ‘local trainers’, 8 pairs in June, and 8 pairs in September 2022 to deliver the 2-day professional training course on Evidence for policy.

Participants of the ToT learn how to train researchers to effectively inform the design of public policies and debates. It covers:

• assessing science,
• understanding the differences between policy and science, and
• gaining insight into the interaction between scientists, policymakers, and politicians.

Application criteria:

 Candidates are required to apply in pairs. The course requires two ‘local trainers’:

• one with a minimum 5 years of experience in scientific research and
• one with a minimum of 3 years of experience in group facilitation.

The deadline for application is 20 February 2022.
