Workshop: Science for the Green Transition

The workshop aims to study the roles and contributions that national governments, research performers, and research funders can play to help apply and translate scientific knowledge into policies and actions that address the climate crisis.

It will demonstrate the importance of drawing on expertise at local, regional, and (inter)national level, and the need to increase co-operation between the research community and policy makers.

Speakers with extensive experience in science and science policy will bring participants up to date and inspire future steps for better co-operation between science and policy decision making.

The target audience include science policy makers, scientists, administrators, and experts from any relevant field addressing climate change and environmental protection will find in this workshop very relevant sources of information and inspiration.
