In view of the increasing complexity of today’s societal challenges policy makers need more and more interdisciplinary scientific advice independently from fake news and from pressure groups before making important decisions for society.  Euro-CASE  23 members already provide their governments with science-based policy advice and scientific inputs in different formats and at different levels. Scientific policy advice is also important in the context of China, and Academies are also very important and active institutions for the development of science and Technology.

The common Forum was an opportunity to exchange experience between Euro-CASE and the Chinese Academy of Engineering on the development of independent scientific advice in Europe and China at the national level.
