04 Déc Euro-CASE & CAE Forum on Evidence-based Scientific Policy Advice Held at AHUT
The Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) – Euro-CASE Forum on Evidence-based Scientific Policy Advice
Ma’anshan 15-16.04.2019
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.
Euro-CASE & CAE Forum on Evidence-based Scientific Policy Advice was held at Anhui University of Technology (AHUT) from April 14 to 17. Key participants included 14 fellows and experts from Euro-CASE of 8 European countries including the UK, France, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Serbia, and Slovenia, and 10 Chinese academicians and experts from Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) etc.
