EGU Science for Policy Hangout

Join us on the first Monday of every month to discuss how researchers can more effectively engage with policymaking, get the scoop on upcoming science for policy opportunities, and virtually mingle in a relaxed, informal environment. You’ll be met with people working at the science-policy interface as well as others who may be interested in doing so!

Each Hangout will feature an expert who is working at the interface of science and policy before dividing participants into breakout rooms to virtually network and continue the discussion! A few conversation starters will be provided to start the breakout room discussions, but participants should feel free to “go with the flow” and talk about other topics of interest.

On September 1st, our guest speaker will be Denis Naughten, a specialist in science communication and knowledge translation. Denis served as an Irish MP for 27 years, held a Cabinet Minister position, and was the outgoing Chair of the global Inter-Parliamentary Union’s Science and Technology Working Group. His presentation will explore: “How can your research shape the laws of tomorrow? Discover what parliament needs from science: credibility, clarity, and connection to constituents.”
