How to answer an EU consultation

European Commission public consultations allow for individuals and organisations to contribute to the EU policymaking process. Scientists can support evidence-informed policy by providing feedback on Commission initiatives, however the process if often daunting to experts without training or experience.

This webinar will introduce public consultations, detailing the best practices and steps needed to answer an EU consultation. Presented by Kelsey Betz, education and partnership lead for The Good Lobbey, this webinar is for scientists interested in engaging in the science-for-policy interface and using their expertise to strengthen EU legislation. By the end of the webinar attendees will have a strengthened understanding of how best to communicate their expertise to policy-makers.
