Beyond Scicomm 101: How To Connect With Policymakers
"We live in an increasingly polarised present, looking to a complex and uncertain future while basing our legislative decisions on systems of the past. Emotions, self-interest, power relations and values all play their role in decision-making and political discourse. Today’s drivers of political behaviour have become more complex, transnational, instrumentalised and agenda-driven than ever, bringing into question the very nature of democracy. The multi-annual Enlightenment 2.0 research programme seeks to provide the interdisciplinary scientific underpinning to optimise this evolution of the political behaviour. The presentation will focus on the report on Values and Identities: A policymaker's guide to explore the deep underpinnings of what people want, and how this is relevant to presenting research findings that resonate with the audience."
